C Options - User

If you intend to generate C code from your model, you can configure the code generation options using the C Specifications page of the Options dialog to:

·Support Object Oriented coding
·Indicate default file extensions (header and source)
·Indicate default source directory
·Indicate an editor for C code
·Specify a path that Enterprise Architect uses to search for the implementation file; the first path in the list is the default path when generating

·Whether a #define constant is imported as an attribute in imported C code (if Object Oriented programming is set to True)
·Whether to generate comments for C methods to the declaration, and to reverse engineer comments from the declaration
·Whether to generate comments for C methods to the implementation, and to reverse engineer comments from the implementation
·Whether to update comments in regenerating code from the model
·Whether to update the implementation file in re-generating code from the model
·The default source code directory location (click on the Browse button - ( ... ))
·The default file extensions to read when importing a directory of C code
·The Code Editor to use (click on the Browse button - ( ... ))
·The search path for the implementation file relative to the header file path

 

 

Statemachine Engineering

In the value fields, use the drop-down arrows to set the options to True or False; these options apply to generating code from State Machine models in the current model only:

·Use the new Statemachine Template - set to True to use the code generation  templates from Enterprise Architect Release 11 and later, set to False to apply the EASL Legacy templates
·Generate Trace Code - set to True to generate Trace code, False to omit it
