Welcome to the Target Deployment Port Editor

Welcome to the Target Deployment Port Editor
This tool allows you to create a new Target Deployment Port or edit an existing one.
If you are creating a new TDP:

Use templatec.xdp for C and C++ TDPs
Use templatea.xdp for Ada TDPs
Use templatej2se.xdp for Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition TDPs
Use templatej2me.xdp for Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition TDPs

For each settings, the scope information displayed in the top window indicates the list of the features impacted, and the description.
When saving your edits, the directories containing the Target Deployment Port files will be created or updated for you. Do not modify these files. Modify them only through this editor.
If you are migrating a TDP file from an older version to the 7.5 version, the TDP editor will propose an upgrade. The last new adaptation points are:

Bit number for modular Ada type,
Ada Ravenscar profile support.
Additional perl functions allowing to make your own functions which can be used in all build functions,
Redefine new and delete as inline, and Throw exception on new and delete
Init function availability,
Automated custom longjmp,
Macro RTRT_CONST_STRING allowing to execute specific code for used const string,
float compare precision, and NaN detection customization,
System testing: Socket family connection to Agent, and Thread launcher function availability,
Thread Index recovery is now separated from the Threads specifics,
Thread Clock customization allows performance profiling to have different clock than trace,
Instrumentor for C becomes the same as for C++ as soon as the basic setting > For C > USE_ATTOLCC1 is removed. This new instrumentor provides bitwise MCDC and other evolutions. See Attolcc1 migration for details.

After the automatic upgrade, these settings are set to their default values.
Note: The TDP editor and this document refer to Ada95 as ”Ada” and Ada83 as ”Ada83”. Java would mean both J2ME and J2SE.

Basic Settings
Use this section to specify default file extensions, default flags, environment variables and custom variables required for your target architecture.
The general syntax is:
FIELDNAME=”Value”
The contents of any variable defined within this section may be referenced by the Perl functions in the Build Settings section using the Perl syntax $Ini{’FIELDNAME’}.
Common settings for all languages can be located in “For All”. This avoid to duplicate them.
Environment variables referenced on the right will be evaluated. Example:: CC=”cc”
will set the value cc into $Ini{’CC’}; INCL=”-Ic:\Temp”
INCLUDE=”$Ini{’INCL’} –Ic:\Tmp”
would set $Ini{’INCLUDE’} to ”-Ic:\Temp –Ic:\Tmp”
Values may contain:

Constants
Example:
CC=”gcc”
Contents of previously defined variables
Example:
CC=”gcc”
COMPILER=”$Ini{’CC’}”
Contents of environment variable
Example:
INCLUDE_PATH=”$ENV{’INCLUDE’}”

Note: the Evaluation of each variable is done using a top down execution. This means that any variable used to set a new one must be defined above. Use the Up and Down Key to organise them.
Required Fields
The following fields are REQUIRED. The value is dependent on your target environment, except for LANGUAGE, but if these fields are not set properly, the process will fail later.
OBJEXT=”<Object File Extension>”
This field should contain the default object extension for object files. It may be something required by the compiler (some compilers do not permit the generation of files with extensions other than ’.o’ or ’.obj’). For example: OBJEXT=”obj”
This setting is unused in Ada and Java.
SRCEXT=”<Source File Extension>”
This field represents the source extension that will be used to generate test drivers (output by the Test Script Compiler). For example: SRCEXT=”cc”

This setting is unused in Java.
Optional Fields

Accessed via the Add... button, optional fields can be added
They will be usable by the compilation, link and execution Perl scripts, accessed by the syntax:
$Ini{’FIELDNAME’}

The FIELDNAME must be one word without any blank space or special chars.
ATTMODE(runtime Tracing),ATCMODE(code Coverage),ATPMODE(memory profiling) and ATQMODE(performance profiling) can be set to 0 to disable the corresponding features in TestRT studio.
Environment variables
If the FIELDNAME begins with ENV_, it will be added to the environment as a regular environment variable, with the following semantics:
ENV_SET_IF_NOT_SET_VARIABLE=”VALUE” will set VARIABLE in the environment to the value VALUE, as an environment variable, unless VARIABLE already exists in the environment. If it already exists, the original environment variable is not touched.
Example:
ENV_SET_IF_NOT_SET_WIND_BASE=”c:\Tornado”
will set the WIND_BASE environment variable to c:\Tornado unless it is already defined in the environment.
ENV_VARIABLE=”VALUE” will set VARIABLE in the environment to VALUE, as a regular environment variable.
Example:
ENV_PATH=”c:\Tools;$ENV{’PATH’}”
will add c:\Tools as the first path in the PATH environment variable.
ENV_PATH=”$ENV{’PATH’}; c:\Tools”
will append c:\Tools as the first path in the PATH environment variable.
COMPILER=”binary compiler Name”
this variable is used by attolcc/TestRTcc to check TDP and compiler compliance. It can be used into the compilation function to set the compiler to be used.
LINKER=”binary linker Name”
this variable name is a convention. It allows anybody to check what is the linker used by the TDP without using the TDPeditor. It can be used into the link function to set the linker to be used.
DEBUGGER =”binary debugger Name”
this variable name is a convention. It allows anybody to check what is the linker used by the TDP without using the TDPeditor. It can be used into the exec or debug function to set the debugger to be used to execute the application.
Note: PREPROCESSOR, DLLER are also prefered name to be used to determine the binary name of the preprocessor and the dll maker
Useful known variables
VARIABLE=$REG{‘registryPath::key’} will set VARIABLE to the value found in the registry registryPath=>key.
Note:
This functionality is only available on windows.
The result is that such variables beginning with ENV_ may be accessed in atl_cc.pl, atl_link.pl or atl_exec.pl Perl scripts through either $ENV{’VARIABLE’} or $Ini{’ENV_xxxxx_VARIABLE’}.
STD_INCLUDE=Path1,Path2,Path3
The paths listed here will be used to set the standard include path, used by the analyser see incl_std for C or sys_include for C++, into the parser settings.
This setting is unused in Ada and Java.
Note: The $ENV{‘MY’} syntax, used in the STD_INCLUDE, is replaced by the environment variable value (of MY) when the TDP is saved.
GCCUPDATE=”additional_options”
When this key is set to any value the gccupdate function is executed at the end of the TDP generation (after the postGen.pl if any), to get include path and defines to update the parser setting automatically.
This function use the Basic setting For C ‘COMPILER’ as compiler name with ‘DEFAULT_DEFINES’, 'DEFAULT_CPPFLAGS', 'DEFAULT_CFLAGS' and the provided additional_options.
The –v option is also automatically added if there is no detected options in additional_options.
NOPATH=”On”
If defined (the value is not important), this field indicates that in all generated/instrumented source codes, no absolute path (for includes and for the intermediate test report) will be generated.
Example:
The default code generation is: #include ”c:\\Program Files\\...\\something.h” ... OpenFile(”c:\\Program File\\...\\IntermediateTestReport”); ...
If NOPATH is set, the code generation will be: #include ”something.h” ... OpenFile(”IntermediateTestReport”); ...
Setting NOPATH to ”On” is useful when the compilation and/or the execution of the test program or of the instrumented application is made on another machine than the one hosting Test RealTime.
In order to avoid TP.h access problem at compilation time the real path to TP.h located into the $ATLTGT/lib is specified as include directory path on the compilation command.
The default is to not define this flag.
NOPATHOUT=”On”
If defined (the value is not important), this field indicates that no path will be generated, in the application code, for the results filename. Useful when the application runs on another machine than the one hosting Test RealTime.
Can be used in conjunction with HOST_SPT to provide to studioreport and eclipse plug-in the means to access directly to the result file where it has been generated.
ABSPATHOUT=”On”
If defined (the value is not important), this field indicates that absolute path, instead of relative, will be generated, in the application code, for the results filename. Could be useful when the executable must be moved or when the current directory has changed before execution.
ATL_TRACES_FILE=”Path/[Name]”
Use this setting when the result file to be written by the application must have a fixed path or pathName to be visible from the host.
If set this setting force the results filename used by the library priv_open function.
Can be used in conjunction with HOST_SPT to provide to studioreport and eclipse plug-in the means to access directly to the result file where it has been generated.
If set this setting force the results filename used by the library priv_open function.
HOST_SPT =”Path/[Name]”
Use this setting when the result file is written in a fixed directory on the host. Usefull when target file systems have a fixed host directory as their root directory.
Used by studioreport and eclipse viewer. This setting provide the path or the pathName of the Test RealTime result file generated by the instrumented application. This setting help the viewer to read the dynamic result file to be splitted and then sown in the viewer. This is usefull for target writing their files in a special shared directory.
CONTONWARN=”On”
This field indicates whether the C Test Script compiler or the System Testing compilers should consider warnings as errors or not. If warnings are errors, the behavior for the build process is to stop.

The default behavior is to stop if any warnings are raised during these phases.
RESTR=”NOALLOC|NOEXCEPTION|NOIMAGE|NOPOS”
Useful only for Component Testing for Ada. It prevents the generation of instructions not supported by the target compiler. They are:

ALLOC
Try/Catch blocks for Ada
’IMAGE attributes
’POS attributes

INSTRUM_OPT= ”VALUE”
Where the VALUE is an aditional valid instrumenter option for the selected language.
Note: -INIT_UNSUPPORTED in this key (For Ada only) will automatically generate the apropriate modification to the runtime and the pragma preelaborate will be added to the generated attol_cfg.ads as well as to all instrumented source files.
Note: –ELABORATE_ALL intrumentor option allows to generate the pragma elaborate_all to all instrumented source files.
Note: –C99 option for the C intrumentor allows to instrument C99 code (bool type is defined in C99).
USE_ATTOLCC1= ”1”
Since the 7.5 release the instrumentor for C is the C++ instrumentor attolccp. If for some reasons you need to use the old attolcc1 instrumentor you can set this basic setting in the TDP. But you must be aware that attolcc1 is now end of life and will disapear in a futur release. So this setting is provided, more as a temporary work around than a final solution. So we strongly encourage you to report the issue you may have using attolccp to get a fix and so create a TDP available for futur releases. If your TDP is migrating from previous release, this setting is automatically generated. See Attolcc1 migration for details
METRIC_OPT= ”VALUE”
Where the VALUE is an aditional valid metric computation option for the selected language.
START_OPT= ”VALUE”
Where the VALUE is an aditional valid test script generator option for the selected language.
PREPRO_OPT= ”VALUE”
Where the VALUE is an aditional valid test script compiler option for the selected language.
ATTOLCC_CCFLAGS= ”VALUE”
Where the VALUE is the added options to the compilation command once the file is instrumented using the attolcc mechanism.
ATTOLCC_LDFLAGS= ”VALUE”
Where the VALUE is the added options to the link command once the application is instrumented using the attolcc mechanism.
SOCKET_UPLOAD=”true”
If defined, the TestRT GUI start automatically the trtpd socket uploader server binary, “SOCKET_UPLOAD_START_TIME” seconds before the executable, at execution time. This file server open a socket listener on localhost to get result files on the port number defined by the node setting general::host ($UPLOADER_PORT). By this way the TDP Runtime can open a socket connection with this file server in the usr_init or usr_open, send data in the usr_writeln, then close the connection in the usr_close.
Note that LINE_SPLIT_MARKER must be used for socket uploader
STARTUP_CODE=”VALUE”
Where the VALUE is the optional full path and filename of the startup code, required by the target to execute the application. If the path is omitted the file is supposed to be in the target lib sub directory. The language may be C or assembler.
When set this file will be compiled after the runtime compilation then linked to the application, except if the application node already involve the same file name.
ATSEXEC=”my_perl_exec.pl”
When set to a perl file and if no deployment is defined in the setting, this allows to use the "$TARGETDIR/cmd/my_perl_exec.pl" code to execute the binary as defined in the deployment table $VT_DEP_CONF[x][0].
INTEXT=”ali”
When set the value is used as intermediate extension file that the Ada compiler is supposed to generates for each object file and that must be removed on clean action. Note: if not specified ali is the default extension (see GNAT compiler)
EXIT_CODE_IN_MEMORY_PROFILE=”on”
When set in the TDP the execution function return code is supposed to be the application exit code and it is then part of the Memory profiling report.
ATP_ALTERNATE_GLOBALDATA_INSPECTION=”1”
When set in the TDP, the –noinspect option is added at instrumentation to make sure the instrumented code will not inspect global/local variables found in the source files.
PREPROCESSING=”on”
When set for Ada,Java and ASM a preprocessing step is then executed before instrumentation/compilation through an atl_cpp function. The atl_cpp must then exist in the TDP. The prototype is the same as for the C TDP preprocessing function. It could help to make a special treatment before any instrumentation.
RESTR=”myRestriction”
When set the option -RESTRICTION=myRestriction is automatically generated on the test driver generation (attolprepro) and template PTU generation (attolStart)
ENTERINSCRIPT=”my_perl.pl”
When set in the TDP each perl script execution execute as well the perl code located in $TARGETDIR/cmd/my_perl.pl.
ATTOLSTART=”my_perl.pl”
When set in the TDP the perl function attolStart from $TARGETDIR/cmd/my_perl.pl is executed instead of the template generator. The parameters: ($Command,$lang,$src); are respectively the command line to be executed to generate the template, the language of the source code, the input file. This allows to modify the source file before generation then start the generation using a systemP command and modify the generated file after generation.
ATTOLPREPRO=”my_perl.pl”
When set in the TDP the perl function attolPrepro from $TARGETDIR/cmd/my_perl.pl is executed instead of the test script compiler. The parameters: ($command,$language,$input,$output) are respectively the command line to be executed to generate the code, the language of this code, the input script file, and the output file generated by the test script compiler. This allows to modify the source file before test script compilation then start the test script compilation using a systemP command and modify the generated source file after test script compilation.
ATTOLINSTR=”my_perl.pl”
When set in the TDP the perl function attolInstr from $TARGETDIR/cmd/my_perl.pl is executed instead of the instrumentor. The parameters: ($command,$language,$input,$output) are respectively the command line to be executed to instrument the code, the language of this code, the input file (.i), and the output file generated by the instrumentor. This allows to modify the .i file before instrumentation then start the insturmentation using a systemP command and modify the instrumented file after instrumentation.
ASMINSTR==”my_asm_instrumentor.exe”
If set in the TDP the asm files are then instrumented using the binary $TARGETDIR/cmd/my_asm_instrumentor.exe. the command line parameters are in order: the asm input file, the insturmented output file, instrumentation options, and -studio_log=logFile. Provided options are the same as for other Ada,Java,C,C++ instrumentors. This allows to plugin an asm instrumentor into a TDP. The instrumentor should generated FDC file for each source and log them into the logFile as “FDC fdcFile”.
ATTOLALK=”my_perl.pl”
When set in the TDP the perl function attolalk from $TARGETDIR/cmd/my_perl.pl is executed instead of the attolalk binary. The parameters: ($adalink_alk, \@GENERATION_CONDITION, \@all_includes) are respectively the output file to generated, the setting macro definitions, and the setting include paths. This allows to use a propriatary alk generator according to the compiler used.
REPORTHEADER=”my_perl.pl”
When set in the TDP the perl function reportHeader from $TARGETDIR/cmd/my_perl.pl is executed after the text file header genration. The parameters: ($headFile,$InEclipse) are respectively the header requirements file (in text format), the execution environment (1 when running under eclipse, 0 under studio).
This allows to add propriataries header lines or paragraph in the XRD reports. These lines are then reported in the <NodeName>.summary.txt . The header requirement text format is:
‘#title’ to make a new paragraph, ‘Title=value’ are splitted on the = and printed on 2 colons, Title without =Value is printed out on a single line.
RUNTIME_DEFINES=”macro1=value,macro2=value”
When set in the TDP the product.h involve #define lines corresponding to each declared macro. For multiple macros definition, they must be separated by a comma. The value, if any, is separated from the macro by an = sign.
This allows to set define visible only to the Target Deployment Port. So any new user have to modify the runtime setting to change the TDP behaviour.
RTRT_BUFFER_SIZE=”VALUE”
When set and if studio setting has a bigger value, this macro override the buffer size defined by the studio settings. So It define the max buffer size supported by the target.
It can be used when the dump is done using a debugger macro command dumping a fixed size.
It is automatically generated in basic settings when set in the IO settings. Except that IO settings set the size and does not let the user to reduce it.
Build Settings

Use this section to configure the functions required for the integrated build process.This section can also be used to include all additional files needed by the TDP. To add, rename or suppress an additional file use the right click mouse on this section. All additional files are stored in the cmd subdiretory of the TDP. The subdirectory may be specified if needed.
Example: lib/custom.c will save custom.c in the lib subdirectory.
Mydir/myfile.h will create Mydir subdirectory and save myfile.h into Note: only one subdirectory may be specified.
attolcc function

Description:
Required by the command line instrumentation, instrumentation invoked by makefile, and eclipse integration, this perl script will allow to analyse the compilation/link command line to be able to generate the 3 required steps to get the instrumented object file.
Path: Build Settings > attolcc.pl

To get the instrumented object file: prefix the compiler/linker command with the line: $ATLTGT/cmd/attolcc <InstrumOptions> -- CC …… where the CC ….. is the original compilation/link command line without instrumentation.
To have this functionality anabled, the perl script named attolcc.pl must be part of the TDP build settings. This script file have to analyse significant compiler/linker options to be able to activate/modify attolcc mechanisms. An attolcc_template.pl is delivered in the $TESTRTDIR/lib/scripts.
So to make your specific attolcc for your compiler, create an ASCII file in Build settings named attolcc.pl then copy the content of the attolcc_template.pl into it. make required modifications in accordance with the available compiler/linker options and their behaviour.
Delivered attolcc_gcc.pl and attolcc_cl.pl are good examples.
postGen function

Description:
This function will be called to do any modification or execution, required by the TDP, after the TDP generation, when the TDP is saved. To be called this function must be included into an additional file Named postGen.pl. this function is called with the directory path, where the TDP is generated, as parameter.

Scope: All features
Path: Build Settings > postGen.pl

Prototype:
postGen

use File::Copy; sub postGen {: my $TARGETDIR =shift;
copy("$ENV{TESTRTDIR}/targets/xml/attolcc/AtsMain_win32.c",
"$TARGETDIR/lib/AtsMain.c");
unlink((“$TARGETDIR/tpcpp.ini”);
} 1;
Note: some predifined variables can be used into the postGen.pl: $OSNAME= “win32”|”unix” $PATH_SEPARATOR= “\”|”/” $SMALL_PRODUCT_NAME= “TestRT”|”P+RT” $TESTRTDIR= the path to the install directory.
$BINDIR= the directory path to all binaries used by the tool.
$SCRIPTDIR= the directory path to all generic perl scripts used by the tool.

Compilation function

Description:
This function will be called to compile $src. The generated object file is referenced by $out. $cflags are compilation flags, $Defines contains defines, while include search paths are stored in $Includes.

