---|---|---|
enumeration |
Inner Class Corresponds To: An enumerated type. |
|
struct |

Attribute |
A keyword struct in variable definition. |
|
typedef |
Inner Class Corresponds To: A 'typedef' statement, where the parent is the original type name. |
|
union |
Inner Class Corresponds To: A union type. |
|
Attribute |
A keyword union in variable definition. |
Tagged Values
Tag |
Applies To |
See also |
---|---|---|
anonymous |
Class also containing the Tagged Value typedef Corresponds To: The name of this Class being defined only by the typedef statement. |
|
bodyLocation |
Operation Corresponds To: The location the method body is generated to; expected values are header, classDec or classBody. |
|
typedef |
Class with stereotype other than 'typedef' Corresponds To: This Class being defined in a 'typedef' statement. |
|
typeSynonyms |
Class
Corresponds To: The 'typedef' name and/or fields of this type. |

C Code |
See also |
---|---|---|
A Class |
A pair of C files (.h + .c) Notes: File name is the same as Class name |
|
Operation (public & protected) |
Function declaration in .h file and definition in .c file Notes: |
|
Operation (private) |
Function definition in .c file only Notes: |
|
Operation (static) |
Function definition in .c file only Notes: Static functions will only appear in the .c file regardless of their scope. |
|
Attribute (public & protected) |
Variable definition in .h file Notes: |
|
Attribute (private) |
Variable definition in .c file Notes: |
|
Inner Class (without stereotype) |
(N/A)
Notes: This inner Class would be ignored |
Capture #define value to be generated in C code
For example, #define PI 3.14.
Step |
Process |
See also |
---|---|---|
1 |
Add an attribute to the Class, with Name = PI and Initial Value = 3.14. |
Create and Manage Attributes |
2 |
In the properties panel of the 'Attributes' page, update the 'Static' and 'Const' fields. |
|
3 |
On the 'Tagged Values' tab of the 'Attributes' page, add a tag called 'define' with the value True. |
