Title: Parameter customization IN/INOUT/OUT/RETURN
Post by: YanDJ on December 12, 2020, 02:23:05 am

Hello,

To define a Parameters we can associate an paramKind to the parameter with the option 'Direction'.
There many option :

• In = By Value
• InOut = By Reference
• Out = Passed By Reference, but only the return value is significant
• Return = The parameter is a returned value

But is there a way to customize EA to add an option ? for example : 'In_Ptr'

Thank you

Hello Yan,

Pretty sure that's a no. Parameter kinds come from the standard I believe, as opposed to things like requirement types, so there'd be semantics defined for them that you can't extend.

You would need to stereotype it and use stereotype properties (aka tagged values).
