PM23057: Curly braces are generated around initial values of simple literal values, resulting in compiler warnings.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When an initial value is assigned to a Class attribute, and this
  Attribute is of a user-defined Type (unsigned char or other
  simple scalars),  Rhapsody puts curly braces around the initial
  value -
  
  /*## classInstance itsMyClass */
  struct MyClass itsMyClass =
  {        /* itsMyClass */
         {5} /* attribute_0 */
  };
  
  This results in compiler warnings with certain compilers,
  including the one used by the client. Curly braces are not
  necessary since they are not initializing an array in this case.
  This problem only seems to come up when MicroC profile is used.
  No other special environment is necessary.
  
  In addition, setting 'initial value' at the Object level (MicroC
  initial value tab) instead of the Class level, does not generate
  curly braces.  So this is only a problem when a default value is
  provided in a Class.
  
  an example is attached.

  Curly braces are generated around initial values of simple
  literal values, resulting in compiler warnings.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in version 7.5.3.
  Use the C_CG::Type::InitializeAsAtomicType property on the
  Attribute or the Type to notify that braces are not
  required.
