What's new in version 4.6.1.7

    • Statemate was enhanced to support search in a selected scope. On the 'Search' tab, the 'In Chart/GDS' field includes the option << Selected Scope in Tree>>, and a check-box 'With Descendants' was added, to limit the search to the scope selected in the Tree View, with or without descendants..
    • The option 'Remove obsolete suppressions' was added to the View menu of the Check-model 'Messages Suppression View' form, to delete suppression of messages that were not reported during last profile execution.
    • A check-box 'With Descendants' was added to the 'Export Selected' form.
    • The convert_wa utility was enhanced to support execution in stages, and allow control of the converted elements. Full description available in the User Guide.
    • The convert_wa utility was enhanced to remove external files links in the converted database.

  • MicroC Enhancements
    • The MicroC code generator was enhanced to support breaking of enum related macros into several functions.
      This capability is activated by setting the environment variable:
      set STM_ALLOW_IMPLEMENT_ENUM_OPERATORS_AS_FUNC=ON
      The behavior can be controlled by parameters settings:
      Set the threshold of enum operator's characters, after which the tool will revert to using a function instead of macro
      set STM_MAX_CHARS_IN_ENUM_OPERATOR_MACRO=<integer-number>
      Set the threshold of case statements in a switch-case expression, after which the tool will continue the switch-case in another function
      set STM_MAX_SWITCH_CASE_IN_ENUM_OPERATOR_FUNC=<integer-number>
