Title: Generating Non-Member Functions
Post by: DanG83616 on July 12, 2013, 08:13:58 am

Is there a way to generate non-member operations in a model transform?

for example, I want to put something into a C++ PSM that will result in the following after code gen:

Code: [Select]

std::ostream& operation<<(std::ostream& out, foo& foo);The transform engine complains to find "Operation" outside of a Class.

Thanks,
Dan

The last time that I wanted to model something like this I created a class with the stereotype of "namespace member". You could do the same from a transformation template.

I then created stereotype overrides in the code templates so that the class didn't generate anything for the declaration and only generated the members in the body (no braces).

Just about there... how did you suppress the using statement in the impl file?

I could not defeat EA's mission to place:

Code: [Select]

using <class>;into the impl file.

As a workaround, I made the stereotype override code template generate a forward decl into the header.

Code: [Select]

class %className%; // Just to make the compiler eat the "using" statement in the impl file w/o complaining
%list="Operation"%
I also modified the Operation Declaration Impl template like this:

Code: [Select]

%if classStereotype != "nonmembers"%
%classQualName%::
%endIf%
Thanks for the tip!
