What's new in version 4.6.1.9

  • General Enhancements
    • Statemate was enhanced to support MS Visual C 2010 with Windows 7.
    • Convert_wa was enhanced to check command syntax and parameters.
      Upon completion the tool reports count of deleted elements and converted expressions.
      The extension of the convert_wa mapping file was changed from doc to txt.
    • Statemate was enhanced to block usage of reset_element operator on context variables. In Workareas where such an expression already exists, database diagnostics will report an error.

  • CheckModel Enhancements
    • A new Check-model test was added under design warnings, to report a warning when MicroC code may not execute default transitions of parallel And-state components on the same step:
      "(C15011) And State component with entering reactions, causing delay of default transition step".
    • 2 new Check-model tests were added, to report inconsistent input/output of Data-store:
      "(C4149) Elements input to data-store that are not output".
      "(C4151) Elements output from data-store that are not input".
    • A new Check-model test was added, to warn when Arrays are referenced with indices of wrong type:
      "Elements containing wrong type Array indices".

  • Dataport Enhancements
    • A new function was added to Dataport API to check-out license once before a series of pm functions, and hold it until stm_finish() is called:
      stm_boolean stm_init_uad_for_pm(int *status).
    • The dataport function stm_check_out_item() was enhanced to overwrite a existing modified chart in the Workarea, if the variable STM_YES_TO_ALL is set to ON.
    • New Dataport functions were added to handle Use-cases:
      stm_list stm_r_uc_name_of_uc(char* pattern, int *status);
      stm_list stm_r_uc_synonym_of_uc(char* pattern, int *status);
    • New Dataport functions were added to handle Actors:
      stm_list stm_r_actor_name_of_actor(char* pattern, int *status);
      stm_list stm_r_actor_synonym_of_actor(char* pattern, int *status);
    • New Dataport function was added to retrieve enforced status of a scenario attribute:
      stm_boolean stm_r_uc_scen_attr_enforced(stm_id id, stm_attr_name st_attr_name, stm_name st_attr_val , int *status)

  • MicroC Enhancements
    • The MicroC Code generator was enhanced to comply with the Simulation's behavior and will not re-start an already running activity.
      The code generation for the start_activity_XXX macros will check if the activity is not started before re-starting it.

  • Doors interface Enhancements
    • A new variable setting is required for the DOORS interface:
      SET DOORS_VERSION=v.r.m.f
      The setting (commented) was added in run_stmm.bat.

  • MKS X-Server update
    • The MKS X-Server distributed with Statemate was upgraded to version 8.6.
