PI73918: TEST CONDUCTOR COMPILATION FAILS DUE TO THE GENERATION OF SERIALIZATION CODE ON CUSTOM TYPES

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer tried to create code for a project specific class
  instead of artificial ones for TC. The operation
  timestamp::operator struct tm() is created by 8.0.2 and 8.1.5
  (for a TC test context configuration) differently:
  
  8.0.2 and 8.1.5 code, the application, not the test context:
  
  timestamp::operator struct tm() const {
      //#[ operation operator struct tm() const
      struct tm a;
  
      a.tm_sec  = sec;      /* Sekunden - [0,61] */
      a.tm_min  = mins;      /* Minuten - [0,59] */
      a.tm_hour = hour;     /* Stunden - [0,23] */
      a.tm_mday = day;     /* Tag des Monats - [1,31] */
      a.tm_mon  = month;      /* Monat im Jahr - [0,11] */
      a.tm_year = year;     /* Jahr seit 1900 */
  
      // die anderen Elemente der Struktur werden nicht bedient
  
      return (a);
      //#]
  }
  
  
  8.1.5 TestPkg of test context code:
  
  timestamp::operator struct tm() const {
      NOTIFY_OPERATION(operator struct tm, operator struct tm()
  const, 0, MtCommonPkg_TimeStampPkg_timestamp_operator_struct
  tm_SERIALIZE);
      //#[ operation operator struct tm() const
      struct tm a;
  
      a.tm_sec  = sec;      /* Sekunden - [0,61] */
      a.tm_min  = mins;      /* Minuten - [0,59] */
      a.tm_hour = hour;     /* Stunden - [0,23] */
      a.tm_mday = day;     /* Tag des Monats - [1,31] */
      a.tm_mon  = month;      /* Monat im Jahr - [0,11] */
      a.tm_year = year;     /* Jahr seit 1900 */
  
      // die anderen Elemente der Struktur werden nicht bedient
  
      return (a);
      //#]
  }
  
  As a result tm_SERIALIZE, which is not defined within the model,
  generates a compile error.
  
  Steps to Reproduce:
  STEPS
  1) Unzip the share folder from "10073,227,000.Share" to Rhapsody
  installation location (replace your default share folder)
  2) Unzip the project from "10073,227,000.foribm" and open the
  M5_Hardware/M5Hardware.rpy project
  3) Ignore the two missing msc files on loading
  4) Select the VacuumTest_Comp component and GMR, enable
  animation in the configuration and GMR to build the component.
  Ignore the missing .pl file error (press cancel)
  5) Build should complete successfully.
  6) Browse to HardwarePkg::VacuumObjectPkg::VacuumUnit and create
  Test architecture.
  7) Build TCon_VacuumUnit TestContext and observe errors.
  
  PS.
  The project builds using the VacuumTest_Comp component
  with/without animation. However, when creating test architecture
  the compilation fails due to the generation of serialization
  code on custom types (structs)

  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When generate code with animation, there is animation macro  *
  * nbame that is wrong, in case that the operation is operator  *
  * of casting to struct. There is space in the midle of the     *
  * macto name.                                                  *

Problem conclusion

• Fixed by removing space from the name.
