PI40913: Timeout pool in RiCTimeout_getMemory() not correctly initialized in SMXF for IBM Rational Rhapsody

Rational Rhapsody 8.1.4

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When you attempt to use multiple timeouts in the SMXF for a
  certain Target, the model will be unable to allocate further
  timeouts from the pool after the first.
  
  SYMPTOM
  
  When you attempt to use multiple timeouts in the SMXF for a
  certain Target, it results in the system being unable to
  allocate further timeouts from the pool after the first.
  
  Results:
  
  Only a single timeout can be allocated from the timeout pool at
  a time.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  
  1. Create a SMXF project in Rhapsody.
  2. Create a statechart with multiple timeouts to occur within
  the same period of time.
  3. Target the system for a TI F28335 DSP target.
  4. Run the model.
  
  WORKAROUND
  
  You can add the following lines to RiCEvent.c before the while
  loop in the RiCTimeout_getMemory() method:
  
  static RhpBoolean isInitialized = RiCFALSE;
  if (isInitialized == RiCFALSE)
  {
     isInitialized = RiCTRUE;
     for(; ind?TIMEOUTS_POOL_SIZE; ind++){
         timeoutsPool[ind].isAllocated = RiCFALSE;
     }
  }
