Adding members to MC C generated structures.

[Schmill]

Hello,
From MC perspective, is it safe and legitimate to add members to the generated structures of Classes?

In this example I add att3 to the generated struct:

struct SomeDomain_RD
{
Escher_StateNumber_t current_state;
Escher_UniqueID_t ThingID;
i_t att1;
c_t att2[ESCHER_SYS_MAX_STRING_LEN];
struct some_type* att3; /* - can this be added to the gen? */
};


Thank you.

You simply add more attributes to the class in the data model.

Or are you wanting to modify the generated code?

Correct, I would like to add pointers to structs that are not known to the data model. by modifying the generated code.

There is documentation in the MC-3020 User Guide for doing this. But the summary is:

1. Copy generated code from the /src folder to the /gen folder.
2. Edit the code in the /gen folder.
3. Now, each time you generate code, the edited file will get copied _over_ the generated file in the src folder.

If you modify the model behind the generated code, you may want to re-generate and re-edit.

Very well, I have the documentation. just wanted to make sure I don’t do anything that is criminal to the Class structures ;)

This is the start. Pretty soon you will be asking how to change the model compiler itself to add the various patterns you are applying to the classes. :)

I’m still dealing with the very basics, but thank you so much)
