C++ code generation

[cazo]

Hi there!

I'm trying to generate the C++ code prototype from
a single class (I don't know if t's better); so, the class
is generated correctly, but I cannot see any tag that
will preserve my code. In other hand, when
regenerating my code, it repeats any time, the same
line,... like this:

char str[10]; // I change to size 20...
char str[20]; // it puts the line again...
char str[20]; // it was regenerated... and so on.

any tips?

Hi Claudio,

I don't know this for sure, but it looks to me like you're setting the name as 'str[10]' etc.  What you need to do is set the name to str and then on the Detail tab in the attributes dialog box tick 'Attribute is a Collection' and set the container type to '[10]'.

If I do that then it synchronises the changes to the container type perfectly.

Hi Simon, works fine after your tip; thanx!
So... but the same doesn't happen with the methods...
look below, please.


///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Hello.h

class Hello{

public:
     void SetSomeThing(const char *str);
     void SetSomeThing(const char *str); // repeats
     void SetSomeThing(const char *str);
     Hello();
     virtual ~Hello();
     void SayHello();
     void SetSomeThing(char *str);

     char str[30];

};


#endif // !defined(A6413818_42A5_47fe_9FDD_C8F6F19171C3__INCLUDED_)

Ops, the body code, the generation repeats
each method definition... below:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//  Hello.cpp
//  Implementation of the Class Hello
//  Created on:      26-set-2004 21:37:42
//  Original author: Claudio
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#include "Hello.h"

/**
* Constructor
*/
Hello::Hello(){

}


/**
* Destructor
*/
Hello::~Hello(){

}


// ATTENTION HERE!!!
// this method never is regenerated!!!
// it keeps here!

/**
* Display... may be hello... hello!
*/
void Hello::SayHello(){

}


/**
* set some thing (!?)
*/
void Hello::SetSomeThing(char *str){

}



/**
* set some thing (!?)
*/
void Hello::SetSomeThing(char *str){

}


/**
* set some thing (!?)
*/
void Hello::SetSomeThing(char *str){

}


/**
* set some thing (!?)
*/
void Hello::SetSomeThing(char *str){

}

I'm not sure what's going on for you there.  I don't have the problem.  My guess is that you have extra stuff in the type so that EA doesn't recognise that the method signature is the same and so adds a new one.

What I suggest is to try importing the code, that way you'll see how EA creates a model from that code and it expects things to be modelled in that way when it generates code again.