Scope: All features
Path: Build Settings > Compilation function

Prototype:
atl_cc($$$$\@\@)
{
my($lang,$src,$out,$cflags,$Defines,$Includes )=@_;
}

Examples: example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4,
Parameter Description:: $lang:; Contains the values C, CPP, ADA, ADA83 or JAVA.; It should contain CPP if the extension of the source file parameter is .cc,.CC,.cpp,.CPP,.cxx,.CXX or .C.; It should contain C otherwise, unless the extension of the source file is .ada, .ads or .adb. In this last cases, $lang will contain ADA or ADA83 depending on the $Ini{’LANGUAGE’} value.; $src:; Contains the source file name. File names may contain white space.; All source file names are given using relative path .; $out:; References the generated object file.; Unused in Ada.; For Java, this parameter contains the directory where to put the .class; files.; $cflags:; Contains the compilation flags, consisting of the concatenation of the preprocessing flags and of the compilation flags. These values, initially coming from $Ini{’DEFAULT_CPPFLAGS’} and $Ini{’DEFAULT_CFLAGS’}, may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, and then modifying the Preprocessor Options and/or Compiler flags sections).; $Defines:; Contains a reference to a Perl array containing defines. The initial list of defines comes from $Ini{’DEFAULT_DEFINES’}, but the given list may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, and then modifying the Preprocessor macro definitions section).; In most case, this array should be transformed into a scalar variable containing ”–Ddef1=val1 –Ddef2=val2”. Refer the ”Useful Perl Routines” for details of how to do this.; Unused in Ada and Java.; $Includes:; Contains a reference to a Perl array containing include search paths. The initial list of paths comes from $Ini{’DEFAULT_INCLUDE_PATHS’}, but the given list may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, and then modifying the Directories for Include Files section).; In most cases, this array should be transformed into a scalar variable containing ”-Ipath1 –Ipath2”. Refer the ”Useful Perl Routines” for details of how to do this.; Unused for Java.

Ada Specifity:
The only parameters required for Ada are $lang and $src.
$src contains the name of the source file to chop or compile.
All source file names are given using relative path .
Depending on the target compiler:

The given file may need to be compiled and put into a library. In this case, the usual way is to create a test-specific library, which would be a child-library of a more global library containing all the project packages. The creation of the test library can be accomplished via a Perl function - refer the ” Useful Perl Routines” for details of how to do this.
The target linker may recompile what is needed at link time. There is no specific compilation step to achieve, except to put the received $src argument into a particular location, and splitting the contents into units so that there is only one unit per file, where the name represents this unit. This is the case with Rational Apex or Ada Gnat compilers. All these compiler are relying on the fact that all the Ada packages should be contained within a specific directory with specific names for each of them. Ads/adb is the rule for Gnat, while.1.ada/.2.ada is the naming rule for Rational Apex. Each file contains a single unit.

In this last case, in order to achieve the split, the user can use the gnatchop tool (from the Gnat distribution), or the attolchop tool. Though gnatchop only splits files using Gnat-compliant naming rules, attolchop also addresses Rational Apex naming rules. See details on attolchop in the Test RealTime Reference Guide. It acts the same way as gnatchop.

Return Value:
0 on success
Anything else on error.
Note the die instruction does not return to the caller. It abort the process. For this reason the die instruction must not be used in any build perl functions (except atl_execdbg) to make sure other actions are well done. Please return error status instead.

$src and $out are double-quoted when given to the compiler. Indeed, they may contain white spaces.
The name of compiler is obtained from the COMPILER variable set in the Basic Settings section. This can be used to change the compiler without modiying anything else. For example, Tornado II for VxSim or for 68k would be addressed by changing the COMPILER variable from “ccsimpc” to “cc68k”.
The environment variable TORN_INCLUDE is accessed by an environment variable set in the Basic Settings section $ENV{’TORN_INCLUDE’}.

Preprocessing function

Description:
This function will be called to preprocess a source file. The preprocessed file name is stored in $out. $cflags are preprocessing flags, $Defines contains defines and include search paths are stored in $Includes.
The preprocessing function should launch the C-Preprocessor with the appropriate options. Refer to the “Useful Perl Routines” for Perl advices about how to write this function.

Scope: All features, C-C++ only
Path: Build Settings > Preprocessing function

Prototype:
atl_cpp($$$$\@\@)
{
my($lang,$src,$out,$cflags,$Defines,$Includes )=@_;
}
Examples: example 1, example 2

Parameter Description:: $lang:; Contains the values C, CPP.; It will contain CPP if the extension of the source file parameter is .cc,.CC,.cpp,.CPP,.cxx,.CXX or .C.; It contains C otherwise.; $src:; Contains the source file name. File names may contain white space. All source file names are given using relative path .; $out:; Contains the name of the generated C-preprocessed file.; $cflags:; Contains the preprocessing flags. This value, initially coming from $Ini{’DEFAULT_CPPFLAGS’}, may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, and then modifying the Preprocessor options).; $Defines:; Contains a reference to a Perl array containing defines. The initial list of defines comes from $Ini{’DEFAULT_DEFINES’}, but the given list may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, and then modifying the Preprocessor macro definitions section).; In most case, this array should be transformed into a scalar variable containing “–Ddef1=val1 –Ddef2=val2”. Refer the ” Useful Perl Routines” for details of how to do this.; $Includes:; Contains a reference to a Perl array containing include search paths. The initial list of paths comes from $Ini{’DEFAULT_INCLUDE_PATHS’}, but the given list may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, and then modifying the Directories for Include Files section).; In most case, this array should be transformed into a scalar variable containing “-Ipath1 –Ipath2”. Refer the ” Useful Perl Routines” for details of how to do this.

Return Value:
0 on success
Anything else on error.
Note the die instruction does not return to the caller. It abort the process. For this reason the die instruction must not be used in any build perl functions (except atl_execdbg) to make sure other actions are well done. Please return error status instead.

Important Notes on Preprocessing:
Since all runtime observation features use #line to produce results based on the original source code, it is VERY important that the C-Preprocessor is compliant with the following typical constraints:

No line may be continued on the next via a backslash in the output file. All the pragmas or macros that contained backslashes in the original source code have to be written on the same line.
There must be #line lines or # lines identifying the name of file and the CORRECT line numbers
No line mismatch between what #line states and the original source code.


If the C-Preprocessor provided by the target development environment is not compliant with these constraints, there is a very high risk that you will obtain observation results that do not exactly match the original source code.
In this particular case, a GNU-based preprocessor can be used.

Any gnu-based preprocessor output must be routed to the fixlines program which transform lines # 1 into #line 1 which is the expected input format for the compiling step made after instrumentation.
Example of preprocessing step for any gnu-based compiler:
ccsimpc –DCPU=SIMNT –E a.c –o a.ii
fixlines a.ii a.i
attolcc1 a.i a_i.c atct.def
ccsimpc –DCPU=SIMNT a_i.c –o a.o

The fixlines program is located in the bin directory of Test RealTime:
<InstallDir>/bin/intel/linux/fixlines or
<InstallDir>/bin/intel/win32/fixlines.exe


Example 1:
sub atl_cpp ($$$$\@\@) {: my($lang,$src,$out,$cflags,$Defines,$Includes )=@_;

my $defines = "";
foreach (@$Defines) { $defines.=" -D$_"; }
my $includes = "";
foreach(@$Includes) { $includes.=" \"-I$_\""; }

return($ret) if($ret);
$ret=SystemP("$BINDIR/fixlines atltmp.i $out”);
unlink(“atltmp.i”);
return($ret);
}

Highlighted here:

The prototype of the function “sub atl_cpp ($$$$\@\@) {” indicates the expected types: 4 scalars and 2 references to lists.
$Defines and $Includes are transformed into scalar variables, containing “-D… -D…” and –I”…” –I”…”. Note that include search paths may contain white spaces.
$src and $out are double-quoted when given to the compiler. Indeed, they may contain white spaces.
The name of compiler is obtained from the Basic Settings section by accessing the variable $Ini{’COMPILER’}. This can be used to change the compiler without modiying anything else. For example, Tornado II for VxSim or for 68k would be addressed by changing $Ini{’COMPILER’} from “ccsimpc” to “cc68k”.
The environment variable TORN_INCLUDE is accessed by $ENV{’TORN_INCLUDE’}.
The last two fields come from the Basic Settings section.
The compiler is launched using the Perl SystemP command.
Since the compiler used is a Gnu-based compiler, which generates “# <Number>” lines instead of “#line <Number>” lines, the program fixlines needs to be run in order to generate the expected $out file.

Example 2:
sub atl_cpp ($$$$\@\@) {: my ($lang,$src,$out,$cflags,$Defines,$Includes ) = @_;

The $lang parameter can be used to run a different tool. In this case, it is used to run the resource compiler if the source file extension is rc.
atl_cc will return the return code of the last SystemP command, unless the $src parameter is an rc file.
The expression:
my ($b,$d,$e)=fileparse($src,map("\.\Q$_\E",@_));

Link function

Description:
This function will be called to link the object files contained in the Perl array pointed to by $Objects. The generated executable file name is stored in $exe. $ldflags are linker flags,
$LibPath contains library search paths, while additional object files or libraries are stored in $libs.
The link function should launch the linker with the appropriate options. Refer to the “Useful Perl Routines” for Perl advices about how to write this function.

Scope: All features
Path: Build Settings > Link function

Prototype:
C/C++ TDP:
sub atl_link ($\@$\@$\@) {

}
Ada TDP:
sub atl_link ($\@$\@$) {: my ($exe,$Objects,$ldflags,$LibPath,$libs)=@_;
}

Examples : example 1, example 2, example 3, example 4, example 5

Parameter Description:: $exe:; Name of the executable program to produce.; All file names are given using relative path except for Ada.; $Objects:; Contains a reference to an array of the object files to be linked together.; Unused in Ada.; $ldflags:; Contains the preprocessing flags. This value, initially coming from $Ini{’DEFAULT_LDFLAGS’}, may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, then selecting Linker, and then modifying the Link flags section).; $LibPath:; Contains a reference to a Perl array containing library search paths. The initial list of paths comes from $Ini{’DEFAULT_LIBRARY_PATHS’}, but the given list may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, then selecting Linker, and then modifying the Directories for Libraries section).; In most case, this array should be transformed into a scalar variable containing “-Lpath1 –Lpath2”. Refer the ” Useful Perl Routines” for details of how to do this.; $libs:; Contains additional libraries. This value, initially coming from $Ini{’DEFAULT_LIBS’}, may have been modified by the user (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, then selecting Linker, and then modifying the Additional objects or libraries section).; $OtherLibs:; Contains a reference to an array of the referenced library files to be linked to the application. These library are made by an other node in the project.; Not available in Ada.

Ada Specifity:
$ATL_MAIN_PROCEDURE is a Perl global variable that contains the name of the entry point. If making an Ada Component Testing program, the value of $ATL_MAIN_PROCEDURE will contain the test program entry-point. If making a stand-alone instrumented application, the user must specify the name of the main entry-point (by right clicking on a node in the Test RealTime user interface and then selecting Settings, then the Build tree, then selecting Execution, and then modifying the ‘main procedure’ section).
This Perl variable is given to the Ada linkers, representing the main procedure.
$COMPLETE_INCLUDE_DIR_LIST is a Perl global variable that contains the setting for compiler > Default & user include directories. These includes may be used as search list for Ada compiler.
$CFLAGS is a Perl global variable that contains the compiler > Compiler flags settings.
Sources to be compiled/linked to make the executable including the required TestRT runtime files are All, located in the $INTDIR. No additional files are requires to make the final executable.

Return Value:
0 on success
Anything else on error
Note the die instruction does not return to the caller. It abort the process. For this reason the die instruction must not be used in any build perl functions (except atl_execdbg) to make sure other actions are well done. Please return error status instead.

Notes:
Some linkers may require a linker command file. Generate this linker command file and give it as a parameter. For example, add Perl code in this atl_link routine: open(LNKFILE,”>TestRT.lnk”); print LNKFILE “Any Mapping Instructions or Linking options….\n” foreach(@$Objects) { print LNKFILE “OBJECTS $_\n”; } print LNKFILE “OUTFILE $exe\n” close(LNKFILE); SystemP(“link \@TestRT.lnk”);
Some linkers do not support main as a regular entry point – such as the linkers for VxWorks and many RTOS). If that is the case, rename the main function to a regular entry point.

Example 1: VxWorks
sub atl_link ($\@$\@$\@) {: my ($out,$Objects,$ldflags,$LibPath,$libs) = @_ ;

my $linkPath=$Ini{'LINKER'};
my $nmPath=$Ini{'NM'};

return($ret) if($ret!=0);
}

Highlighted here:

This linking phase is a typical VxWorks linking phase, based on the nm program, which generates a piece of C code (tornTmp.c) that must be compiled and linked in the final object file.

Except if NOPATH, NOPATHOUT, or ABSPATHOUT are used.; For Java, it contains the Java class containing the main method (to be given to the JVM).; $parameters:; Parameters for the executable, if any. This parameter list comes from the settings > execution > parameters field.
Return Value:
0 on success
Anything else on error.
Note the die instruction does not return to the caller. It abort the process. For this reason the die instruction must not be used in any build perl functions (except atl_execdbg) to make sure other actions are well done. Please return error status instead.

Example 1:
Standard windows execution step: (Standard-Mode)
sub atl_exec ($$$) {: my ( $exe,$out,$parameters)= @_;

unlink( $ri );
SystemP( "\"$exe\" $parameters " );
}

Highlighted here:

Running $exe will directly generate the $ri file.
The return code of the atl_exec function is the return code of SystemP.

Example 2:
The VxWorks Execution Step: (a user-mode example)
sub atl_exec ($$$) {: my ($exe,$out,$parameters) = @_;
my $TargetName=$Ini{'TARGETNAME'};
my $pwd=getcwd();
my $status=0;

unlink($out);
if(open(OU,">TestRT.cmd")) {
print OU "chdir(\"host:$pwd\");\n";
print OU "ld < $exe\n";
print OU "Tmain()\n";
print OU "quit\n";
close(OU);
SystemP("$ENV{'COMSPEC'} /c start /w windsh.exe $TargetName –s
TestRT.cmd");
} else {
print "Open TestRT.cmd for write\n";
$status=1;
}
return $status;
}

This script writes TestRT.cmd, which contains first a cd to the location where it should be, then dynamically links and loads the executable object file, then starts the execution and then quits.
Finally, it lauches a WindShell tool and executes this TestRT.cmd script.
Highlighted here:

The main has been renamed Tmain.
Since printf is used by the program, the Test RealTime traces will be found in a testrt.ri file mixed with traces that may come via STDOUT from the application. The Perl decoder generates in the $ri file only the lines contained between the ’^’ character, which is defined as a Test RealTime trace identifier.

Example 3: The Single Step example (a breakpoint-mode example)

sub atl_exec ($$$) {

my ( $exe,$out,$parameters)= @_;
my $status=0;

unlink( $out );
unlink(“log.txt”);
copy($exe,”TestRT.elf”);
# Launch SingleStep
$status=SystemP(“simppc $TARGETDIR\\cmd\\TestRT.dbg”);
# Decoding log.txt
if(open(IN,”<log.txt”)) {
if(open(OU,”>$out”)){
while (<IN>) {

s/$/;/; # Add a ; at the end of the line
s/^/\$/; # Add a $ sign in front of the line
eval($_); # Evaluate current line, $atl_buffer now exists in perl !!
print OU $atl_buffer; }

close(OU);
} else {
print ("cannot open file $out");
$status=1;
} else {
print “Error during Execution – log.txt has not been
generated\n”;
$status=1;
}
close(IN);
return $status;

}

The contents of $TARGETDIR/cmd/TestRT.cmd is:

debug TestRT.elf
break -D *
break priv_close -c "exit"
break priv_exit -c "exit"
break priv_writeln -g -c "read atl_buffer >> log.txt"
go
exit

It first downloads the test program on the target, suppresses all predefined breakpoints that would come from previous debugging sessions, then sets a breakpoint in priv_exit and priv_close (when hit, it will terminate the debugging session), and another breakpoint in the priv_writeln function (but continuing the execution automatically after having written the atl_buffer contents into log.txt file). Finally, it starts the execution.

Highlighted here:

A break command specifying a sequence of actions automatically executed when it is reached.

Back to example list

Example 4: The Cosmic-MicSim example (a breakpoint-mode example)
sub atl_exec ($$$) {: my ( $exe,$out,$parameters)= @_;
my $pwd=getcwd();

chdir(“$ENV{’SIMTOOLS’}”); # Required due to MicSim
unlink( $out );
unlink(“testrt.ri”);
copy(“$TARGETDIR\\cmd\\startup.f”,”startup.f”);
SystemP(“$ENV{'COMSPEC'} /c start /w simh08 $exe”);
move(“testrt.ri”,$out) || print “Error during execution – testrt.ri has not been
generated\n”;
chdir($pwd);
return(0);
}

The contents of $TARGETDIR/cmd/startup.f is:: b _priv_writeln {> testrt.ri;"%s" _atl_buffer;>;g}
b _priv_close
b _priv_exit
g
quit

The breakpoint set in priv_close/priv_exit are used to halt the processor at the end of the program.
When the program hits priv_writeln, the contents of atl_buffer will be printed (the added _ is due to the linker) and redirected into testrt.ri file at the same time. The debugger script then starts the execution. Execution stops when priv_close or priv_exit is reached, after which the program quits. No decoding is needed in this particular case. The perl move instruction is sufficient.
Note that no “\n” is used in the print format. Since result lines may be split into 2 different buffers, so the “\n” must not be used to avoid it appearing in the middle of a line. Back to example list

Example 5: The JumpStart example (a breakpoint-mode example)
sub atl_exec ($$$) {: my ( $exe,$out,$parameters)= @_;

unlink($out);
unlink(“log.txt”);
copy($exe,”testrt.axf”);
SystemP(“armsd –script=TestRT.cmd”);
# External binary program to decode hexadecimal to ASCII
decode(“log.txt”,$out);
}
The contents of $TARGETDIR/cmd/TestRT.cmd is:: load testrt.axf
log log.txt
break priv_close do { log; quit; }
break priv_exit do { log; quit; }
break priv_writeln do { examine atl_buffer 1024 ; go }
go

Here the atl_buffer is dump on 1024 bytes only. So the ATL_BUFFER_SIZE must be set to 1024 whatever the value sets by the user settings. To do so write the 1024 in the IO_Settings of the Data Retreival section

The first script command uploads the test program on the target and activates the logging mechanism. Then, breakpoints are set in the priv_exit and priv_close functions. When it is reached, the logging mechanism is stopped and the debugger quits. A third breakpoint is set on priv_writeln. The examine command will dump 1024 bytes, and the following go command will make the execution proceed. The debugger script then starts the execution.

Example 6: The Mitsubishi Emulator (a breakpoint-mode example)
sub atl_exec ($$$) {: my ( $exe,$out,$parameters)= @_;
unlink($out);
unlink(“log.txt”);
copy($exe,”testrt.695”);
SystemP(“pd38 $TARGETDIR/cmd/TestRT.scr”);
# External binary program to decode hexadecimal to ASCII
decode(“log.txt”,$out);
}
The contents of $TARGETDIR/cmd/TestRT.scr is:: map 60,FFFF,int

Base on a debugger script program, this example illustrates the following algorithm:

map: Define memory mapping
loadieee: Load the program to execute
Clear all breakpoints
Set a breakpoint in priv_writeln, priv_close and priv_exit
Reset the processor, start emulation and wait for a break
If the break reached is priv_writeln, it writes into log.txt the value of atl_buffer (128 bytes long in this example) and continues till the next break
This loop goes on untill the break is reached in priv_close or priv_exit.
It then quits the execution.

