Help for Multi-Language Development

[ebeb]

Hi,

I'm currently developing software for different hard- and software platforms. Until now, everything was fine but soon, I have to start with class diagrams for the PIM.

So I was wondering what rules I need to follow when designing it so that I can easily transform them later on.

Especially the following things:

1.) For every class, EA has a field language. Do I have to set this to "none" or does it have no effect on the PIM?
2.) What about complex types? I saw there is a conversion table of what type (e.g. int) is transformed into what type in the destination language. But what if use more complex types? Or shouldn't I and instead only use operations and add the class attributes at implementation?
3.) What about frameworks that I need to use for different Languages. How do handle them in EA? Importing their public interfaces in EA?
4.) What about different hardware drivers? I have modeled a hardware abstraction layer, but I need to have some HW drivers depending on the language and hw. How would I model that?

Thanks a lot!
