C++ MDA Transform

[SomersetGraham]

Hi All
Am I correct in thinking that there is no direct support for performing a transform from my PIM to a C++ PSM?
If this is correct how easy is the task to create a C++ trnasformation template.
Has nobody asked for this before?

Thanks

Graham

Yes, there isn't any (there was a recent thread about this topic). It's also questionable, what a "C++ PSM" should be. What exactly do you refer to, STL?
Besides some unlogical missing features regarding code generation template (CGT) macros, it works more or less like the CGT engine.

Yes it seems to be an oversight no PIM->C++ MDA transformation.
Its not difficult to create your own MDA transformation. Give yourself a few days to learn the scripting language and create the first draft. Then about a week or two afterwards to fine tune it when you are using it in anger.
You may wish to consider copying the C# MDA transform and tweaking it to C++ rather than starting from scratch.

Don't forget to set the collection classes under tools>options>source code engineering>C++

Thanks for the replies
Is there any support for a feature request for this functionality?

If you could give a commonly accepted definition what a C++ PSM should be (as I've asked you for), we could give Sparx such a request. At the moment, it looks more promising for success, that you should follow Sunshine's (nice pseudonym BTW  ) proposal.