The results are stored in log.txt, which needs to be decoded from hexadecimal to ASCII before being sent to TestRT report generators. Highlighted here:

The program being executed by the debugger
Set 3 breakpoints in priv_writeln, priv_close and priv_exit.
Run the program, and wait for break state.
Exit when priv_close or priv_exit is reached.
Dump atl_buffer contents when priv_writeln is reached.

Debug mode function

Description:
This Perl function should launch the target system debugger. The goal is to enable the user to interactively debug the test program or the instrumented application.
This function is optional, and it is usually very difficult, unless in a Standard-Mode, to generate the test report while debugging interactively at the same time. Indeed, if the method used to retrieve the value of atl_buffer is based on a debugger script executed in an automated way, user-defined breakpoints may break this automation.
This is not a problem as long as the differences between an interactive debugging session and a batch execution of a test program or of an instrumented application are clear.

Scope: All features
Path: Build Settings > Debug mode function

Prototype:
atl_execdbg($$$)
{: my($exe, $out, $parameters)=@_;
}

Parameter Description:: $exe:; Executable program to execute, or the Jar file if any.; $out:; Intermediate test result file name the execution has to generate; For Java, it contains the Java class containing the main method (to be given to the JVM).; $parameters:; Parameters for the executable, if any.

Return Value:
0 on success
Anything else on error.

Example:
sub atl_execdbg ($$$) {: my ( $exe,$out,$parameters )= @_;
my $TargetName=$Ini{'TARGETNAME'};

unlink(“testrt.ri”);
open (OU,">TestRTd.cmd")||die "Cannot open TestRTd.cmd\n");
print(OU "target wtx $TargetName\n");
print(OU "load out.o\n");
print(OU "b Tmain\n");
print(OU "r Tmain\n");
close(OU);
SystemP(“$ENV{'COMSPEC'} /c start /w gdbsimnt.exe -command
TestRTd.cmd");
unlink("TestRTd.cmd");
print("CAREFUL: No Report in Debug Mode ! \n");
}

This function launches the gdb debugger for the target. When starting, gdb will read commands from TestRT.cmd file, written just before. The execution will start and stop when Tmain is reached. Tmain represents the entry point.

Library Settings
In this section, all the library configuration settings are accessible. For each setting, the Scope field specifies the applicable Test RealTime feature.
Include files visible to all generated files
Scope: Component Testing for C and C++, System Testing

Description:
In this section, enter every #include that must be visible in files generated by the test script compilers.
Default: Empty
Include files or code visible only to the Target Deployment Port
Scope: All features

In this section, enter every #include or C function that must only be visible when compiling the TDP library.
Default: Empty
This is the right place to modify some runtime behaviors as:
For Mempro
#define RTRT_DO_MALLOCH(size) <mallocH> #define RTRT_DO_FREEH(p) <freeH>
Where <mallocH> and freeH are the function returning the pointer to the HASH_table and the function freeing the Hash table. This table is normaly allocated from the heap only once. This can be modify to return the pointer to a static table as:
static void * LocalHashTable[(1<<ATP_HASH_SIZE)]; #define RTRT_DO_MALLOCH(size) LocalHashTable #define RTRT_DO_FREEH(p)
#define RTRT_ATP_STRDUP 0
The runtime provide a strdup for tracking. set this define to 0 for application having its own strdup.
#define ATP_REPORTS_FUM 0
desable the FUM reports.
For Runtime Analysis
#define RTRT_OTHER_THREADS_INSPECTION_FORBIDDEN 0
Memory profiling look for pointer reference in the heap itself then stack then variables. Sometime the stack of other thread cannot be read. So set this define to 0 to avoid other thread stack inspection.
#define RTRT_POST_SIG <callAfunction(...)>
Where <callAfunction(...)> is the function to call with the parameters (signum is the signal number) after the dump and before raising the signal again.
When a signal is raised by the application and the signal is catched by the Tool the _atp_dump_SIG is executed to make a dump of the current call stack of the current active thread. The dump is done after re-set the signal handler and before raising the same signal.
The signals are catched when RTRT_SIGNAL is set to STD or USR. The signals are raised after the dump only if RTRT_SIGNAL is set to STD. So <callAfunction(...)> can be used to make something special if needed.
#define RTRT_NEED_CLOSE_CALL
Using observation tools for C++ application running on RTOS which has no atexit function, the usr_close is not called at the end of the application to get all destructor traces. If defined when RTRT_IO=RTRT_USR, this macro force the runtime to execute the usr_close after the trace dump, when the application execute the main return or the exit function.

RTRT_EXIT
Scope: All features
Values : RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Environmental constraints > exit function availability
Description:
This macro indicates the name of the regular exit function (if any). It is called by the Test RealTime TDP library at the end of any test program, and by runtime observation features in case of a fatal error.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular exit function from the standard C library is used.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_exit function that will be called to terminate the program. The prototype should be:: void usr_exit(RTRT_INT32);
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no specific call is made at the end of the execution.
Default: RTRT_NONE
date function availability
Characterize the date function
RTRT_GET_DATE
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Environmental constraints > date function availability
Description:
This setting indicates wha will be the date string used by the report viewers.
If the value is RTRT_NONE, the host date is written by the tool on the host at split time. This allows to select a result file corresponding to an execution date.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the __DATE__ and __TIME__ are returned. So the runtime compilation date & time are used. This allows to select a result file corresponding to a build.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_date function that will be called to retrieve any string value which will be shown in the report as is. Additional data, as machine name, etc. may be returned by this function. The prototype should be:: char *date();
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no specific call is made.
RTRT_NONE is the most common value for embedded systems.
Default: RTRT_NONE
Init function availability
Characterize the TDP specific initialization
RTRT_TDP_INIT
Scope: All features
Path: Library Settings > Environmental constraints > Init function availability
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no specific call is made. Otherwise this function is called first before any other TDP init functions. This allow to initialize the system if needed or check if the system is ready.
RTRT_NONE is the most common value for host systems.
Default: RTRT_NONE
memcpy function availability
Characterize the memcpy function.
RTRT_MEMCPY
Scope: System Testing, component testing for C, memory profiling
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Environmental constraints > memcpy
Description:
This macro can be used to redefine the memcpy function.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular memcpy function from the standard C library is used.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_memcpy function that will be called to make memory copies. The prototype should be:: void *usr_memcpy(void *dest,const void *src,RTRT_SIZE_T);
If the value is RTRT_NONE, System Testing, component testing for C, and some memory profiling features can not be used.
Default: RTRT_STD

Value: 0 | 1
Path: Library Settings > For Test RealTime System Testing > Socket connection availability > RTRT_SOCK_IPV6
Description:
This macro tells the Test RealTime TDP library witch socket family have to be used on the macihne.
If the value is 1, the standard BSD-socket uses the IPv6 family to connect to the supervision agent for dynamic tracking or standard RENDEZVOUS.
If the value is 0, the old common IPv4 is used.
Default: 0
RTRT_DYNAMIC_TRACKING
Scope: System Testing
Value: 0 | 1
Path: Library Settings > For System Testing > Socket connection availability > RTRT_DYNAMIC_TRACKING
Description:
This macro tells the Test RealTime TDP library whether or not dynamic tracking is available.
If the value is 1, the standard BSD-socket interface is used to send messages back to the host, through the supervision agent.
If the value is 0, dynamic tracking is unavailable.

This macro can be used to redefine the gethostname function.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular gethostname function from the standard C library is used.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_gethostname function that will be called to get the hostname of the current processor. The prototype should be:: void *usr_gethostname(char *p);
where p is a 50 bytes-long array of characters that contains the name of the current processor.
If the value is RTRT_NONE, test reports will not include the name of the processor that executed the test program.
Default: RTRT_NONE
Thread launcher function availability
Characterize the main function launching the System testing VT as threads.
RTRT_ATSMAIN
Scope: System Testing
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > For System Testing > Thread launcher function availability
Description:
When set to RTRT_USR and when the setting “Use TDP thread launcher” is set to Yes and there is no AtsMain.c file available into the TDP lib sub-directory, this function is executed as the main, to start each VT as a thread. The parameters argc and argv are the standard main parameters.
When started using the deployment, 1 parameter is set for each VT and have the format: –THREAD=rioFileName.rio,instanceName,occurenceId
Anyway when the code is generated as threads, a list of VT is generated within the code, as: char * <entryPointName>_Table[]={…..} and the number of VT is accessible as int <entryPointName>_TableLen. These data are directly accessible using the respective macros as ATS_THREAD_TABLE and ATS_THREAD_TABLELEN defined by the products.h which define, as well, the entry point name macro as ATS_THREAD_FUNCTION. In addition atsapi.h declare these symbols as extern to be used directly from the usr_atsmain. See atsapi.h for more details.
Note: if the setting “Use TDP thread launcher” is set to Yes and there is an AtsMain.c file available into the TDP lib sub-directory then the AtsMain.c is compiled and linked as well as the TP.c. So you must set this customization to RTRT_NONE to make sure there is no conflict between this code and the AtsMain.c code.
Note: some AtsMain.c examples are provided into the xml/attolcc directory.
Default: RTRT_STD
RENDEZVOUS function availability
Characterize the RENDEZVOUS function.
RTRT_RDV
Scope: System Testing
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > For System Testing > RENDEZVOUS function availability
Description:
This macro can be used to redefine the rendezvous function.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular rendezvous function is used, based on the standard BSD-socket interface to communicate with the supervision agent.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_rdv function that will be called to implement the RENDEZVOUS instruction. The calling task must block until other participants to this rendezvous arrive. The prototype should be:: int usr_rdv(char *p);
where p contains the name of the rendezvous.
If the value is RTRT_NONE, the RENDEZVOUS instruction is not available. That would be the case if no supervision agent is available.
Default: RTRT_STD
For runtime analysis features
This section is used to configure settings that only apply to the runtime observation features of Rational Test RealTime.
Initialized global variable support and checks
These settings indicates whether initialized global variables are allowed and recognized and when variables stored in stack must be checked before use.
RTRT_VARIABLE_INIT_SUPPORTED
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > Initialized global variable support and checks > RTRT_VARIABLE_INIT_SUPPORTED
Description:
Set to 1 if the expression “int x=9;”, where x is a global variable, is supported. Set to 0 if not. When the compiler does not allow the initialization of global variables, the runtime observation features will assume a number of global variables have been set to 0.
So if the compiler/linker or the application itself forbids the use of initialized global variables, set RTRT_VARIABLE_INIT_SUPPORTED to 0 and clear the RAM before entering the main (can be accomplished though the use of an additional debugger command or by a modification of the startup code).
Default: 1
RTRT_CHECK_STACK
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features except code coverage
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > Initialized global variable support and checks > RTRT_CHECK_STACK
Description:
Set to 1 if the variables stored in the stack may be corrupted at any time. So, if set to 1, the call stack structures stored into the stack include check values which is checked before use.
Default: 0
Note: usefull when the stack size could be not enough or interrupt may corrupt the current thread stack
RTRT_RAM_SET_RANDOMLY
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > Initialized global variable support and checks > RTRT_RAM_SET_RAMDOMLY
Description:
Define this macro to 1, if Global initialization of static variables is NOT allowed (c.f. RTRT_VARIABLE_INIT_SUPPORTED, and all memory cannot be zeroed at start.
This define is used only if the RTRT_VARIABLE_INIT_SUPPORTED is set to 0.
Default: 0
RTRT_RAM_CLEAN
Scope: All Features
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > Initialized global variable support and checks > RTRT_RAM_CLEAN
Description:
Define this macro to 1, if the RAM is all set to 0 at start. It avoids to set all Global and static variables to 0 at run time, taking less code and less cpu time for the runtime initialization.
Default: 0
atexit function availability
Characterize the atexit function.
RTRT_ATEXIT
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features
Values : RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > atexit function availability
Description:
This macro indicates if it is possible to register a function to be called at normal program termination. This is used by the runtime observation features to insert a trace dump before the program terminates.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the Test RealTime TDP library will use the regular atexit function from the standard C library.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_atexit function that will be called to register a function at normal program termination. The prototype should be:: int usr_atexit(void (*)(void));
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no function call will be registered before the end (if any) of the program. As a consequence:

Any Object Testing test program may lose observation results of the tested code concerning destructors implicitly called after the last instruction of the test program, unless such destructors are modified by inserting an explicit trace dump (a call to _atl_obstools_dump(1)).
For a standalone application that never terminates, the user should refer to the discussion in the Rational Test RealTime User Guide about obtaining a trace dump.

Default: RTRT_NONE
getenv function availability
Characterize the getenv function
RTRT_GETENV
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > getenv function availability
Description:
This macro indicates whether embedded environment variables exist and, if so, how they are accessed.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular getenv function from the standard C library is used.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_getenv function that will be called to retrieve any value from the environment. The prototype should be:: char *getenv(char *);
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no specific call is made. This would mean that the target environment does not allow any environment variables. If this is the case, any mechanism based on environment variables can not be used. Though access to environment variables is not required, access would enable features such as specifying the trace file name in an environment variable before launching the program.
RTRT_NONE is the most common value for embedded systems.
Default: RTRT_NONE
getpid function availablility
Characterize the get_pid function
RTRT_GETPID
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > getpid function availablility
Description:
This macro is used to obtain the identifier of the calling process.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular get_pid function from the standard C library is used.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_get_pid function that will be called to retrieve the process ID. The prototype should be:: int getpid();
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no specific call is made. This would mean that the instrumented process may have problem, to write the result file, when it create new processes using the same instrumented code (fork). If this is the case, any mechanism based on counter variables giving one number for each process can not be used. Though access to the process ID is not required, access would enable features such as Runtime Analysis on code using fork.
RTRT_NONE is the most common value for embedded systems.
Default: RTRT_NONE
signal function availability
Characterize the signal function
RTRT_SIGNAL
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features and System Testing
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > signal function availability
Description:
This macro indicates whether the target has a signaling feature and, if it does, how to call it.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular signal function from the standard C library is used.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_signal function that will be called to register a signal handler. The prototype should be:: void usr_signal(int,void (*)(int));
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no specific call is made. This would signify that the target environment does not allow any signaling features. If this is the case, any mechanism based on signals can not be used. Though signalling is not required, it enables features such as starting/stopping Runtime Tracing on the reception of an asynchronous signal.
RTRT_NONE is the most common value for embedded systems.
Default: RTRT_NONE
RTRT_POST_SIG
This macro is executed at the end of the TestRT signal Handler before raising the signal again. It can be used to call a function.
longjmp availability and tracking
Characterize the longjmp function
RTRT_LONGJMP
Scope: Runtime Tracing, Performance Profiling and Memory Profiling
Value: RTRT_NONE | RTRT_USR
Path: Library Settings > For runtime analysis features > longjmp availability and tracking
Default: RTRT_USR
Description:
This macro indicates whether the target has a longjmp availability. The runtime analysis feature need to track the call of the longjmp function, because it causes a break in the stack flow, which needs to be understood to present consistent results.
Set this macro to RTRT_NONE if your target development environment does not allow setjmp/longjmp function, or if the instrumented application does not use these functions.
Set this macro to RTRT_USR if the application uses such calls.
Automated custom tab
The longjmp customization is mandatory as soon as the instrumented application use the setjmp/longjmp function to jump from a sub function to one of the caller level. This customization help to keep updated the call stack which is mandatory for the profiling features. The goal of this customization is to recover the call stack at the setjmp point when the code execute the longjmp.
There is now 3 tabs The first one is new since 7.5, 2 other are kept for regression but should not be used anymore except if the new one cannot make the job properly. To other tabs are disabled as soon as the SETJUMP_FCTNAMES and LONGJUMP_FCTNAMES are both checked. the new customization use the address of the ‘env’ memory block as an index to memorize the call stack at setjmp time and recover this call stack when the longjmp is executed. The runtime is able to memorize until 10 couples of env/callStack. If the application uses more than 10 at the same time this size can be changed thanks to the macro RTRT_NB_SET_JMP.
SETJUMP_FCTNAMES
Description:
When set, this field defines all setjmp functions to be wrapped separated by semicolon ‘;’. When listed functions are defined without arguments they are assumed to be (env) and (env,sig) for any sigsetjmp.
Example: #define RTRT_setjmp(env) (_atl_ext_stack_set((void*)&ATL_STACKLINK,(void*)env),setjmp(env)) //is generated in the custom.h and #pragma attol prefix_call "RTRT_" = "setjmp" in the ana files for the setjmp function name
LONGJUMP_FCTNAMES
Description:
When set, this field defines all longjmp functions to be wrapped separated by semicolon ‘;’. When listed functions are defined without arguments they are assumed to be (env,ret).
Example: #define RTRT_longjmp(env,ret) (_atl_ext_stack_jump((void*)env, STACK_USE_ENV),longjmp(env,ret))//is generated in the custom.h and #pragma attol prefix_call "RTRT_" = "longjmp" in the ana files for the longjmp function name
Note: _atl_ext_stack_set and _atl_ext_stack_jump are equivalent to _atl_stack_set and _atl_stack_jump respectively. But they are accessible from the instrumented code (outside the runtime). So if the macro call the function from the code the _ext one must be called.
Longjmp function and macro definition tabs
If the automated custom cannot work for your target you can use this tab to define the longjmp function which have to recover the stack pointer at the setjmp level and call the _atl_stack_jump function with this stack pointer value:

Recode the ATL_lonjmp function with the right prototype:
For example:
#define STACK_GOING_UP 0
#define STACK_GOING_DOWN 1
void ATL_longjmp(jmp_buf env,int ret) {
_atl_stack_jump((void *)(env[4]),STACK_GOING_DOWN); /* example for windows */
longjmp(env,ret);
}
_atl_stack_jump must be called with the following parameters:
- Address of the stack register, contained in the env parameter
- 0 or 1 whether the stack pointer increases or decreases when some parameters are pushed.
Redefine longjmp to ATL_longjmp. For example:
#define longjmp ATL_longjmp

Note: The content of the Longjump function tab is part of the TDP. So here _atl_stack_jump is used instead of _atl_ext_stack_jump because the call is done from the TDP itself. In the contrary the content of the macro definition tab is part of the instrumented code and any direct call to _atl_stack_xxx must be done as _atl_ext_stack_xxx.

