C++: const parameters; inlines; friends...

[Karsten Meier]

Hi EA-Experts,

I'm rather new to EA. While playing around with C++ - generating and reverse generating I discovered some points and questions:

1) If I design a method with a const-parameter this method will be generated new each time the class is generated. The result is that the method appears <generating times> times in the header and implementation file !?

i.e. (in the model):
class A {
public:
  void test(const int myParam);
};

Generate it three times the resulting code looks like:
class A {
public:
  void test(const int myParam);
  void test(const int myParam);
  void test(const int myParam);
};

2) The Synchronize/Generate mechnism dont know that
int test(); and int test(void); are the same which results in duplicate entries in the code-files and the model

3) Where/how are friend-Relationships are modelled?

4) The keyword "inline" seems to be reported as an error during "import C++ files". I saw it once when I tried to import the STL-string class - the "string"-header (without ".h"!). The error was in that line:
"template<class _E, class _Tr, class _A> inline"
( it is followed by an operator+ definition for basic_string)

@EDIT ->@
5) Just a funny thing: It is possible to let EA generate a setter-method for a const-attribute :-)

6) If I configure an initial value for an attribute this initial value dont seems to be generated?

Perhaps someone may be able to answer one or more of these points. Thanks in advance.

Hi again,

I solved (1):
I didnt use the "fixed" checkbox, but typed in "const int" as the parameter type.

(2) Isn't int test() the same as int test(int) ?
If you want it to be void, you need to specify.
