Chart-file format and Workarea Compatibility with Statemate 4.6.1.x

Statemate 4.6.1.4 was enhanced to support expressions in the Min/Max/Default-value property fields of Data-Items and User-Defined Types.

This enhancement is a semantic change, and there is no explicit change of the data-base version.

 

As there was no explicit change of the data-base version with Statemate 4.6.1.4, it shares the same database version as previous 4.6.1.x releases, and thus all 4.6.1.x versions can technically open the same work-areas (DB version 63).

The enhanced 4.6.1.4 Min/Max/Default-value expressions are not handled properly by previous versions of Statemate, and should not be used with them.

 

The chart format version (databank file version) in Statemate 4.6.1.4 has changed to 4.7 (from 4.6 with 4.6.1.3).

Previous versions (prior to 4.6.1.4) are not blocked, by default, from loading charts that were modified with 4.6.1.4, and include Min/Max/Default-value expressions.

 

When loading chart-files (import/check-out) saved in Statemate 4.6.1.4 with a previous Statemate version the tool will report:

(I3611) Checking out chart/GDS files of format version higher than 4.6. Information from advanced versions maybe lost.

Choosing ‘Ignore’ to continue the operation, may cause issues if Min/Max/Default-value expressions are used.

 

In order to prohibit loading of chart-files saved in 4.6.1.4 with prior versions of Statemate, set the environment variable STM_SUPPRESS_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY when running the prior versions:

SET STM_SUPPRESS_FORWARD_COMPATIBILITY=ON

What's new in version 4.6.1.4

    • The tool was enhanced to support use of expressions in the Min/Max/Default-value property fields of Data-Items and User-Defined Types.
      The ADA code-generator does not support these enhanced expressions.
    • A new Check-model test was added to report Default Transitions with priority, which is not supported.
    • A new General preference "Display Data-flows in 'Where Referenced' results" was added to control whether "Where referenced" in the properties dialog will list also data-flows when activated.
    • A new Dataport function was added, to retrieve line-width of arrows and boxes:
      int stm_r_line_width(stm_id el_id, int *status).
  • Statemate Autosar Generator (SAG) Enhancements
    • New OSDT API’s
      • The following OSDT API’S were added under "Code Style => Model Data - Naming Style":
        User Defined Type Name() - To configure the name of User-Defined-Type model elements
        Enum Literal Name(enumTypeName) - To configure the name of Enum-Literal model elements

        Available in distribution with the OSI: AUTOSAR_RTE_310.
        Can be updated also from default OSI to other SAG / MicroC OSI's.