If set to 1, the host machine must decode these hexadecimal values and convert them into their string representation. Note: Since the floating-point number representation on the host may be different from the target representation, the decoder must be adapted to the target’s representation.
Default: 0
RTRT_NBDIGITS_FLT
Scope: Component Testing for C, C++
Path: Library Settings > For testing features > Floating point number support > RTRT_NBDIGITS_FLT
Description:

Data retrieval and Error message output
This section focuses on data retrieval functions IO settings and on error output functions.
IO Settings
Characterize the result dump function.
ATL_OBSTOOLS_FINISHED
Scope: All features
Path: Library Settings > Data retrieval and Error message output > IO Settings > ATL_OBSTOOLS_FINISHED
Description:
This macro provides the function to call at the end of the dump.
RTRT_BUFFER_SIZE
Scope: All features
Path: Library Settings > Data retrieval and Error message output > IO Settings > RTRT_BUFFER_SIZE
Description:
When set, this macro override the buffer size defined by the studio settings.
It must be used when the dump is done using a debugger macro command dumping a fixed size.
If set, the size value is set in the Basic setting RTRT_BUFFER_SIZE as well in order to be used in any build function if required. This could lead to change the compilation or execution way in accordance with the used IO methodes.
RTRT_INIT_MODE
Scope: All features
Path: Library Settings > Data retrieval and Error message output > IO Settings > RTRT_INIT_MODE
Description:
When set, this macro override the open mode used to open the result file at init time.
Default: “w”
RTRT_OPEN_MODE
Scope: All features
Path: Library Settings > Data retrieval and Error message output > IO Settings > RTRT_OPEN_MODE
Description:
When set, this macro override the open mode used to open the result file at open time.
Default: “a”
Data retrieval
Characterize the data retrieval function.
These functions are used by the executable to write the result data generated by the application. They are similar to open a connection or file then write the result ASCII buffer then close the connection or file.
RTRT_IO
Scope: All features
Values : RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Data retrieval and Error message output > Data retrieval
Description:
This macro indicates the way ASCII outputs will be performed.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular fopen/fprintf/fclose functions from the standard C library are used.
If the value is RTRT_NONE or RTRT_USR, the Basic setting RTRT_IO will be set to “NONE” or “USR” in order to be checked in any build function if required. This could lead to change the compilation or execution way in accordance with the used IO methodes.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_init/usr_open/usr_close/usr_writeln functions that will be called to make IO. Their prototypes should be:: #define RTRT_FILE_TYPE <NewType>
RTRT_FILE_TYPE usr_init(char *);
RTRT_FILE_TYPE usr_open(char *);
void usr_writeln(RTRT_FILE_TYPE,char *);
void usr_close(RTRT_FILE_TYPE);
Either usr_init or usr_open or both may open the result file. usr_open is called only if either usr_init return 0 or if the file has been close. That configuration allow to open the result file just before the write and force the close when the dump is finished.(see _atl_obstools_dump_finished)
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no specific code exists. In this case, uploading the traces should be made by a debugger. See discussion on ”Data Retrieval”. Here are the list of ’breakable’ functions:: priv_writeln Action is to dump the atl_buffer to a log file
priv_close – Action is to Closes the file then quit the debugger
priv_exit – Exit point of a test program when fatal error occurs Same action as for priv_close
priv_init – is called to Opens the resultfile at initialization time (no Action)
_atl_obstools_dump_finished – End the runtime observation features dump process (no action)
Component Testing features: When the test program starts on the entry point, (main or anything else declared by RTRT_MAIN_HEADER), it will first hit the priv_init function. Then, it will call priv_writeln one or several times. When hit, the debugger should log the value of atl_buffer (ATL_BUFFER_SIZE is set by the Test RealTime user interface and is accessible in the Perl scripts via $ATL_BUFFER_SIZE). Then, continuing, the test program will hit priv_close or priv_exit, which indicates the end of the program. All these functions can be used by debugger scripts in order to run corresponding actions.
StandAlone Instrumented Application: When the dump-point is hit, a call to _atl_obstools_dump(int what) is made (either due to a manual modification of the code or due to an instrumentation option (-dumpincoming, -dumpreturning or -dumpcalling). When called, this function will call priv_open if the result file is not yet open, then will call the priv_writeln function one or several times. When hit, the debugger should dump the value of the atl_buffer into a file (ATL_BUFFER_SIZE is set by the Test RealTime user interface). Then continuing, the program will finaly call _atl_obstools_dump_finished, indicating the dump process has terminated. The body of this procedure may be customized when necessary using the macro ATL_OBSTOOLS_FINISHED. The application will then continue. This dump process may take more time than a regular event. As a result, if watchdogs are active, you may choose to deactivate them, or acknowledge them during the dump process. To do this, set RTRT_IO to RTRT_USR, and in the usr_writeln function (the one which is called the most often), add a call to your watchdog acknowledgment function.: priv_init – Opens the resultfile at initialization time
priv_open – Opens the resultfile before calling priv_writeln, if the file is not yet open or if it as been closed
priv_writeln - Retrieve the atl_buffer variable
priv_close – Closes the file
priv_exit – Exit point of a test program when fatal error occurs.
Default: RTRT_STD
Example 1: socket connection
usr_init(char *fileName)
{ // return 0 to open the file later: #define RTRT_FILENAME_NOT_USED /* this won’t generate code for file name */
Return(0);
}
usr_open(char *fileName)
{: RTRT_FILE_TYPE local_id;
unsigned char hostaddress[]={ATL_TRACES_FILE_ADDRESS_NS};
struct sockaddr_in local_mbx;
int ret;
memset ((void *) &local_mbx, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
memcpy ((void *) &local_mbx.sin_addr, hostaddress, sizeof(hostaddress));
local_mbx.sin_family = AF_INET;
local_mbx.sin_port = (unsigned short)(htons(ATL_TRACES_FILE_PORT));
/* Create a new socket */
local_id = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
if (local_id<0) return(0);
/* Connect it to the Server port */
ret = connect(local_id, (struct sockaddr *)&local_mbx, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
if (ret!=0) return(0);
/* Stores the new socket in the id parameter */
return(local_id);
}
usr_writeln(f,char *s)
{
send(f, s, strlen(s),0);
}
usr_close(f)
{
/* wait a while then close connection */ close(f); /* then wait a while to end */ } Note : the RTRT_FILE_TYPE is generaly an “int”. For trtpd socket uploader RTRT_LINE_SPLIT_MARKER_xxx must be set to “^”. ATL_TRACES_FILE_ADDRESS and ATL_TRACES_FILE_PORT are automatically set to the “address” and “socket uploader port” fields of the project settings ->Host Configuration.
Using attolcc launcher these settings may be forced using the notation –-ADDRESS=”192.168.1.100” --UPLOADER_PORT=7777
Note: Using attolcc launcher the trtpd listener must be launched manually before the execution.
ATL_TRACES_FILE_ADDRESS_NS is a 4 char array format of the “address”. It is set as well.
To have socket available the following include must generaly be listed in the “Include files or code visible only to the Target Deployment Port” part of the TDP:
#include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/time.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <netinet/in.h> #include <signal.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <netdb.h>
Note: the SOCKET UPLOADER may be used to record result files

RTRT_LINE_SPLIT_MARKER
Scope: All features
Value: Any specific characters
Path: Library Settings > Data retrieval and Error message output > Data retrieval > Settings
Description:
If defined, for example, to “@myBuffer@”, the sequence of characters will be added in front and at the end of each trace dump. See discussion on “Data Retrieval” for details on the dump algorithm. The trtpd SOCKET UPLOADER use the character “^” as delimiters for BEGIN and END Example: #define RTRT_LINE_SPLIT_MARKER_BEGIN “^” #define RTRT_LINE_SPLIT_MARKER_END “^”
Default: Not defined
Error message output
Characterize the runtime error message output function.
RTRT_ERROR
Scope: All features
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Data retrieval and Error message output > Error message output
Description:
This macro indicates what to do with runtime errors.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular perror function from the standard C library is used.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_error function that will be called to output an error string message. The prototype should be:: void usr_error(const char *);
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no error message will be printed. Though not required, it is understandably useful to track runtime errors.
This RTRT_NONE value is the typical option for embedded systems.
Default: RTRT_NONE
Heap management configuration
This section characterizes the allocation and free function, and allows their override by the Test RealTime TDP library. In addition, you can define non-standard functions for Memory Profiling monitoring.
Scope: Memory profiling
Heap Settings
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings
Setting tab allows customize some tracking performance points:
ATP_HASH_SIZE
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > ATP_HASH_SIZE
The Hash table is used to find as fast as possible the data about memory block from his pointer. More the table is big fast is the research. The size of the table is 2 ^ ATP_HASH_SIZE * sizeof(void*). The value used for host application is 12
ATP_RED_ZONE_HEAD_SIZE
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > ATP_RED_ZONE_HEAD_SIZE
To allows ABWL detection, memory profiling add a little more memory around the block being returned back to the application. We call this extra memory Red-Zones, and it is located at the beginning and end of the allocated blocks. This setting Allows to overwrite the length of the Head red-zone whatever the value set by the GUI. It is usually set to 0 when RTOS use the memory above the block to store data that can be used by other functions.
ATP_RED_ZONE_TAIL_SIZE
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > ATP_RED_ZONE_TAIL_SIZE
This setting Allows to overwrite the length of the Head red-zone whatever the value set by the GUI.
RTRT_THROWING_EXCEPTION
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > RTRT_THROWING_EXCEPTION
#define RTRT_THROWING_EXCEPTION <throw>
Where <throw> is the exception class specified by the original prototype. this macro is used by the _atp_malloc, _atp_calloc, _atp_realloc, _atp_free and fileno. So, look at the prototype declarations to check if any throwing exception is specified and use the same for <throw> value. e.g. if the malloc prototype is: void * malloc(size_t) __THROW; then use __THROW as <throw> value.
RTRT_ATP_API_REALLOC
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > RTRT_ATP_API_REALLOC
When checked, the runtime involve the code corresponding to _PurifyLT_API_BEFORE_REALLOC code as part of the _PurifyLTHeapAction function. So it check corruption on the current memory block and supress tracking data.
RTRT_ATP_API_CHECK
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > RTRT_ATP_API_CHECK
When checked, the runtime involve the code corresponding to _PurifyLT_API_CHECK code as part of the _PurifyLTHeapAction function. So it only check corruption on the current memory block. In this case delayed_free parameter set to 0 means check FFM&FUM as for a free.
RTRT_ATP_API_RESIZE
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > RTRT_ATP_API_RESIZE
When checked, the runtime involve the code corresponding to _PurifyLT_API_RESIZE code as part of the _PurifyLTHeapAction function. So it ReInitialize red zone and update tracking data.
RTRT_ATP_API_TRACK
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > RTRT_ATP_API_TRACK
When checked, the runtime involve the code corresponding to _PurifyLT_API_TRACK code as part of the _PurifyLTHeapAction function. So it allows to track already allocated memory block. These memory block have no space dedicated to ABWL and so are not checked aginst ABWL corruptions.
ATP_CLEAN
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > ATP_CLEAN
Some RTOS crach the application if all the heap has not been released at the end. This setting request the runtime to release all old memory blocks before exiting.
RTRT_NO_HOOK_GUARD
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Heap Settings > RTRT_NO_HOOK_GUARD
The runtime is protected against the recursive call to the memory tracking. This protection may be removed.

malloc/free function availability
Characterize the memory allocation and free functions.
RTRT_HEAP
Scope: Memory Profiling, System Testing (mode –thread –alloc=dynamic), performance profiling (dynamic table), code coverage (dynamic table),
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > malloc/free function availability
Description:
Default: RTRT_STD
This macro indicates if the standard malloc and free functions are available (RTRT_STD), if there are operating system or user defined allocation functions available which are non-standard (RTRT_USR) or if dynamic memory allocation is prohibited on the target (RTRT_NONE).
If the value is RTRT_STD, the standard malloc and free functions will be called by both Memory Profiling and System Testing. Calls to such functions will also be tracked by Memory Profiling.
If the value is RTRT_NONE, the Basic setting ATPMODE=0 will set in the .ini file to disable the Memory profiling feature for this TDP.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_malloc and usr_free functions that will be called to allocate and free memory. Their prototypes should be:: void *usr_malloc(RTRT_SIZE_T);
void usr_free(void *ptr);
Memory Profiling use the heap for internal use. The usr_malloc is only used to get memory for internal use.These memory blocks will be released using the usr_free function. Using FFM/FMWL the RTRT_DO_FREEM is used to free the memory allocated by the application. For the best cutomization RTRT_DO_FREE[BFHM] and RTRT_DO_MALLOC[BFH] may be redefined.
If the value is RTRT_NONE, Memory Profiling and System Testing with the option (-thread -alloc=dynamic) are not available.
Standard memory functions override
This setting enables the override of the standard memory functions.
RTRT_LOWLEVEL_MEMLIB
Scope: Memory Profiling
Value: RTRT_USR | RTR_NONE
Default: RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Standard memory functions override
Description:
Only significant if RTRT_HEAP is set to RTRT_STD.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the Test RealTime TDP library overrides the standard memory allocation functions malloc-calloc-realloc-free. As a consequence, all calls to these functions throughout the whole application will be tracked, even those from third-party libraries. If the value is RTRT_NONE, only calls to the standard allocation functions within instrumented files will be tracked. Please take note of the following about the value RTRT_USR:
1 - Some linkers do not allow this level and may complain about multiple definitions for the same symbols of these functions (malloc-realloc-calloc-free).
2 – In these redefined functions contained in the Test RealTime TDP library, calls to the real low-level memory management functions needs to be made. For example, Linux/Suse implements malloc/free based on __libc_malloc and on __libc_free. It is not difficult to redefine malloc as a call to the real __libc_malloc. To identify these low level function, nm can be used for example.
So if the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the lowlevel_ allocation functions. Their prototypes must be:: void *lowlevel_malloc(RTRT_SIZE_T);
void lowleve_free(void *);
void *lowlevel_calloc(RTRT_SIZE_T,RTRT_SIZE_T);
void *lowlevel_realloc(void *,RTRT_SIZE_T);
Example: void *lowlevel_malloc(RTRT_SIZE_T) { return((void *)(__libc_malloc((size_t)s)); }
If the value is RTRT_NONE, only calls to the standard allocation functions contained in instrumented file will be tracked.
Tracking user-defined or OS-dependent memory functions
This section explains how to track the usage of non-standard memory management functions. These functions may be either system calls or user-defined.
RTRT_MEMLIB_EXTENSION
Scope: Memory Profiling
Value : RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Default: RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Tracking user-defined or OS-dependent memory functions
Description:
If the value of RTRT_HEAP is RTRT_STD or RTRT_USR, this macro can be used to have Memory Profiling check the use of any user-coded or OS-provided memory functions (in addition to the check already made on the standard malloc-calloc-realloc-free functions if the value of RTRT_HEAP is RTRT_STD).
Concerning user-coded memory functions, nothing specific is to be made in the Target Deployment Port configuration. To have Memory Profiling check the use of such routines, the user must modify the original source code, as described in detail in “Test RealTime User Guide”.

Concerning OS-provided memory functions, which are not malloc-free and which have their own prototypes, the user does not have the corresponding source code. As a consequence, instead of modifying source code, you must write an extra-function for each original memory function you wish to track. For example, if you want to track the following OS-provided allocation function modify the Memory function extensions tab as follow:

void *OsMemAlloc(PART_ID id,unsigned size);
you must do the followings:

Define the same functions, with the same prototypes, but named with a prefix (e.g RTRT_):

void *RTRT_OsMemAlloc(PART_ID id,unsigned size) {
void *p, *ptr;
unsigned x;
x=_PurifyLTHeapActualSize(size); /* Enter Memory Profiling */
p=OsMemAlloc(id,x); /* Really do the allocation */
/* Register the newly allocated pointer to Memory Profiling */
ptr = _PurifyLTHeapAction(_PurifyLT_API_ALLOC,p,size,0);
return(ptr);
}
This function gets a new size to be allocated (slightly increased), calls the real OS-provided allocation function asking for this newSize, and registers the obtained pointer to Memory Profiling with the original size.
For the Free function: there are 3 possible ways

void __cdecl RTRT_free(void *ptr)
{/* the tool does not free the block because usr_free cannot

be used to free the application memory block */
free ( (void*)_PurifyLTHeapAction( _PurifyLT_API_FREE, ptr, 0, _PurifyLT_NO_DELAYED_FREE ));

}

or

void __cdecl RTRT_free(void *ptr)
{
/* the tool will free the block only if the free can be delayed.The return value provide the pointer to be freed if the block free cannot be delayed */

void p;
p= (void*)_PurifyLTHeapAction( _PurifyLT_API_FREE, ptr, 0, _PurifyLT_DELAYED_FREE );
if (p != 0) free(p);

}

or

void __cdecl RTRT_free(void *ptr)
{/* the tool will free the block immediately or later if the block free can be delayed */

_PurifyLTHeapAction( _PurifyLT_API_FREE, ptr, 0, _PurifyLT_DO_FREE );

}

As defined in the atpapi.h the last parameter can take 3 values:
0 means the free is never delayed and the free should follow the PurifyLTHeapAction call.
1 means the free can be delayed when ATP_REPORTS_FFM_FMWL is set to 1 to enable the tool to provide the FFM & FMWL detection. So the free have to be done only if the return value is not 0.
BE CAREFUL: in that case, the free must be part of the RTRT_OsMemFree when the return value is not set to 0, like:
Void RTRT_OsMemFree(void*ptr) {
void * p=PurifyLTHeapAction(_PurifyLT_API_FREE,ptr,0, _PurifyLT_DO_FREE);
If(p) OsMemFree(void*p);
}
BE CAREFUL: this, can be done only if the memory block can be freed using the TDP usr_free or standard free function.
2 means the PurifyLTHeapAction routine will free the block later, or immediately in accordance with the ATP_REPORTS_FFM_FMWL setting.
So, the RTRT_OsMemFree only call the PurifyLTHeapAction and do not need to free the memory block.
BE CAREFUL: this, can be done only if the memory block can be freed using the TDP usr_free or standard free function.
Refer to “Test RealTime User Guide” for details on _PurifyLTHeap functions and on how to adapt memory free functions. In short, the user must specify the action made (allocation, free or realloc) and give the pointers and sizes to Memory Profiling.
For application using a free function requiring additional parameters the FFM/FMWL feature are only possible if the the macro RTRT_DO_FREEM,and RTRT_FREE_PARAM are defined.
Example for application using free prototype as:

void Memfree(void* ptr, void* Handler, int Zone);
#define RTRT_FREE_PARAM 1
#define RTRT_DO_FREEM(ptr,v,d) Memfree(ptr, v->Handler, v->Zone)
typedef struct {

void*Handler; int Zone;

} _freeParam;
RTRT_Memfree(void* ptr, void* Handler, int Zone)
{
_freeParam p;
p.Handler=Handler;p.Zone=Zone;
_PurifyLTHeapDelayedFree (ptr,&p);
}

Redefine in the Macro Redefinition tab, any call to OsMemAlloc into a call to RTRT_OsMemAlloc as:
#define OsMemAlloc RTRT_OsMemMalloc
#define OsMemFree RTRT_OsMemFree
If these defines cannot be done, for any reason, use the pragma attol prefix_call parser functionality.

