Code Generation and Default Reference Type (C++)

[Andreas_G]

Hi folks,

again I have a problem with Code generation.

I have had the same problem as described in [inout] C++ References.

After I've changed my code templates it worked well. All my [inout] and [out] parameters was passed by reference.

Then I've decided to change the default reference type from "Reference (&)" to "Pointer (*)". I've created the code again but the parameters are still passed by reference (instead as pointer).

After I've noticed this, I've created a new diagram, with a new class. And created code for this class. In for this new class the code is generated correct.  

Is this a bug or a feature?  :-/

Interesting...

Were the Classes created by different version of EA?  For example, one in EA 4.5 and one in 5.0  or even one with build 767 and the other with 770?

The templates should point you are where the point of difference is.  As they used to say in the school exams:  "Compare and Contrast"

I can tell you what I think is causing it.

It is possible to set options for individual classes.  If you set any option at all¹ by clicking advanced from the generation dialog, you are setting options for that class, and all the options will be set.

Assuming you didn't intend to set these class level options, you can clear them by following the instructions at http://sparxsystems.com.au/EAUserGuide/index.html?resetoptions.htm.

Hi Simon!

It seems this was the problem. I didn't know that it's possible to set seperate generation settings for each class.

You live and learn!

Thanks!
