How to use AnimUseMultipleSerializationFunctions property to handle a complicated type in RiC

Question & Answer


Question

How can you realise multiple serialization/unserialization functions to handle different types (In, Out, InOut) of 'class' arguments in IBM Rational Rhapsody for C (RiC)?

Cause

There are things you need to know to make AnimUseMultipleSerializationFunctions property for class type.

Answer

You can use the AnimUseMultipleSerializationFunctions property to instruct RiC to use multiple user-provided serializer/un-serializer for arguments of 'class' type. But to successfully serialize 'class' type, there are things you need to know to make the property work. The attached model demonstrates the proven usage of AnimUseMultipleSerializationFunctions property.

  • You need to use C_CG::Type::AnimUseMultipleSerializationFunctions instead of C_CG::Class::AnimUseMultipleSerializationFunctions.

  • Set CG::Type::Animate to 'False' for arguments of 'class' type (which is 'attribute_3' and 'attribute_4' in the sample model).

  • Do not modify Code pattern nor Type field in order to ensure Rhapsody recognise your serializer/un-serializer.

  • Ensure you define both serializer and un-serializer to make the function work.