Tracking user-defined new and delete
Path: Library Settings > Heap management configuration > Tracking user-defined or OS-dependent memory functions
Description:
By default the standard new and delete are defined in the runtime to be able to wrap any call to the standard new and delete operators, even if the call is made by an uninstrumented code. If these operators are not properly defined they can be redefined in the TDP via the User-defined extra code part of the TDP.
The default one is:
#define RTRT_DEFINE_NEW_DELETE \ void *operator new ( RTRT_SIZE_T size ) RTRT_NEW_THROW \ { return _atp_alloc ( size ,1);} \ void *operator new[] ( RTRT_SIZE_T size ) RTRT_NEW_THROW \ { return _atp_alloc ( size ,2); } \ void operator delete ( void *ptr ) RTRT_DELETE_THROW \ { _atp_freeT ( ptr,1); } \ void operator delete[] ( void *ptr ) RTRT_DELETE_THROW \ { _atp_freeT ( ptr,2); }
where RTRT_DELETE_THROW is defined to RTRT_NEW_THROW as default, and RTRT_NEW_THROW is defined to RTRT_THROWING_EXCEPTION as default, and RTRT_THROWING_EXCEPTION is defined to nothing as default.
Nevertheless each of these macros can be redefined in the TDP via the User-defined extra code part of the TDP to fit your standard operator declaration.
It could be usefull for some OS to define the new and delete as inline methode (see RTRT_NEW_INLINE). This will impact only instrumented files instead of the complete application and may avoid conflict problems at link time if an other operator is already defined.
The new and delete can be defined as inline methode by ading the line: #define RTRT_NEW_DELETE_INLINE in the User-defined extra code par of the TDP.
Defining RTRT_NEW_DELETE_INLINE leads to disable the RTRT_DEFINE_NEW_DELETE macro in the runtime and activate the inline methode defined by the RTRT_INLINE_NEW_DELETE macro. If this macro does not fit your operator prototypes it can be redefined via the User-defined extra code part of the TDP.
The default one is:
#define RTRT_INLINE_NEW_DELETE\ inline void *operator new ( RTRT_SIZE_T size ) RTRT_NEW_THROW \ { return _atp_alloc ( size ,1);} \ inline void *operator new[] ( RTRT_SIZE_T size ) RTRT_NEW_THROW \ { return _atp_alloc ( size ,2); } \ inline void operator delete ( void *ptr ) RTRT_DELETE_THROW \ { _atp_freeT ( ptr,1); } \ inline void operator delete[] ( void *ptr ) RTRT_DELETE_THROW \ { _atp_freeT ( ptr,2); }

Clock interface
Use this section to define your target’s clock interface.
RTRT_CLOCK
Scope: Component Testing for C, System Testing, Runtime Tracing, Performance Profiling
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
This macro is used to define how to read a clock value.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular gettimeofday/QueryPerformanceCounter getrusage/clock (depending Unix/Win32) functions are used.
If the value is RTRT_NONE, the Basic setting ATQMODE=0 will set in the .ini file to disable the performance profiling feature for this TDP.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_clock and usr_clock_init functions and to customize all the other macros of this section. usr_clock will be called to get a clock value. The prototype of the usr_clock function should be:: #define RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE RTRT_U_INT32
void usr_clock(RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE *p);
where p should be returned containing the current value of the clock. usr_clock_initis called at the very beginning of the program.: void usr_clock_init(void);
This function can be used for example to compute the clock-resolution, store it in a variable (declared in the section Library Settings::Include file or code visible only to the Target Deployment Port) and use it in the following macros (converting ticks in us for instance).
Concerning usr_clock function, the user has the choice to use either a system clock or a process clock. This setting is to be made in the Test RealTime user interface (Settings->Build->Target Deployment Port Settings->Measure time used by). While the system clock returns the real time spent, the process clock return values on a per-process or a per-task basis. If available on the target, the macro ATL_CLOCK_KIND (valued to ATL_PROCESS_CLOCK or ATL_OS_CLOCK) can be used in the code of usr_clock. For example:: #if _CLOCK_KIND == ATL_OS_CLOCK
#define RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE system_clock_t
#elif ATL_CLOCK_KIND == ATL_PROCESS_CLOCK
#define RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE task_clock_t
#endif; void usr_clock(RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE *p) {
#if ATL_CLOCK_KIND == ATL_OS_CLOCK
read_system_clock(p); /* Transfer the system clock value into p*/
#elif ATL_CLOCK_KIND == ATL_PROCESS_CLOCK
read_task_clock(p); /* Transfer the task clock value into p */
#endif
}
If the value is RTRT_NONE, no clock is available. As a consequence, Runtime Tracing would not be able to make any timestamps on messages, Component Testing for C will not be able to report the amount of time spent in tested code, and System Testing and Performance Profiling will not be available at all.
Default: RTRT_NONE
RTRT_ATU_DELAY
Scope: Component testing for C only
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Unit Type > RTRT_ATU_DELAY
Description:
This value is substracted to the mesured execution time. It should be the execution time spent by the TestRT runtime before and after the execution of the code under test.
RTRT_UNIT_TYPE
Scope: Component Testing for C, Runtime Tracing, Performance Profiling
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Unit Type > RTRT_UNIT_TYPE
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain a large integer type, set to the same precision as a RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE item.
Note: This type must be based on a scalar integer type.
If RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE is itself based on an integer type, RTRT_UNIT_TYPE can be defined to RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE. In case RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE is a structure (based, for example, on seconds/microseconds), RTRT_UNIT_TYPE could be a 64-bit integer, enabling storage to the same precision. If it is not possible to obtain the same precision in RTRT_UNIT_TYPE as in RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE, the global precision shown in reports will be degraded. For example:
#define RTRT_UNIT_TYPE int64
Default: RTRT_U_INT32 if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR.
RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_SIZE
Scope: Runtime Tracing, Performance Profiling
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Unit Type > RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_SIZE
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain the size in bytes of a RTRT_UNIT_TYPE item. For example, if RTRT_UNIT_TYPE is defined to an 64-bit integer,: #define RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_SIZE 8
Default: 4 if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR.
RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_NAME
Scope: Runtime Tracing, Performance Profiling
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Unit Type > RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_NAME
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain a string indicating the unit of a RTRT_UNIT_TYPE item.
This string indicates the unit. So it should be set to “h”, “mn”, “s”, ”ms”, “us”, “ns”, or “ps” to use known unit.
If the time provided by the target is not a known unit, the string is printed in reports. As a consequence, it should not be too long, especially for a UML Runtime Tracing report.
Example:: #define RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_NAME “c”
would be prefered over: #define RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_NAME “cycles”
RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_FORMAT
Scope: Component Testing for C
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Unit Type > RTRT_UNIT_TYPE_FORMAT
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain a string containing a character indicating the unit of a RTRT_UNIT_TYPE item.
“0” represents milliseconds
“1” represents microseconds
“2” represents the number of processor cycles
“3” represents system clock information
“4” represents nanoseconds
This number will be used to print the desired unit in the Component Testing for C test reports. Example:: #define RTRT_ UNIT_TYPE_FORMAT “0”
Default: “3” if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR.
RTRT_CLOCK_TO_UNITS(c)
Scope: Component Testing for C, Runtime Tracing, Performance Profiling
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Unit Type > RTRT_CLOCK_TO_UNITS
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain C-code converting a RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE item into a RTRT_UNIT_TYPE item. For example, if RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE is based on a structure containing seconds and microseconds, this macro (an RTRT_UNIT_TYPE item) could represent microseconds:: #define RTRT_UNIT_TYPE int64
#define RTRT_CLOCK_TO_UNITS(c) ((c.secs*1000000)+c.msecs)
Default: c, if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR. By default, this macro returns its argument, as both RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE and RTRT_UNIT_TYPE are RTRT_U_INT32 in the default mode.
System Testing
RTRT_CLOCK_DIFF(r,a,b)
Scope: System Testing
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Time Type - System Testing > RTRT_CLOCK_DIFF
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain C-code storing in r the value of (a-b).
r, a and b are RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE items.
Example:: #define RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE int
#define RTRT_CLOCK_DIFF(r,a,b) ((r)=(a)-(b))
Default: ((r)=(a)-(b)), if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR. By default, this macro returns the difference between two RTRT_U_INT32 numbers as RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE is RTRT_U_INT32 in the default mode.
RTRT_TIME_TYPE
Scope: System Testing
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Time Type - System Testing > RTRT_TIME_TYPE
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this type definition must contain an integer type, enabling the storage of durations and time representations. A 32-bit integer is sufficient as a RTRT_TIME_TYPE does not need to be as precise as RTRT_UNIT_TYPE (this is due to System Testing specifics).
Note: This type must be based on a scalar integer type.
For example:: #define RTRT_TIME_TYPE RTRT_U_INT32
Default: RTRT_U_INT32, if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR.
RTRT_TIME_TYPE_FORMAT
Scope: System Testing
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Time Type - System Testing > RTRT_TIME_TYPE_FORMAT
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain a string containing a character indicating the unit of a RTRT_TIME_TYPE item.
0 represents milliseconds
1 represents microseconds
2 represents the number of processor cycles
3 represents system clock information
This number will be used to print the desired unit in a System Testing test report. Example:: #define RTRT_TIME_TYPE_FORMAT “0”
Default: “3” if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR.
RTRT_CLOCK_TO_TIME(c)
Scope: System Testing
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Time Type - System Testing > RTRT_CLOCK_TO_TIME
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain C-code that converts a RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE item into a RTRT_TIME_TYPE item. For example, if RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE is based on a structure containing seconds and microseconds this macro (an RTRT_TIME_TYPE item) could represent milliseconds:: #define RTRT_TIME_TYPE RTRT_U_INT32
#define RTRT_CLOCK_TO_TIME(c) ((c.secs*1000)+(c.msecs/1000))
Default: c, if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR. By default, this macro returns its argument, as both RTRT_CLOCK_TYPE and RTRT_TIME_TYPE are RTRT_U_INT32 in the default mode.
RTRT_TIME_TYPE_STEP
Scope: System Testing
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > Time Type - System Testing > RTRT_TIME_TYPE_STEP
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro must contain the duration of one(1) RTRT_TIME_TYPE item in microseconds. For example, based on the previous paragraph, where one RTRT_TIME_TYPE represents a millisecond, RTRT_TIME_TYPE_STEP must contain 1000.: #define RTRT_TIME_STEP 1000
Default: 1000, if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR.
RTRT_SLEEP
Scope: System Testing
Value: RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Clock interface > usr_sleep - System Testing
Description:
If RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR, this macro can be used to redefine the sleep function.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user needs to write the usr_sleep function that will be called to sleep for a while, between each polling and for a PAUSE time. The prototype should be:: void usr_sleep(RTRT_TIME_TYPE p);
where p is represents the duration to sleep.
If the value is RTRT_NONE, System Testing becomes unavailable.
Default: RTRT_USR, if RTRT_CLOCK is set to RTRT_USR.
The polling cycle may be customized, by the definition of RTST_WTIME_MICRO_SECONDS macro. The default value is 10000L
The PAUSE time may be customized, by the definition of the ATL_PAUSE_TIME_TO_TIME macro in the “Include files visible to all generated files” part of the TDP. The default value is RTST_WTIME_MICRO_SECONDS/RTRT_TIME_TYPE_STEP
Thread Interface
Use this section to define your target’s thread interface.
Thread specifics
RTRT_THREADS
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features based on a preemptive multi-threaded mechanism.
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_SOLARIS | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE
Path: Library Settings > Thread Interface
Description:
This macro indicates whether or not a tasking mechanism is available.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular POSIX-pthreads or Win32-threads libraries are used for Unix or Windows.
If the value is RTRT_SOLARIS, the regular Solaris-threads library is used.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user will have to customize all the RTRT_MT_ macros of this chapter.
If the value is RTRT_NONE, all the concerned feaures may appear to work but results may be erratic. It is safe to consider that if the tested code or the instrumented application is based on several preemptive treads, with at least two of them beeing instrumented, RTRT_THREADS should not be set to RTRT_NONE.
Default: RTRT_NONE
General tab
RTRT_MT_THREAD_ISALIVE (id)
Scope: Runtime Analysis Features based on a preemptive multi-threaded mechanism.
Path: Library Settings > Thread Interface > General > RTRT_MT_THREAD_ISALIVE
Description:
If the value of RTRT_THREADS is RTRT_USR, this macro must contain a C expression returning a boolean expression indicating whether the thread identified by (t) is still alive. For example:: #define RTRT_MT_THREAD_ISALIVE(id) isAlive(id)
This macro is not usefull if the macro RTRT_MT_THREAD_SPECIFIC_DATA_CREATE specify the function ‘_atl_threads_release_index’ as function called at threadExit or if the threads dead normaly using ‘return’ keyword.
where <isAlive(id)> is the function returning 0 if the thread ID= threadId is dead. The threadId is the value returnned by RTRT_MT_THREAD_SELF. Using POSIX the RTRT_MT_THREAD_SPECIFIC_DATA_CREATE specify _atl_threads_release_index (second parameter) as the function to execute when the thread ends. This funtion clean up internal tables before an other thread start using the same Id. Mandatory when _atl_threads_release_index cannot be executed when the thread ends. If no funtions are available for this <isAlive(threadId)>, look at the prefix_call parser functionality and the corresponding define to trap the ExitThread function and so call the _atl_threads_dying() before the ExitThread.
So, this macro is not usefull if the macro RTRT_MT_THREAD_SPECIFIC_DATA_CREATE specify the function ‘_atl_threads_release_index’ as function called at threadExit or if the threads dead normaly using ‘return’ keyword.

Thread Index recovery
RTRT_THREADIDX
Scope: Runtime Tracing, Performance Profiling and Memory Profiling
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR | RTRT_NONE | RTRT_SORT

For example:: #define RTRT_MT_THREAD_SPECIFIC_DATA_CREATE thread_key_create(key, _atl_threads_release_index);
Default: thread_key_create(key, _atl_threads_release_index);
Since TestRT needs to know if each thread is alive or not, the function ‘_atl_threads_release_index’ will update threads status managed by the tool.
This function assume to be called with the specific data as parameter (void*). If the OS call the function without parameters, use the ‘_atl_threads_dying’ function instead
RTRT_MT_THREAD_SPECIFIC_DATA_DELETE

Thread Clock
RTRT_THREAD_CLOCK
Scope: Performance Profiling
Value: RTRT_STD | RTRT_USR
Path: Library Settings > Thread Interface > Thread clock
Description:
This macro indicates if the clock function used by the Performance Profiling feature in multi-thread mode is different from the clock function defined in the RTRT_CLOCK chapter.
If the value is RTRT_STD, the regular clock function defined at the RTRT_CLOCK chapter is used for Performance Profiling. By this way the recorded spent time in each function is the process clock instead of the thread clock and so did not take into account the thread swiching.
If the value is RTRT_USR, the user can write the code used to collect the clock to be used by the Performance Profiling feature only. This customization help to use a thread clock instead of the process or system clock to get the time spent into each function.
Default: RTRT_ STD
usr_thread_clock
Description:
If defined, this function is used to get the CPU time spent by the current thread instead of the machine clock.
This function is called with the thread self as one of the parameters. Most of the time this thread self is set to 0, it can be not nul when the dump is requested (on exit or on request). If your clock function is not able to provide the cpu time for an other thread, then return a value to get RTRT_CLOCK_TO_UNITS ( clock ) =0, so some function execution time won’t be taken into account.
Note: for Linux RHEL5 clock_gettime(CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID, &ts) can be used if the link flag –lrt is used. for windows the function GetThreadTimes(GetCurrentThread(), lpC, lpE, lpK, lpU) is also available. The return value must be the sum of Kernel and User times.

So, look at the prototype declarations to check if any throwing exception is specified and use the same for <throw> value. e.g. if the operator new prototype is: void *operator new (size_t) throw (std::bad_alloc); then use throw (std::bad_alloc) as <throw> value. If undefined this macro take the same value as RTRT_THROWING_EXCEPTION
#define RTRT_DELETE_THROW <throw>
Where <throw> is the exception class specified by the original prototype. this macro is used by the operator delete, and operator delete []. So, look at the prototype declarations to check if any throwing exception is specified and use the same for <throw> value. e.g. if the operator delete prototype is: void operator delete (void *) throw (); then use throw () as <throw> value. If undefined this macro take the same value as RTRT_NEW_THROW

Library Settings
In this section, all the library configuration settings are accessible. For each setting, the Scope field specifies the applicable Test RealTime feature.
Be sure to write Ada83 syntax in all this section if you plan to use your Ada compiler in Ada83 mode.
Note: The build mechanism copy the runtime files into the $INTDIR to be compiled with the application sources.
Note: as the GNAT copiler requires them to be named in a particular manner. Some Ada compilers just require you to specify a directory to be searched for packages so in these cases you do not need to copy the files but just give the compiler the path to the $TARGETDIR/lib and $TARGETDIR/lib/ada95 directories.
Ada restrictions
Indicate whether your Ada compiler implements the entire Ada standard or if there are any restrictions.
Scope: Component Testing for Ada
Path: Library Settings > Ada restrictions
Description:
Some compilers or Rtos-kernels do not allow the use all Ada functionality. There are basically three versions of the Test RealTime TDP library for Ada.

The ”ravenscar” version is based on the ‘smart’ version without tags and wide charactere management,
The ”smart” version. No ’IMAGE attributes are used. Numeric values are formatted using proprietary functions, No additional libraries are used (ZFP).
The ”dump” version. No ’IMAGE attribute is used. Integer values are printed using proprietary functions, while floating-point numbers are dumped as hexadecimal values. The host machine must decode these hexadecimal values and convert them into their string representation.
Note: Since the floating-point number representation on the host may be different from the target’s representation, the decoder must be adapted to the target’s representation.
The ”std” version. The ’IMAGE attribute is used to print numerical values in the test report.

