PI78250: MICROC GENERATES REDUNDANT _GEN FUNCTION FOR NON-REACTIVE INTERFACE.

IBM Rational Rhapsody 8.2.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The _gen function is used in MicroC as an optimized version of
  the GEN macro.
  If a class realizes an interface AND is a composite part of a
  reactive class a _gen function is created. This would be fine.
  
  However, removing the realization relation between the class and
  interface causes the _gen function to be removed.
  The interface realization should have no effect on whether the
  _gen is generated or not.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  1) Create a new MicroC project
  2) Add a class called xDerived
  3) Add a class called yReactive
  4) Add an interface called zInterface
  5) Add a realization from xDerived to zInterface
  6) Add a composition from xDerived to yReactive so that xDerived
  is a part of the yReactive class.
  7) Generate the code and observe the xDerived_gen function in
  xDerived.h. EXPECTED.
  8) Remove the realization and the xDerived_gen function is
  removed from xDerived.h. NOT EXPECTED.
