List of fixes
| APAR | ID (non-APAR) | Description |
| TESTRT-4402 | Previously, the test compiler (attolpreproC) generated a warning instead of an error when an incorrect structure field name was used, allowing the test to pass when it should have failed. This problem is fixed. The compiler correctly reports an error for invalid structure field names. | |
| PH59704 | TESTRT-4195 | Previously, attolpostpro displayed an 'Integer Operation Overflow' error when an enum value was out of range, even though there was no impact on the report. This problem is fixed. |

List of fixes
| APAR | ID (non-APAR) | Description |
| TESTRT-4044 | Previously, rule M10.4 was incorrectly raised for constant enums in MISRA 2012, which caused errors with constant expression. This problem is fixed. | |
| PH52071 | TESTRT-4188 | Previously, global variables used in initialization expressions or as parameters were incorrectly considered in data coupling analysis. This problem is fixed. |
| TESTRT-4313 | Previously, the FDC generation for array indexing and non-simple assignments was incorrect due to improper handling of operand operations, which led to inaccurate code generation. This problem is fixed. | |
| TESTRT-4327 | Previously, the data coupling report generated multiple charts for each global variable. This problem is fixed. The report now presents one chart per global variable. | |
| PH61107 | TESTRT-4221 | Previously, when the source code was built by using crccc, the compilation abruptly stopped if the return code was not 0, indicating an error. This problem is fixed. |
| PH61107 | TESTRT-4225 | Previously, crccc crashed when it processed unnamed structures due to issues that were caused by aggregate initialization. A pointer was null in a situation where null pointers were not allowed. This problem is fixed. |
| TESTRT-4239 | Previously, rule M10.4 was incorrectly raised for an expression that used an implicitly cast constant. The root cause was that bFALSE was interpreted as an unsigned value during a comparison. This problem is fixed. | |
| PH61650 | TESTRT-4240 | Previously, rule M15.7 was incorrectly raised for nested if-else statements. The rule should only apply to if-else if statements and not when the second if is in a block. This problem is fixed |
| PH61107 | TESTRT-4245 | Previously, crccc crashed during the check of rule M10.1.5 due to the "or" operation between enums. This problem is fixed. |
| TESTRT-4289 | Previously, the MISRA 2012 rule M10.5 was not verified for Boolean casts. The underlying reason was that the EDG type for Boolean was set to eok_bool_cast instead of eok_cast, which caused the general check to ignore these cases. This problem is fixed. | |
| TESTRT-4224 | Previously, the option to rename functions in attolcc4 did not work for stubs located in system libraries. Specifically, stubs from ignored folders such as sysinclude were not renamed. This problem is fixed. | |
| TESTRT-4237 | Previously, the exfile option in Coverage was case-sensitive on the Windows operating system, which caused issues with file exclusions. This problem is fixed. | |
| PH61244 | TESTRT-4244 | Previously, when you used MISRA 2012 from Studio, you faced issues with confruleupdater.jar due to failures related to the default JVM/JDK. This problem is fixed. |
| TESTRT-4213 | Previously, when you accessed the Call Graph in Eclipse, the calculations for functions from the same compilation unit on the stub selection page were incorrect. This problem is fixed. | |
| TESTRT-4150 | Previously, the Create Application Result option in the contextual menu did not function as expected in Eclipse. This problem is fixed. | |
| TESTRT-4219 | Previously, a syntax error occurred in the attol_serv.adb file when the smart mode feature was used in Runtime ADA. This error caused compilation or runtime issues. This problem is fixed. | |
| TESTRT-4302 | Previously, you could not create a TDP for gprbuild in ADA. This problem is fixed. | |
| TESTRT-4256 | Previously, only the first error or warning from the ADA Front End was displayed in ATU ADA. This problem is fixed. Now, the errors and warnings are displayed correctly. | |
| TESTRT-4276 | Previously, rule M12.4 was reported with an incorrect location during code review in MISRA 2012. This problem is fixed. | |
| TESTRT-4261 | Previously, function templates that were not instantiated in the code were not instrumented in attolcc4, which resulted in incorrect coverage reports. Specifically, uninstantiated function templates appeared as comments in the reports and created issues when you merged coverage results from different runs. This problem is fixed. |

| Unit Test Ada | TESTRT-3705 | Previously, when you analyzed a package separately from another package by using Ada source code parser attolstartAda. The parser generated all the services for procedures in all sub-packages that resulted in the creation of large PTU files. This problem is fixed. | |
| Documentation | PH48148 | TESTRT-3619 | Previously, documentation for the launcher attolcc (C and C++ Instrumentation Launcher) and for attolcc4 (C and C++ Instrumentor) was not updated. This problem is fixed. |
| Coverage C++ | PH47957 | TESTRT-3617 | Previously, the Coverage C++ instrumentor (attolcc4) failed when the analyzed files included Visual Studio 2019 C++ header files. This problem is fixed. |
| Postprocessor, Unit Test C | PH48242 | TESTRT-3597 | Previously, when you used the FORMAT instruction to format a 64-bit integer in a field of structured variables, the instruction failed to apply the specified format and displayed the value in the decimal format. This problem is fixed. |
| Postprocessor, Unit Test C | PH46631 | TESTRT-3568 | Previously, when you included a VAR instruction with an expression in a PTU file that contained a shift operator, for example, 277<<22, the post processor failed to generate the report. This problem is fixed. |

| Component Testing for C | PM79655 | The use of setjmp/longjmp into a test script may lead to error: `_atl_stack_link' undeclared if runtime tracing is used. Workaround: insert the following line on top of the SERVICE or PTU script: #char _atl_stack_link; using 8.0.0.4 and later, enter the following line: on top of the script if the user needs to use setjmp/longjmp with trace: #USE_SETJMP. |
| GUI - TestRT | PM82902 | The script file is not compiled as soon as the .ptu .otd .pts is changed to .PTU .OTD .PTS into the studio property even if the file uses the capital letter extension. Workaround: change the property to lowercase as well as the file extension. |
| GUI - TestRT | PM83112 | It takes longer time to export from menu File > Export > export the full project, than using menu Code Coverage > generate HTML even if only coverage is available. |
| Qualification Kit | RATLC02509242 | When a user clicks the method name in the metrics viewer the source file is opened with cursor at the top of the file instead of the line corresponding to the selected method. |