Only one can be choosen at a time.
The user must choose the mode corresponding to the target’s Ada constraints.
Default: “std” for Standard Ada configuration

Scope: Component Testing for Ada
Path: Library Settings > Function bodies > Clock function
Description:
Retuns the target’s clock value coded as a priv_int value (a subtype of integer_32b defined above). The returned value does not need any conversion, as conversions will be made later (see below: clock_unit, clock_multiply, clock_divide).
The clock function must return –1 if no clock is available on the target. For example, on a POSIX machine:: function priv_clock return priv_int is
subtype c_long_int is integer;
type tms is record
tms_utime : c_long_int;

Init function
This function can be used to initiate action on the target machine before the first instrumented code execution.
Scope: Code Coverage
Path: Library Settings > Function bodies > Init function
Description:
This procedure may contain the code needed to initiate actions when the first line of the instrumented code is executed.
This procedure may be empty if no initialization are required before instrumented code execution. In this case, please note that the linker is allowed to suppress these symbols from the final executable. This may be a problem if you rely on a debugger breakpoint to really do something on the host/target, as described in the “Breakpoint-Mode” of the previous section. You will not be able to set a breakpoint in a function which has been suppressed from the final code. In this case, add a few lines of dummy code to this function.
Open function
This function opens a file on the host machine.
Scope: Component Testing for Ada, Code Coverage
Path: Library Settings > Function bodies > Open function
This procedure must contain the code required to open a file on the host. The name of this file is contained in the name parameter, and file is the out parameter.
Default: text_io.create(file,text_io.out_file,name);
Write function
This procedure writes a line to a file on the host.
Scope: Component Testing for Ada, Code Coverage
Path: Library Settings > Function bodies > Write function
Description:
This procedure may be empty if no file open function is available on the target. In this case, please note that the linker is allowed to suppress these symbols from the final executable. This may be a problem if you rely on a debugger breakpoint to really retrieve the string value, as described in the “Breakpoint-Mode” of the previous chapter. You will not be able to set a breakpoint in a function which has been suppressed from the final code. In this case, add a few lines of dummy code to this function.
For Component Testing for Ada: When the test program starts on the entry point, it will first hit the priv_open function. Then, it will call priv_writeln several times (each time a new line must be printed in the out file). When hit, the debugger should log the value of the line argument. Then, continuing, the test program will eventually hit priv_close, which indicates the end of the program. All these functions can be used by debugger scripts in order to run corresponding actions on each function.
For a standalone instrumented application: When the dump-point is hit, the procedure attolcov.dump (for Ada83) or atw.coverage.dump (for Ada) is called (either due to a manual modification of the code or due to an instrumentation option (-dumpincoming, -dumpreturning or –dumpcalling). When called, this function will call priv_open, then will call the priv_writeln function several times. When hit, the debugger should dump the value of the line parameter into a file. Then, continuing, the program will finally call priv_close, indicating the end of the dump process. The application can then continue.
Default: text_io.put(file,line); text_io.new_line(file);
Close function
This function closes a file on the host.
Scope: Component Testing for Ada, Code Coverage
Path: Library Settings > Function bodies > Close function
Description:
This procedure must contain the code needed to close a file. The file is given as parameter.
This procedure may be empty if no file open function is available on the target. In this case, please note that the linker is allowed to suppress these symbols from the final executable. This may be a problem if you rely on a debugger breakpoint to really close the file on the host, as described in the “Breakpoint-Mode” of the previous section. You will not be able to set a breakpoint in a function which has been suppressed from the final code. In this case, add a few lines of dummy code to this function.
Default: text_io.close(file);

In the Early Init Code section, specify the needed code if any. This code will be executed when Custom.class will be loaded, (when the first instrumented class is loaded).
Thread Adaptation
Scope: All features
Path: Library Settings >
Description:
In the Attributes section, add any attribute needed in the adaptation.
The waitForThreads method must wait for the last thread to terminate. For a J2ME platform, the methid is empty.
The threadName method has to return the name of the calling thread. For a J2SE platform, the getName method of java.lang.Thread call is used. This name is then encoded in UFT8. For a J2ME platform, this method returns null.
Data Retrieval
Scope: All features
Description:
In the Attributes section, add any attribute needed in the adaptation.
Depending whether the platform authorizes the usage of java.io.OutputStream (known as "socket mode") or java.io.FileOutputStream (known as "File Mode"), the outOpen method must open the Products.out_file or must connect a socket to the Products.out_url URL.
The Products class is generated by the tool. The following lines are extracted from a generated Products.java source code:
public static final String out_file = "jdk1.4.0\\Example.spt"; public static final String out_url = "http://127.0.0.1:7777";
The out_file is built by the $INTDIR variable and the node name, and as a consequence, is not modifiable though the project settings. The out_url attribute can be modified through the project settings (Settings::General::Host Configuration::Address and Socket Uploader Port).
For the "socket mode", a Trace Receiver is delivered with the tool. It is automatically launched if:

SOCKET_UPLOAD is set to True in the Basic Settings For Java section, and
SOCKET_UPLOAD_DELIMITER contains one character identifying the useful data for Test RealTime in the Basic Settings For Java section, and

listens to the out_url attribute.
The outWrite method must write the buffer parameter to the previously opened stream. The index parameter contains the number of bytes to be written.
For the "socket mode", the SOCKET_UPLOAD_DELIMITER character must be written before and after the buffer (declare in the Attribute section a final attribute containing the same value than SOCKET_UPLOAD_DELIMITER from the Basic Settings For Java).
The outClose method must close the stream opened in outOpen.
The pushError method must print the msg parameter.
Clock Adaptation
Scope: All features
Path: Library Settings >
Description:
In the Attributes section, add any attribute needed in the adaptation.
The getClock method must return the clock value, represented on a long.
The getClockUnit method must return an array of bytes representing the clock unit.

JVMPI customization
In this section, the goal is to configure and build a target-adapted JVMPI shared libray. All the JVMPI adaptations are accessible. For each setting, the Scope field specifies the applicable feature.
The build action (see below) will be generated in both a Shell script and a Bat file. It MUST be launched manually to regenerate the JVMPI shared library.

Description:
In this section, enter every #include that is needed to build the JVMPI shared library.
Default: Empty
Heap settings
Scope: Memory Profiling for Java
Values : JVMPI_STD | JVMPI_USR
Path: Library Settings >
Description:
If set to JVMPI_STD, the dynamic memory allocation needed will be made using the standard malloc and free functions.
If the use of such routines is not allowed on the target, set this macro to JVMPI_USR and fill JVMPI_SIZE_T, jvmpi_usr_malloc and jvmpi_usr_free types/functions with the appropriate contents.
Default: JVMPI_STD
Data Retrieval
Scope: Memory Profiling for Java
Values : JVMPI_STD | JVMPI_USR
Path: Library Settings >

Description:
If set to JVMPI _STD, the error message output is made using the standard fprintf function on the STDERR file descriptor.
If the use of such routines is not allowed on the target, set this macro to JVMPI_USR and fill the jvmpi_usr_error function with the appropriate code.
Default: JVMPI_STD
String Library
Scope: Memory Profiling for Java
Values : JVMPI_STD | JVMPI_USR
Path: Library Settings >
Description:
If set to JVMPI_STD, the strings are manipulated using the standard strncmp, strcmp, strcpy, strstr and strlen functions.
If the use of such routines is not allowed on the target, set this macro to JVMPI_USR and fill the jvmpi_usr_strncmp, jvmpi_usr_strcmp, jvmpi_usr_strcpy, jvmpi_usr_strstr and jvmpi_usr_strlen functions with the appropriate code.

If the use of such routines is not allowed on the target, set this macro to JVMPI_USR and fill the jvmpi_usr_getDateInMilliSec function with the appropriate code.
Default: JVMPI_STD
Socket interface
Scope: Memory Profiling for Java
Values : JVMPI_STD | JVMPI_USR | JVMPI_NONE
Path: Library Settings >
Description:
If set to JVMPI_STD, the communication between the GUI and the running JVM is based on a TCP-IP mechanism using the standard socket type and the standard socket-BSD functions.
If the use of such routines is not allowed on the target, set this macro to JVMPI_NONE. The communication between the GUI and the JVM becomes unavailable (used for the hot-key feature (pressing the hot-key will ask for a snapshot beeing sent back to the GUI).
If the use of such routines has to be adapted for the target, set this macro to JVMPI_USR and fill the JVMPI_SOCKET_ID, jvmpi_usr_connect, jvmpi_usr_recv, jvmpi_usr_send and jvmpi_usr_socket_close functions with the appropriate contents.
The JVMPI_SOCKET_ID must contain the target socket type.
The jvmpi_usr_connect must return a JVMPI_SOCKET_ID item created, opened and connected. It receives as first parameter the address, (which can be a hostname or an IP-address depending on how the user specified it inside the TestRT GUI (Settings JVMPI)) and as as second parameter, the port number as a char *. Do an atoi to convert it to an int, and maybe an htons. If the user specified a hostname inside the settings of the TestRT GUI, you must code here the required conversions (gethostbyname for instance).
The jvmpi_usr_recev routine must return the number of bytes read. It receives as parameter the JVMPI_SOCKET_ID to read, and a buffer address to store the bytes, and the number of bytes to read.
The jvmpi_usr_send routine must return the number of bytes sent, and receives as parameter the JVMPI_SOCKET_ID to write to, the buffer address containing the bytes to send and the number of bytes to write.
The jvmpi_usr_socket_close routine receives the JVMPI_SOCKET_ID item to be closed, and must return 0 on success and non-zero on failure.
Default: JVMPI_STD

Path: Library Settings >
Description:
In this section, enter any extra code that is needed to build the JVMPI shared library.
Default: Empty
Build Command Line
Scope: Memory Profiling for Java
Description:
The contents of this section describes the way the JVMPI shared library is built.
The contents of this section will be stored in the directory: <PathTo>/targets/<xdpFileBaseName>/lib/jvmpi in two files: build.bat and build.sh
This directory already contains a set of Makefiles and build processes that can be used as examples. If one of them can be used directly, specify just "make" or "nmake" in this section.
It must be launched manually, after the xdp file has been saved.
The only source file invoved is pagent.cpp, located in: <PathTo>/targets/<xdpFileBaseName>/lib/jvmpi
An include path must be given to the compiler to access jvmpi.h (delivered in the Java SDK).
A shared library must be produced from the obtained object file pagent.o.
The name of this generated shared library will have to be given to the execution procedure (see atl_exec above), when launching the JVM. It is usually made by specifying –Xrun (for Sun SDKs) or –Xprofiling (for WindRiver) followed by the name of this shared library.
Default: Empty
Parser Settings
This section enables modification of the parser configuration files.
The parser configuration files are used to modify the default behavior of the parser to address, for example, non-ANSI extensions.
The parser setting are made of options, #pragmas and #defines that you might need to parse specific keyword used by your compiler. Lot of keywords are redefined by include files. So the real keyword to take into account may not be the one used in the source code. To see what is the compiled real keyword, preprocess the source file to .i file then look for unkown keyword in this file. in verbose mode studio automatically keep .i file for any inspection.
New C instrumentor and Code Review are based on the same parser as for the C++ language and use the same customizable part as for component testing for C. So all standard options should be set into the “Analyzer file configuration” and all non-ANSI extensions should be set into the “Header adaptation for C”
It could be useful to have some part of these files only available for one tool. So each tool defines different macros.
Code Review defines: NEED_CRC_DEFS,NEED_PREPRO_DEFS and _ATL_PREPRO_ONLY and uses ana/atus_c.def and ana/atl.opp as customization part.
New C instrumentor defines: NEED_ATTOLCCP_DEFS
attolstartC defines: _ATL_PREPRO_ONLY when –prepro_only option is used and uses atus_c.def as customization part. attolstartC with –metric option defines: _ATL_PREPRO_ONLY and uses atus_c.def for the preprocessing step, then uses atct.def to compute metrics (metcc1).
atoprepro and atostart defines: NEED_PREPRO_DEFS and uses atl.hpp and atl.opp as cutomization part.
Header adaptation for C / System Testing for C++
Parser modifications are necessary to support the Component Testing and System Testing features for the C language and to support the System Testing feature for C++.
Path: Parser Settings > Header adaptation for C
The following is a list of #pragmas and #defines that you might need to parse user code.
The content of this section is written into the ana/atus_c[pp].def file and used by the wizard (attolstartC), the test compiler (attolpreproC), new C instrumentor, and code review.
Note: Since the system testing C++ uses the same parser as test compiler for C, the same type of parser modifications are necessary for both C and C++ when using the System Testing feature of Rational Test RealTime.
#pragma attol type_modifier = <keyword>: Description :; This pragma indicates a specific type modifier to the parser.; Example :; #pragma attol type_modifier = __far; #pragma attol type_modifier = __pascal; will analyze silently :; int __pascal func ( int ) { /* ... */ }; char __far *pointer;
#pragma attol type_boolean = <TypeName>: Description :; This pragma indicates to the C/C++ parser what <TypeName> item must be considered as boolean type.; NOTE: multiple types can be defined as boolean. Each one must be declared in separate pragma.; Example :; typedef char BOOL; // New pre-defined type; #pragma attol type_boolean=BOOL
typedef <BasicType> <Compiler’s Predefined Type>: Description :; This type definition indicates to the parser that the <Compiler’s Predefined Type> is a compiler’s known type.; Example :; typedef int bit; // New pre-defined type
#define <Macro> [<Compiler’sPredefinedMacro>]: Description :; This new macro definition indicates to the parser that the <Compiler’sPredefinedMacro> is a compiler’s predefined macro.; This can also be used in case of new keywords, as the next example demonstrates.; Example :; #define _MSC_VER 1000 /* Compiler version (1000 <--> 4.0) */; will define _MSC_VER to 1000 in the preprocessing made by the parser.; #define Interrupt; will have the parser ignore the “Interrupt” keyword.; #define Interrupt ;/##/ /* Subtitute Interrupt by ;// */; By substituing the Interrupt keyword by a “;//” string, this define will allow the following line to be parsed silently:; Int MyFunction(/* C/C++ Regular Prototype */) Interrupt at 0x0E;; and transformed into; Int MyFunction(/* C/C++ Regular Prototype */);// at 0x0E;
#pragma attol sizeof(<TypeName>) = <NumberOfBits>: Description :; This pragma indicates to the parser that the size of a <TypeName> item is <NumberOfBits> long.; Example :; typedef int bit; // New pre-defined type; #pragma attol sizeof(bit)=1 // Indicates a one-bit length
#pragma attol signof(<TypeName>) = { signed | unsigned }: Description :; This pragma indicates to the parser whether the default sign of a <TypeName> item is signed or unsigned.; Example :; typedef int bit; // New pre-defined type; #pragma attol signof(bit)=signed
#pragma attol pragma "<keyword>" = "<alt>": Description :; When the parser encounters “#pragma <keyword>”, it will be replaced by the “alt” one.; This pragma will substitue; #pragma keyword; found in the initial code,by a; #pragma alt; Example :; #pragma attol pragma “asm” = "#pragma attol stop_analyze"; #pragma attol pragma “endasm” = "#pragma attol start_analyze"; will make the analyzis stop/start when the following lines are met:; #pragma asm; "mov Ax, 0x75 /* specific asm code starts here */; ...; ..." /* and ends here */; #pragma endasm
These two pragmas are usable only if they are used as substituted above:
accept the '@' token in a source file
union { char P1; char p2; } my_union @ 0x3E9;
To force the component testing for C to accept the ‘@’ token as shown above, set the environment variable AT_EXT to true using the basic setting:
ENV_AT_EXT = true.
#pragma attol incl_std = "<path1>" {,"<path2>"}: Description :; Specify a list of paths where are the standard compiler includes. These line are automatically generated thanks to the Basic Settings STD_INCLUDE Key. There may have more than one incl_std pragma in these files. The list of directories will be searched in the order in which they appear.; Example :; #pragma attol incl_std=/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/include; #pragma attol incl_std=/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/include; #pragma attol incl_std=/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include; #pragma attol incl_std=/usr/include
Note: This option and path values are automatically generated using the value of the Basic Settings STD_INCLUDE Key. Some standard TDPs generate automatically this option using the –verbose compiler option to get the path values in addition to the STD_INCLUDE key thanks to the GCCUPDATE key.
Attolcc1 adaptation for C
This section is used to configure the parser settings for the runtime observation features of Rational Test RealTime.
Path: Parser Settings > Attolcc1 adaptation for C
The content of this section is written into the ana/atct.def file and only used by the attolcc1 instrumentor for C.
#define All #define lines, found in this part are ignored by the attolcc1 instrumentor.
#pragma attol exit_instr ="<procedure>" {,"<procedure}"}: Description :; This pragma indicates to the parser that the functions listed should be considered termination points. As a result, instrumentation will add a call to atl_obstools_dump just before the listed functions.; Example :; #pragma attol exit_instr="exit","_exit","abort"
#pragma attol ex_call = "<procedure>" {,"<procedure>"}: Description :; This pragma indicates to the parser that the functions listed must be excluded from Code Coverage Call instrumentation.; Example :; #pragma attol ex_call "_builtin_va_arg_incr"
#pragma attol prefix_call "RTRT_" = "<ident>"[,"<ident>"….]
where ident is the function name and RTRT_ is the added prefix.
This pragma can be used to change the name of the called function.: Here the instrumented application will call RTRT_ident instead of ident, what ever the instrumentation options.
#pragma attol accept "<keyword>": Description :; This pragma indicate to the parser that the keyword <keyword> should be silently suppressed from lexical analysis.; Example :; #pragma attol accept "__inline__"; will allows to analyze correctly the line:; int __inline__ func ( void );
#pragma attol accept "<keyword>"=<num1>: Description :; This pragma indicates to the parser that the keyword <keyword> should be silently accepted, and replaced by the expression represented by <num1>. Refer to the Token Table to specify the expression you want.; Example :; #pragma attol accept "__volatile__" = 284; Knowing that 284 represents the “volatile” keyword, this pragma enables correct analysis of this line:; __volatile__ int a;
#pragma attol accept "<keyword>" to <num2> {,<num3>}: Description :; This pragma indicates to the parser that the keyword <keyword> and all elements found untill the token <num2> or <num3> should be silently accepted, or suppressed. Refer to the Token Table to specify the <num2> you want. (note that the token: <num2> will be excluded); Example :; #pragma attol accept "@" to 331, 338; Knowing that 331 represents the “;” token, and 338 the “{“, this pragma enables proper analysis of the line:; void f ( void ) @ 0xFF02; /* declaration ; is kept */
char _PORTAB @(REG_BASE + 0x02); /* declaration ; is kept */; void f ( void ) @ 0xFF02 /* definition { is kept */; {; /* here is code */; }
#pragma attol accept "<keyword>" up to <num2> {,<num3>}: Description :; This pragma is equivalent to the previous one including the token <num2> or <num3>; Example :; #pragma attol accept “__asm__” up to 337; Knowing that 337 represents the “]”token, this pragma enables proper analysis of the line:; void func ( void ); {; __asm__ [ mov Ah,0xff7c ] /* ] is also ignored */; if ( ) ...; }
#pragma attol reduce "<keyword>" [ null | typename | empty | = <num> ]: Description :; This pragma indicates to the parser that when the keyword <keyword> is encountered, it should reduce the parenthesised expression that immediately follows. The <keyword> is not ignored, unless null is specified (it will be suppressed in this case) or if typename is specified (it will be considered as a type name).; Example :; #pragma attol reduce "__extension__"; will enable proper analysis of the line:; int a = __extension__ ( { (a) }) [{}] any thing but with the good number of parenthesis);; The entire expression starting with __extension__ and ending in ) is considered as a C identifier; #pragma attol reduce "_asm" null; will also enable proper analysis of the line, it's the preferred way for statements:; _asm ( /* any assembler code */ ) /* all of this ignored */; The entire expression starting with _asm and ending in ) is considered as an empty expression, with a starting and an ending position that will instrumentor to correctly insert its probes.; #pragma attol reduce "__attribute__" null; will enable proper analysis of the line:; __attribute__ ( /* any attribute description */ ) /* all of this ignored */; The entire expression starting with __attribute__ and ending in ) becomes completely invisible to the instrumentor.; #pragma attol reduce “_interrupt” null; will silently analyse and instrument the function; _interrupt (-1) void Hdle_Acquisition ( void )
{ /* Regular C Code */ }; #pragma attol reduce "__typeof__" typename; will enable proper analysis of the line:; ptr = (__typeof__(p))p; /* this is a cast expression */; The entire expression starting with __typeof__ and ending in ) is considered as a type and can then be used in a cast expression.; #pragma attol reduce "__except" = 345; will enable proper analysis of the statement:; __except (Exception e) { <Regular C Code> }; The entire expression starting with __except and ending in ) is considered as a catch keyword (token code 345). Refer to the token Table to specify the <num> you want.
#pragma attol fctreduce "<keyword>": Description :; This pragma indicates to the parser that when the keyword <keyword> is encountered, it should reduce the braced {} expression that immediately follows. The function returned will not be instrumented.; Example :; #pragma attol fctreduce "__asm"; will analyze silently the expression; __asm { /* any assembler code { … } */ }; /* the eventual assembler code braces must match correctly */
#pragma attol type_modifier = <keyword>
Description :: This pragma is the same as a simple accept pragma.; Example :; #pragma attol type_modifier = __pascal; /* same as #pragma attol accept "__pascal" */; will silently analyze:; int __pascal func ( int ) { /* ... */ }
#pragma attol pragma "<keyword>" = "<alt>": Description :; This pragma will substitue in the analysis a; #pragma keyword; found in the initial code,by the contents of <alt>, to be interpreted as well; #pragma alt; Example :; #pragma attol pragma “asm” = "#pragma attol stop_analyze"; #pragma attol pragma “endasm” = "#pragma attol start_analyze"
will make the analysis stop/start when the following lines are met:: #pragma asm; "mov Ax, 0x75 /* specific asm code starts here */; ...; ..." /* and ends here */; #pragma endasm; Refer below for a description of the stop/start_analyze pragmas.
#pragma attol nothingbefore: Description :; Used in conjunction with the previous pragma, this pragma is used to prevent the instrumenter from declaring internal variables before a specific pragma:; Example :; #pragma attol pragma "huge" = "#pragma attol nothingbefore"; will indicate that nothing should be added before the line; #pragma huge; of the original source code in the instrumented source code.
#pragma attol nointerpret: Description :; This pragma is concerned with the interpretation of backslashes in #line lines. If the target preprocessor for Windows generates lines with double backslashes as #line ”c:\\...”, this pragma is not required. If the target preprocessor generates #line ”c:\...”, this pragma needs to be defined.; See also –-old_style_preprocessing in the TDP Editor section Parser Settings->Object Testing and runtime observation features for C++->Analyzer file configuration, which is the equivalent for C++.
#pragma attol directive "<ident>" = "<alt>"
Description :: When a “#Ident” is met in the original source code, it should be replaced by the “alt” pragma.; Example :; #pragma attol directive “asm” = "#pragma attol stop_analyze"; #pragma attol directive “endasm” = "#pragma attol start_analyze"; will have the following lines silently ignored:; #asm; "mov Ax, 0x75 /* specific asm code starts here */; ...; ..." /* and ends here */; #endasm; Refer below for a description of the stop/start_analyze pragmas.
#pragma attol "microsoft#_asm": Description :; This pragma is required to ensure that winnt.h is silently analyzed. It contains specific Microsoft non-ANSI extensions that are concerned with an inlined assembler.; Example :; #pragma attol "microsoft#_asm"; will silently analyze lines contained in winnt.h such as:; /* in winnt.h : */; _asm mov Ax, 0x667E43; __asm { /* intel assembler code */ }; /* Microsoft allows _asm and __asm to introduce assembler code with or without braces */
#pragma attol "microsoft#seh": Description :; This pragma is required to ensure that the Microsoft Software Exception Handling (Exceptions in C language) are correctly parsed. __try, __except, __leave and __finally keywords are then accepted.; Example :; #pragma attol "microsoft#seh"
#pragma attol "gnu#__extension__": Description :; This pragma is required to ensure that the Gnu compiler __extension__ keyword is correctly handled.; Example :; #pragma attol "gnu#__extension__"

