C++ typedefs

[Coder]

When EA reverse engineers the following code into a class diagram it would put two classes A and B without any association links
class A {};
typedef A AA[5];
class B
{
  AA a;
} ;
This is a quite typical example. It is unfortunate that apparent associations are automatically added to a class diagram. Is there a way to fix this?

No, I don't think anything can be done about reverse engineering this.  It is beyond that abilities of our C++ reverse engineering.

EA can generate that attribute from an association to A if you want though.  In order to do this you need to specify the default collection class of A to AA.  And create an association with a multiplicity > 1 from B to A.
