Error description

• Headline:
  Bug in Code generation when the classes do not inherit a
  statechart
  
  
  APAR Error Description:
  Attempts to generate code results in faulty generation of
  uncompilable components
  
  
  Problem:
  
  Version: 7.6.1.2
  Edition: Rhapsody Architect for Software Engineers
  
  The package PkgHW_Can contains different implementations of a
  CAN driver. In this case one for the simulation on a PC
  (HO_Can_simPC) and one for actual HW (HO_Can). The simulated one
  needs and has a statechart, the other one doesn't. Also there
  are target and PC components which just select the matching one
  singleton object inside the PkgHW_Can package. The generated
  main file off course calls the necessary initializations in
  their ..._Init functions.
  
  For the PC simulation the generated file MainPC.c is fine and
  PkgHW_Can_startBehavior() is called from it.But for the
  Target_RL component the main file's _Init() also calls
  PkgHW_Can_startBehavior(), however this does not exist.
  
  Hence, this component is not compilable.
  
  
  Additional Info:
  
  It is OK for both the main files (MainTarget_RL.c and MainPC.c)
  to contain the 'PkgHW_Can_startBehavior()' call. But when
  Target_RL is the active component the generated MainTarget_RL.c
  file can not be compiled because the generated files
  PkgHW_Can.c/h do not declare and implement the function
  PkgHW_Can_startBehavior().
  
  In Rhapsody, it should be possible to have a package in scope
  which has multiple classes or objects in it which are not all
  part of the current component's scope. Still it should be
  compilable, no matter if some of the classes have a statechart
  and others haven't.

  ****************************************************************
  Generated code contains call to an xx_startBehavior()
  operation that does not exist.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fixed in version 7.6.1.3 - the function call is no longer
  generated.