Pragmas to be specified in the code itself
Pragmas can be inserted into the original code.
The following pragmas only make sense if they are inserted in the original source code or if they are aliased (see above the pragma and the directive pragmas).
#pragma attol stop_analyze #pragma attol start_analyze
#pragma attol stop_instr #pragma attol start_instr
Description :
These pragmas can be used to start/stop analysis or instrumentation. Stopping analysis will stop the instrumentation.
Starting instrumentation will start analyzis.
#pragma attol incl_std = "<path1>" {,"<path2>"}: Description :; Specify a list of paths where are the standard compiler includes. These line are automatically generated thanks to the Basic Settings STD_INCLUDE Key. There may have more than one incl_std pragma in these files. The list of directories will be searched in the order in which they appear.
Note: This option and path values are automatically generated using the value of the Basic Settings STD_INCLUDE Key. Some standard TDPs generate automatically this option using the –verbose compiler option to get the path values in addition to the STD_INCLUDE key thanks to the GCCUPDATE key.
Header adaptation for C++
Use this section to specify the #defines or typedefs necessary to address compiler predefined keywords.
Path: Parser Settings > Header adaptation for C++
The content of this section is written into the ana/atl.hpp file and only used by the attolccp instrumentor.
typedef <BasicType> <Compiler’s Predefined Type>: Description :; This type definition indicates to the parser that the <Compiler’s Predefined Type> is a compiler’s pre-defined type.; Example :; typedef int bit; // New pre-defined type
#define <Macro> [<Compiler’sPredefinedMacro>]: Description :; This new macro definition indicates to the parser that the <Compiler’sPredefinedMacro> is a compiler’s predefined macro.; This can also be used in the case of new keywords, as the next example demonstrates.; Example :; #define _MSC_VER 1000 /* Compiler version (1000 <--> 4.0) */; will define _MSC_VER to 1000 in the preprocessing made by the parser.; #define Interrupt; will make the parser ignore the “Interrupt” keyword.; #define Interrupt ;/##/ /* Subtitute Interrupt by ;// */; By substituing the Interrupt keyword with a “;//” string, this define will allow the following line to be parsed silently:; Int MyFunction(/* C/C++ Regular Prototype */) Interrupt at 0x0E;; and thus transformed into; Int MyFunction(/* C/C++ Regular Prototype */);// at 0x0E;
#pragma attol stop_analyze #pragma attol start_analyze
#pragma attol stop_analyze <ident1>
#pragma attol start_analyze <ident2>

where <ident1> and <ident2> are the name of the pragmas asm and endasm

Example :; #pragma attol stop_analyze_pragma asm
#pragma attol start_analyze_pragma endasm
These pragmas can be used to start/stop the analysis.
#pragma attol as_implementation <ident>: Description :
When the parser encounters “#pragma as_implementation <ident>”, Where <ident> is the name of the compiler pragma which provide the same functionality as the GNU compiler pragma implementation, it will move down the TestRT header insertion after this pragma, to avoid undefined references at link time. Example :
#pragma attol as_implementation implementation
This pragma is only available for C++.
#pragma attol prefix_call "RTRT_" = "<ident>"[,"<ident>"….]
where ident is the function name and RTRT_ is the added prefix.
This pragma can be used to change the name of the called function.
Here the instrumented application will call RTRT_ident instead of ident, what ever the instrumentation options.
Analyzer file configuration
Use this section to specify the options necessary for the Test RealTime parser to accomodate your compiler’s behavior.
Path: Parser Settings > Analyzer file configuration
The content of this section is written into the ana/atl.opp file and used by the attolccp instrumentor, atostart and crccc (code review).
Since many different C++ syntaxes and constructions may be accepted by the target compiler, it is important to adapt the corresponding Test RealTime parser to the compiler’s accepted dialect. The complete list of options is given below.
As it is quite complex to go through all these options, this section can be partially generated by running the Perl script OppMaker.pl, which runs diagnostic tests against your compiler. For these tests, the previously defined compilation function is used.
To run this Perl script, go to the directory <installDir>/lib/oppmaker, edit the oppmaker.sh or oppmaker.bat and fix the value of the ATLTGT environment variable on your new Target Deployment Port. Run It. A file named atl.opp can be used as a template. Check the generated options regarding the following documentation and your compiler documentation then copy the contents of this file that seems appropriate to your compiler into this section of the TDP editor.
The front end accepts the C++ language as defined by the ISO/IEC 14882:1998 standard and modified by TC1 for that standard.
The complete reference of possible options are the followings:
--include_directory dir --sys_include dir -Idir: Add dir to the list of directories searched for #includes. (1 directory per line)
All code coming from files located into these directories are not instrumented.
When parsing the source files, the test script generator uses these directories to find system includes.
Note: This option and dir values are automatically generated using the value of the Basic Settings STD_INCLUDE Key. Some standard TDPs generate automatically this option using the –verbose compiler option to get the dir values in addition to the STD_INCLUDE key thanks to the GCCUPDATE key. This option is not used by the code review tool.
--incl_suffixes str: Specifies the list of suffixes to be used when searching for an include file whose name was specified without a suffix. The argument is a colon-separated list of suffixes (e.g., “h:hpp::”). If a null suffix is to be allowed, it must be included in the suffix list. The default is specified by the configuration flag DEFAULT_INCLUDE_FILE_SUFFIX_LIST.
--at_sign
this option allow the parser to analyse without error the file using the notation like: @…..;
--preinclude filename: Include the source code of the indicated file at the beginning of the compilation. This can be used to establish standard macro definitions, etc. The file name is searched for in the directories on the include search list.
--no_warnings -w: Suppress warnings. Errors are still issued.
--remarks -r: Issue remarks, which are diagnostic messages even milder than warnings.
--error_limit number -e number: Set the error limit to number. The front end will abandon compilation after this number of errors (remarks and warnings are not counted toward the limit). By default, the limit is 100.
--diag_suppress tag, tag,... --diag_remark tag, tag,... --diag_warning tag, tag,... --diag_error tag, tag,...: Override the normal error severity of the specified diagnostic messages. The message(s) may be specified using a mnemonic error tag or using an error number. The error numbers is shown by the parser when the error is found.; If the error number is followed by –D this error may be suppressed using the
--diag_suppress statement without risk.
Note : the tag number 111 correspond to the detection of unreachable code.
So instrumentor will not be able to detect it if this diag is suppressed.
--no_use_before_set_warnings -j: Suppress warnings on local automatic variables that are used before their values are set. The front end’s algorithm for detecting such uses is conservative and is likely to miss some cases that an optimizer with sophisticated flow analysis could detect; thus, an implementation might choose to suppress the warnings from the front end when optimization has been requested but to permit them when the optimizer is not being run.
--old_c -K: Enable K&R/pcc mode, which approximates the behavior of the standard UNIX pcc. ANSI C features that do not conflict with K&R/pcc features are still supported in this mode.
--strict_warnings or –a --strict or –A: Enable strict ANSI mode, which provides diagnostic messages when non-ANSI features are used, and disables features that conflict with ANSI C or C++. This is compatible with both C and C++ mode (although ANSI conformance with C++ does not yet mean anything). It is not compatible with pcc mode. ANSI viola-tions can be issued as either warnings or errors depending on which command line option is used. The -A and --strict options cause errors to be issued whereas the -a and --strict_warnings options produce warnings. The error threshold is set so that the requested diagnostics will be listed.
--anachronisms --no_anachronisms: Enable or disable anachronisms in C++ mode. The default for this option is specified by DEFAULT_ALLOW_ANACHRONISMS. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--cfront_2.1 -b: Enable compilation of C++ with compatibility with cfront version 2.1. This causes the compiler to accept language constructs that, while not part of the C++ language definition, are accepted by the AT&T C++ Language System (cfront) release 2.1. This option also enables acceptance of anachronisms.
--cfront_3.0: Enable compilation of C++ with compatibility with cfront version 3.0. This causes the compiler to accept language constructs that, while not part of the C++ language definition, are accepted by the AT&T C++ Language System (cfront) release 3.0. This option also enables acceptance of anachronisms.
--signed_chars -s: Make plain char signed. The default signedness for char is selected at the time of installation of the front end (information on this appears in a later section of this document). When plain char is signed, the macro __SIGNED_CHARS__ is defined by the front end.
--unsigned_chars -u: Make plain char unsigned. The default signedness for char is selected at the time of installation of the front end (information on this appears in a later section of this document).
--instantiate mode -tmode: Control instantiation of external template entities. External template entities are external (i.e., noninline and nonstatic) template functions and template static data members. The instantiation mode determines the template entities for which code should be generated based on the template definition):
none Instantiate no template entities. This is the default.
used Instantiate only the template entities that are used in this compilation.
all Instantiate all template entities whether or not they are used.
local Instantiate only the template entities that are used in this compilation, and force those entities to be local to this compilation.
See the section of this chapter on template instantiation. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--auto_instantiation --no_auto_instantiation -T: Enable or disable automatic instantiation of templates. The -T option is equivalent to --auto_instantiation. The default behavior is specified by the configuration flag DEFAULT_AUTOMATIC_INSTANTIATION_MODE. See the section of this chapter on template instantiation. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--implicit_include --no_implicit_include -B: Enable or disable implicit inclusion of source files as a method of finding definitions of template entities to be instantiated. -B is equivalent to --implicit_include. The default behavior is specified by the configuration flag DEFAULT_IMPLICIT_TEMPLATE_INCLUSION_MODE. See the section of this chapter on template instantiation. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--pending_instantiations=n: Specifies the maximum number of instantiations of a given template that may be in process of being instantiated at a given time. This is used to detect runaway recursive instantiations. If n is zero, there is no limit. The default is specified by the configuration parameter DEFAULT_MAX_PENDING_INSTANTIATIONS.
--distinct_template_signatures --no_distinct_template_signatures: Control whether the signatures for template functions can match those for non-template functions when the functions appear in different compilation units. (This option is available only on versions that do name mangling on the names of external entities.) The default is --distinct_template_signatures, under which a normal function cannot be used to satisfy the need for a template instance; e.g., a function “void f(int)” could not be used to satisfy the need for an instantiation of a template “void f(T)” with T set to int. --no_distinct_template_signatures provides the older language behavior, under which a non-template function can match a template function. Also controls whether function templates may have template parameters that are not used in the function signature of the function template.
--nonstd_qualifier_deduction --no_nonstd_qualifier_deduction: Controls whether non-standard template argument deduction should be performed in the qualifier portion of a qualified name. With this feature enabled, a template argument for the template parameter T can de deduced in contexts like A<T>::B or T::B. The standard deduction mechanism treats these as nondeduced contexts that use the values of template parameters that were either explicitly specified or deduced elsewhere.
--exceptions --no_exceptions -x: Enable or disable support for exception handling. -x is equivalent to --exceptions. The default behavior is specified by the configuration constant DEFAULT_EXCEPTIONS_ENABLED. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--exceptions_generation_allowed --no_exceptions_generation_allowed
These options are used by Component Testing for C++ to specify how methods should be instrumented. If enabled, methods will be instrumented with an exceptions-based technique. If not enabled, methods will be instrumented with a jump technique (goto instruction). It is recommended to enable this option.
Some compilers basically support exceptions but do not correctly manage the stack when exceptions are intensively used (as does Component Testing for C++). If you encounter crashes in the instrumented code when using Contract Check, Stubs or CHECK METHOD instructions in the .otd script, disable this option.
This option has no effect when exceptions support is disabled. When exceptions are enabled (with the --exceptions option), this option is enabled by default.
--rtti --no_rtti: Enable or disable support for RTTI (runtime type information) features: dynamic_cast, typeid. The default behavior is specified by the configuration constant DEFAULT_RTTI_ENABLED. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--array_new_and_delete --no_array_new_and_delete: Enable or disable support for array new and delete. The default behavior is specified by the configuration constant DEFAULT_ARRAY_NEW_AND_DELETE_ENABLED. This option is valid only in C++ mode. The front end can be configured to define a preprocessing variable when array new and delete are enabled. This preprocessing variable may then be used by the standard header files to decide whether to include the declarations for the array new/delete functions.
--explicit --no_explicit: Enable or disable support for the explicit specifier on constructor declarations. The default behavior is specified by the configuration constant DEFAULT_EXPLICIT_KEYWORD_ENABLED. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--namespaces --no_namespaces: Enable or disable support for namespaces. The default behavior is specified by the configuration constant DEFAULT_NAMESPACES_ENABLED. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--using_std --no_using_std: Enable or disable implicit use of the std namespace when standard header files are included. The default behavior is specified by the configuration constant DEFAULT_IMPLICIT_USING_STD. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--old_for_init --new_for_init: Control the scope of a declaration in a for-init-statement. The old (cfront-compatible) scoping rules mean the declaration is in the scope to which the for statement itself belongs; the new (standard-conforming) rules in effect wrap the entire for statement in its own implicitly generated scope. The default behavior is specified by configuration constant DEFAULT_USE_NONSTANDARD_FOR_INIT_SCOPE. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--for_init_diff_warning --no_for_init_diff_warning: Enable or disable a warning that is issued when programs compiled under the new for-init scoping rules would have had different behavior under the old rules. The diagnostic is only put out when the new rules are used. DEFAULT_WARNING_ON_FOR_INIT_DIFFERENCE specifies the default behavior. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--old_specializations --no_old_specializations: Enable or disable acceptance of old-style template specializations (i.e., specializations that do not use the template<> syntax). Default behavior is specified by DEFAULT_OLD_SPECIALIZATIONS_ALLOWED. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--guiding_decls --no_guiding_decls: Enable or disable recognition of “guiding declarations” of template functions. A guiding declaration is a function declaration that matches an instance of a function template but has no explicit definition (since its definition derives from the function template). For example:; template <class T> void f(T) { ... }; void f(int);; When regarded as a guiding declaration, f(int) is an instance of the template; otherwise, it is an independent function for which a definition must be supplied. If --no_guiding_decls is combined with --old_specializations, a specialization of a non-member template function is not recognized — it is treated as a definition of an independent function. Default behavior is specified by DEFAULT_GUIDING_DECLS_ALLOWED. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--implicit_extern_c_type_conversion --no_implicit_extern_c_type_conversion: Enable or disable an extension to permit implicit type conversion in C++ between a pointer to an extern "C" function and a pointer to an extern "C++" function. This extension is allowed in environments where C and C++ functions share the same calling conventions: IMPL_CONV_BETWEEN_C_AND_CPP_FUNCTION_PTRS_POSSIBLE must be set for it to be available. (It is useful for cfront compatibility when DEFAULT_C_AND_CPP_FUNCTION_TYPES_ARE_DISTINCT is TRUE — in standard C++ the linkage specification is part of the function type, with the consequence that other-wise identical function types, one declared extern "C" and the other declared extern "C++", are viewed as distinct.)
--long_preserving_rules --no_long_preserving_rules: Enable or disable the K&R usual arithmetic conversion rules with respect to long. This means the rules of K&R I, Appendix A, 6.6, not the rules used by the pcc compiler. The significant difference is in the handling of “long op unsigned int” when int and long are the same size. The ANSI/ISO/pcc rules say the result is unsigned long, but K&R I says the result is long (unsigned long did not exist in K&R I).
--extern_inline --no_extern_inline: Enable or disable support for inline functions with external linkage in C++. When inline functions are allowed to have external linkage (as required by the standard), then extern and inline are compatible specifiers on a non-member function declaration; the default linkage when inline appears alone is external (that is, inline means extern inline on non-member functions); and an inline member function takes on the linkage of its class (which is usually external). However, when inline functions have only internal linkage (as specified in the ARM), then extern and inline are incompatible; the default linkage when inline appears alone is internal (that is, inline means static inline on non-member functions); and inline member functions have internal linkage no matter what the linkage of their class.
--dollar -$: Accept dollar signs in identifiers. The default value of this option is specified in a configuration file. --error_output efile Redirect the output that would normally go to stderr (i.e., diagnostic messages) to the file efile. This option is useful on systems where output redirection of files is not well supported. If used, this option should probably be specified first in the command line, since otherwise any command-line errors for options preceding the --error_output would be written to stderr before redirection.
--restrict --no_restrict: Enable or disable recognition of the restrict keyword. This option may be used only if RESTRICT_ALLOWED is configured to TRUE.
--long_lifetime_temps --short_lifetime_temps: Select the lifetime for temporaries: “short” means to end of full expression; “long” means to the earliest of end of scope, end of switch clause, or the next label. “short” is standard C++, and “long” is what cfront uses (the cfront compatibility modes select “long” by default).
--sun --no_sun: Enable or disable Sun CC (version 5.0) language compatibility features. This option can only be used in C++ mode, and cannot be combined with options to enable strict ANSI mode, or compatibility with cfront or Microsoft.
--sun_link_scope: Enable Sun CC (version 6.0 and later) language extension. Must not be used without –-sun option. It allows to turn on the recongnition of the keywords: __global, __symbolic and __hidden and the pragmas: disable_ldscope and enable_ldscope.
--microsoft --microsoft_16 --no_Microsoft: Enable or disable recognition of Microsoft extensions. These options may only be used if MICROSOFT_EXTENSIONS_ALLOWED is TRUE. –microsoft enables 32-bit mode. --microsoft_16 enables 16-bit mode (i.e., support for near and far; the option is accepted only if NEAR_AND_FAR_ALLOWED is TRUE). The default values are supplied by DEFAULT_MICROSOFT_MODE and DEFAULT_NEAR_AND_FAR_ENABLED. When Microsoft extensions are recognized, language features that are not recognized by the Microsoft compiler are disabled by default. In most cases these features can then be enabled through use of other command line options (for example, --bool). Microsoft bugs mode is also enabled when DEFAULT_MICROSOFT_BUGS is TRUE.
--microsoft_version: The version of the Microsoft compiler that should be emulated in Microsoft mode. This enables or disables particular Microsoft mode features when the acceptance of those features varies between versions of the Microsoft compiler. The value specified is the value of the predefined macro _MSC_VER supplied by the version of the Microsoft compiler to be emulated. For example, 1100 is the value that corresponds to Visual C++ version 5.0. This option also enables Microsoft mode, but it does not imply either 16-bit or 32-bit mode (i.e., it uses whatever value has already been specified, or the default value if none has been explicitly specified).
--microsoft_bugs --no_microsoft_bugs: Enable or disable recognition of certain Microsoft bugs. These options also enable Microsoft mode. Microsoft bugs mode is automatically enabled when Microsoft mode is used and DEFAULT_MICROSOFT_BUGS is TRUE.
--import_dir dir-name: Specify the directory in which the files to be included by #import directives are to be found. These files must have been generated previously by the Microsoft compiler. This option is valid only in Microsoft mode.
--far_data_pointers --near_data_pointers --far_code_pointers --near_code_pointers: Set the default size for pointers when support for near and far is enabled (e.g., in Microsoft 16-bit mode). Ignored in other modes.
--wchar_t_keyword --no_wchar_t_keyword: Enable or disable recognition of wchar_t as a keyword. The default value is supplied by DEFAULT_WCHAR_T_IS_KEYWORD. This option is valid only in C++ mode. The front end can be configured to define a preprocessing variable when wchar_t is recognized as a keyword. This preprocessing variable may then be used by the standard header files to determine whether a typedef should be supplied to define wchar_t.
--bool --no_bool: Enable or disable recognition of bool. The default value is supplied by DEFAULT_BOOL_IS_KEYWORD. This option is valid only in C++ mode. The front end can be configured to define a preprocessing variable when bool is recognized. This preprocessing variable may then be used by header files to deter-mine whether a typedef should be supplied to define bool.
--typename --no_typename: Enable or disable recognition of typename. The default value is supplied by DEFAULT_TYPENAME_ENABLED. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--implicit_typename --no_implicit_typename: Enable or disable implicit determination, from context, whether a template parameter dependent name is a type or nontype. The default value is supplied by DEFAULT_IMPLICIT_TYPENAME_ENABLED. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--parse_templates --no_parse_templates: Enable or disable the parsing of nonclass templates in their generic form (i.e., even if they are not really instantiated). It is done by default if dependent name processing is enabled. This option is valid only in C++ mode.
--dep_name --no_dep_name: Enable or disable dependent name processing; i.e., the separate lookup of names in templates at the time the template is parsed and at the time it is instantiated. The default value is supplied by DEFAULT_DEPENDENT_NAME_PROCESS-ING. This option is valid only in C++ mode and --dep_name cannot be combined with --no_parse_templates.
--special_subscript_cost --no_special_subscript_cost: Enable or disable a special nonstandard weighting of the conversion to the integral operand of the [] operator in overload resolution. This is a compatibility feature that may be useful with some existing code. The special cost is enabled by default in cfront 3.0 mode. With this feature enabled, the following code compiles without error:; struct A {
A();
operator int *();
int operator[](unsigned);
};
void main() {
A a;
a[ 0]; // Ambiguous, but allowed with this option
// operator[] is chosen
}; As of July 1996, the above is again acceptable, if ptrdiff_t is configured as long. Using a parameter of type ptrdiff_t (instead of unsigned int)is recommended for portability.
--alternative_tokens --no_alternative_tokens: Enable or disable recognition of alternative tokens. This controls recognition of the digraph tokens in C and C++, and controls recognition of the operator key-words (e.g., and, bitand, etc.) in C++. The default behavior is specified by the DEFAULT_ALTERNATIVE_TOKENS_ALLOWED configuration constant.
--multibyte_chars --no_multibyte_chars: Enable or disable processing for multibyte character sequences in comments, string literals, and character constants. The default behavior is specified by DEFAULT_MULTIBYTE_CHARS_IN_SOURCE_ALLOWED. Multibyte encodings are used for character sets like the Japanese SJIS.
--svr4 --no_svr4: Enable or disable recognition of SVR4 C compatibility features. The default value is supplied by DEFAULT_SVR4_C_MODE. This option also specifies that the source language being compiled is ANSI C.
--brief_diagnostics --no_brief_diagnostics: Enable or disable a mode in which a shorter form of the diagnostic output is used. When enabled, the original source line is not displayed and the error message text is not wrapped when too long to fit on a single line.
--wrap_diagnostics --no_wrap_diagnostics: Enable or disable a mode in which the error message text is not wrapped when too long to fit on a single line.
--nonconst_ref_anachronism --no_nonconst_ref_anachronism: Enable or disable the anachronism of allowing a reference to nonconst to bind to a class rvalue of the right type. This anachronism is also enabled by the --anachronisms option and the cfront-compatibility options.
--old_style_preprocessing: Concerns the interpretation of backslashes in #line lines. If the target preprocessor for Windows generates lines with double backslahes as #line ”c:\\...”, this pragma is not required. If the target preprocessor generates #line ”c:\...”, this pragma needs to be defined. See also #pragma attol nointerpret in the section Parser Settings::Runtime observation features for C, which is the equivalent for C.
--old_style_template_instantiation: This option allows a class instantiation to be accepted without the elaborated type specifier.; With this option, template<> MyClass<int,5.0> { ... } can be written as MyClass<int,5.0> { ... } without producing an error.
--embedded_c++: Enable the diagnosis of noncompliance with the “Embedded C++” subset (from which templates, exceptions, namespaces, new-style casts, RTTI, multiple inheritance, virtual base classes, and mutable are excluded).
--vla --no_vla: Enable or disable support for “variable length arrays,” an extension accepted in C mode that allows the declaration and use of arrays of automatic storage duration with dimensions that are fixed at run time. These options are available only if VLA_ALLOWED is configured to TRUE.
--enum_overloading --no_enum_overloading: Enable or disable support for using operator functions to overload builtin operations on enum-typed operands.
--const_string_literals --no_const_string_literals: Control whether C++ string literals and wide string literals are const (as required by the standard) or non-const (as was true in earlier versions of the C++ language).
--class_name_injection --no_class_name_injection: In C++, controls whether the name of a class is injected into the scope of the class (as required by the standard) or is not injected (as was true in earlier versions of the C++ language).
--class_member_in_constant_expression_allowed: Enable support of class member use in a constant expression like where expression must have a constant value:; switch( …) {case object->class_member:…..}
--arg_dependent_lookup --no_arg_dependent_lookup: In C++, controls whether argument dependent lookup of unqualified function names is performed
--friend_injection --no_friend_injection: In C++, controls whether the name of a class or function that is declared only in friend declarations is visible when using the normal lookup mechanisms. When friend names are injected, they are visible to such lookups. When friend names are not injected (as required by the standard), function names are visible only when using argument-dependent lookup, and class names are never visible.
--late_tiebreaker --early_tiebreaker: Select the way that tie-breakers (e.g., cv-qualifier differences) apply in overload resolution. In “early” tie-breaker processing, the tie-breakers are considered at the same time as other measures of the goodness of the match of an argument value and the corresponding parameter type (this is the standard approach). In “late” tiebreaker processing, tie-breakers are ignored during the initial comparison, and considered only if two functions are otherwise equally good on all arguments; the tie-breakers can then be used to choose one function over another.
--nonstd_using_decl --no_nonstd_using_decl: In C++, controls whether a nonmember using-declaration that specifies an unqualified name is allowed.
--variadic_macros --no_variadic_macros: Enable or disable support for variadic macros (a C9X extension that is also available in C++ mode).
--extended_variadic_macros --no_extended_variadic_macros: Enable or disable support for “extended variadic macros,” an extension that emulates the behavior of certain other C compilers when it comes to variadic macros.
--base_assign_op_is_default --no_base_assign_op_is_default: Enable or disable the anachronism of accepting a copy assignment operator that has an input parameter that is a reference to a base class as a default copy assignment operator for the derived class. This option is enabled by default in cfront compatibility mode.
--ignore_std: Enable a g++ compatibility feature that makes the std namespace a synonym for the global namespace.
--postcondition_before_return: Enables code generation for postconditions before the call to return in instrumented routines. Select this option only if the compiler does not support exceptions and if you don't want to provide a default constructor for every instrumented class. If this option is turned on, the return calls should not have any side-effect (i.e. a call to a non-const method).
--gen_new_specialization: If option --old_specialization is used (i.e. template specialization should be accepted without a template<> prefix), this option specifies that the generated code should use the new template specialization prefix. Turn on this option if your compiler regards old specialization syntax as a deprecated feature.
--simulate_virtual_methods: Turn on this option if the linker needs a virtual method to be defined, even if it is not used, as soon as its class is used. Typically, the GNU linker needs this option.
--treat_template_classes_as_static: This option specifies that the linker accepts several occurences of the same method for template classes. As a consequence, the template generation wizard will consider .h files containing template methods bodies as header files, and not as body files.
--multiple_default_argument: This option allows declaration of default arguments to routine parameters, both in declaration and definition of the routine.
--simulate_called_routines: Turn on this option if the linker needs every called routine to be defined, even if this routine is called by an unused routine.
--gnu_mode: Reserved to Gnu C++ Compilers (allows block statements inside expressions, __extension__, _asm and __asm Gnu keywords, extern templates(!))
--microsoft_union_with_array: This option allows :
union X {
int a;
char b[0]; // zero sized array
};
Defined implicitly in Microsoft mode
--microsoft_asm: Allows Microsoft _asm and __asm keyword. Defined implicitly in Microsoft mode.
--targ_size_t_int_kind: Allows to give the integer kind of the size_t type (this option is to be set if and only if the message "To correct the above error, add the following line in the .opp file of the target package: --targ_size_t_int_kind <number>" is emitted).
--void_star_null_pointer: Allows the compatibility between (void *)0 and any pointer type.
--type_info_in_namespace_std: Allows the declaration of the RTTI type_info class in the std namespace, rather than in the global namespace
--inline_not_yet_defined: Allows a referenced but undefined member function that is either extern-inline or has internal linkage.
--template_note_code_at_declaration
Only significant when using Runtime Tracing with Template Notes forces the Runtime Tracing instrumentation to generate the code of an unspecialized template method inside the template class; this method calls a specialized method; some compilers does not accept the default generation, i.e. the definition of the unspecialized method after the definition of the specialized one implicit in Microsoft mode.
-L <file.txt>: Debug mode only: generates the given file showing how macros have been expended. Only used by atostart.
Attolcc1 migration to Attolccp
Migrating parser customization for attolcc1 to customization for attolccp could be as simple as copying the selective list of pragma from the Attolcc1 adaptation for C part to Header adaptation for C part inside #ifdef NEED_ATTOLCCP_DEFS block. Unfortunately some of them may have their equivalence already defined and so, does not require additional customization.
The selective list of pragma is as follow:
#pragma attol pragma <ident> = <ident>
#pragma attol type_modifier
#pragma attol stop_analyze_pragma <ident>
#pragma attol start_analyze_pragma <ident>
#pragma attol fctreduce "<new-keyword>"
#pragma attol nothing_before_pragma <ident>
#pragma attol as_implementation <ident>
#pragma attol prefix_call
To summarize:
The migration from attolcc1 to attolccp should not require extra work as far as the instrumentation works. Any C code instrumentation issue must be analyzed to find the corresponding customization from the Attolcc1 adaptation for C part to be reported to the Header adaptation for C part.
Parser Settings
This section contains two package specifications for each language (Ada83 and Ada): the standard package and the system package. The generated files are located into the “ana” sub-directory. This information usually can be found in the compiler delivery location or documentation.
Note: It is not necessary to compile the packages located in the "ana" directory. These files are there uniquely for the Test RealTime programs so that they can adapt to the predefined packages that come with your compiler. you need to verify that the definitions in these specifications are the same as the definition your compiler uses.

