Problems Solved
Known Side Effects
|
Review the following list of open defects. |
|
Component |
APAR | Description |
| Rational Test RealTime for Eclipse IDE (Test case) | When a tested function returns a pointer value, example: FOO_TYPE *foo(), the generated variable in the test case, used to test the function result, is always generated as pointer type (result *FOO_TYPE) even if the preference 'Instantiate variable as pointed type' is checked. | |
| TDP Runtime | atc_on_the_fly does not work when RTRT_VARIABLE_INIT_SUPPORTED=0 in the TDP. Workaround: Use: ATL_OBSTOOLS_DUMP_FREQ instead. See settings/runtime_analysis/instrum/snapshot/frequency_dump. |
|
| Rational Test RealTime Studio (Binary) | The Ada code is not generated properly when the PTU uses a non-constraint type declared in the PTU itself. Workaround: Enter the type/code in an external file. |
|
| attolcc4 does not instrument properly 'struct' command whatever the method used, even when it is part of 'union' command. Workaround: Use attolccp instead of attolcc4 |
||
| Rational Test RealTime for Eclipse IDE (Component Testing) | CDT defect See https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=409916 Fixed in CDT 8.3.0 but TestRT 8.0.1 is delivered with CDT 8.1.2 |
|
| Tests can be exported into the workspace only, while it should be possible to export it into any other location on the file system. | ||
| Installation | When IBM Rational License Key Administrator (LKAD) and IBM Rational Test RealTime are installed at the same time and the operating system locale used is different from the default operating system language, installation fails. Workaround: During the installation process, click on 'Translations supported by only some packages' on the Install Packages/Features panel, and select the same language that you setup in your Microsoft Windows locale environment. Then, click 'Next' or install IBM Rational License Key Administrator (LKAD) and IBM Rational Test RealTime separately. |
|
| Rational Test RealTime Studio (Component Testing for C) | PI11608 | Incorrect PTU generation by attolstart when a struct field spans over several lines. Workaround: Rewrite the PTU manually once generated. |
| Rational Test RealTime Studio (C/C++ Instrumentor) | PI27688 | atostart option -restrict_dir_metrics on Linux leads to a runtime error when the directory path does not end with a /. Workaround: Add a / at the end of the path for this option. |

<li>Do you have logs, traces, or messages that are related to the problem?
<li>Can you reproduce the problem? If so, what steps do you take to reproduce it?
<li>Is there a workaround for the problem? If so, be prepared to describe the workaround.