Useful Perl Routines

The goal of this section is not to re-write Perl documentation, which can be found at the URL http://www.perl.com/. But some useful code can be found here.
To help you write the functions contained in atl_cc.pl, atl_link.pl and atl_exec.pl, which are atl_cc, atl_cpp and atl_link, atl_exec and atl_execdbg, here is a list of very useful functions and lines:

String replace in Perl variables:

$str = LocaleStringReplace( $from, $regexpr, $by )
Where $from is a string variable in which LocaleStringReplace will replace the pattern $regexpr with the sub-string $by. $str is the modified string. $from is not modified.
Note that all special characters are available in $by and $regexpr as long as they are Perl-compliant, that means especially that the backslash symbol is "\\". Furthermore, as $regexpr is a string that represents a Perl regular expression, every backslash in $regexpr must be protected with an extra backslash. That means that the pattern "\n" which represents a carriage return in Perl, must be written as "\\n" in $regexpr, and the pattern "\\" which represents a single backslash in Perl, must be written as "\\\\" in $regexpr.

Examples:
LocaleStringReplace ("c:/program files/rational", "/", "\\"); will return "c:\program files\rational".
LocaleStringReplace ("c:/program files/rational", "/", "\\\\"); will return "c:\\program files\\rational".
LocaleStringReplace ("c:\program files\rational", "\\\\", "\\\\"); will return "c:\\program files\\rational".
LocaleStringReplace ("I am very very cold ", " ve.* c", ""); will return "I am very old"

Perl variables containing file names:

All backslashes must be repeated.
my $ccPath = " C:\\Tornado\\host\\x86-win32\\bin";
The following syntax, equivalent to the previous one, may be preferred:
my $ccPath = " C:/Tornado/host/x86-win32/bin";
Backslashes in Perl variables can be doubled using the following experssion: $myFilePathName =LocaleStringReplace( $myFilePathName, "\\\\", "\\\\" )

Perl variables containing quotes or double quotes:

All special character must be preceeded by a backslash.
my $i = "\"-Ic:\\Tornado\\target\\h\"";
Translate a reference to an array $Includes into a scalar variable containing “-Ipath1 –Ipath2”

My $Includes=shift; #Given as parameter my $includes = ""; foreach ( @$Includes ) {$includes .= " -I$_" ;}

or
$includes="-I".join(" –I",@$Includes);
Some compilers require that if an element in the Includes list contains a white space, the –I option should double-quoted.
This example would become:
my $includes = ""; foreach ( @$Includes ) {$includes .= " –I\"$_\"" ;}

The same algorithm is applicable to the $Defines array.
Use of .ini fields

Any field specified in the tp.ini, tpcpp.ini, ada83.ini or ada95.ini can be retrieved by accessing
$Ini{'FIELDNAME'}

Use of predefined Test RealTime variables

$BINDIR: Contains the bin directory where executables can be found:
<InstallDir>/bin/intel/win32

$TARGETDIR: Contains the root directory of the Target Deployment Port using short directory name.
$LP_TARGETDIR: Contains the root directory of the Target Deployment Port using long directory name.
For example:
<InstallDir>/targets/cNewTdp

$INTDIR: Contains an intermediate working directory, consisting by default of the concatenation of the workspace directory and the directory name of the choosen Target Deployment Port. This can be modified in the Test RealTime user interface (Settings->General->Directories->Temporary)
For example, its value may be:
C:\MyTest\TdpDev\TdpDev_myuserId\cNewTdp, or
CNewTdp

$WORKSPACE_PATH: contains the workspace directory path that should be the current directory.

Register intermediate files to studio

Compilers may generate temporary files that need to be removed when the user cleans the node. To do so these files have to be known by studio. This can be done using the following:
RegisterTmpFiles(@tmpFiles);
Example:
my @tmpFiles=("$INTDIR/$name.tmp", “$exe.map”); RegisterTmpFiles(@tmpFiles);
Get the shortpath name of the longpath

On Windows, some tools don't accept paths with whitespaces. So the shortpath must be computed for each path. This can be done using the following:
$shortpath = ShortPathName( $longpath );
Example:
ShortPathName("c:\\program files\\rational") will return "c:\\progra~1\\rational".

Get the absolutePath of the relative path

Compiler may require absolute path instead of relative one. So the absolutePath must be computed for each path. This can be done using the following:
$abspath = absolutePath( $relpath, $fromPath ); or
$abspath = absolutePath( $relpath ); #if $fromPath is not specified the GetCurrentDir() function is called to use the current dir instead.
Example:
absolutePath ("../../src/file.c","c:\\program files\\rational") will return "c:/src/file.c".

Grep a line in a file

You may need to make things only if a line or part of a line is found in a file. This function return 1 if the first parameter is found in the file specified by the second parameter.
Example:
If(FindOutOptionInFile("--old_style_preprocessing","$TARGETDIR/ana/atl.opp"))

Replace strings found using a regular expression in a file
You may need to replace strings by other ones. This function return 1 if at least 1 string to replace has been found in the input file.
$found= ReplaceInFile(\%stringReplace, $origineFile, $destFile);
Note the string to replace is a regular expression. So use \Qmystring\E if you do not want this functinality. If the destFile is empty (‘’) the origineFile is modified
Example: my %stringReplace; $stringReplace{'before'}="after"; #to replace before by after $stringReplace{'up'}="down"; #and replace up by down $found= ReplaceInFile( \%stringReplace, $File);

Use of environment variables

Any environment variable can be retrieved or set using the syntax:
$ENV{'VARIABLENAME'}="NewValue"; # Set the variable
or
my $value=$ENV{'VARIABLENAME'}; #Read the variable

The environment variable can be set by default in the user’s environment, or can be specified in the ini file using the syntax
ENV_VARIABLENAME="Value"
See the "Initial Settings" chapter for details.

Run a command

my $ret=SystemP("Command With Args");
or
my $ret=SystemP("Program","With","Args");

SystemP prints the command and executes it via the regular system Perl command. It returns the exit code of the executed command.

Run a command on Windows, within a DOS tool

my $ret=SystemP("$ENV{'COMSPEC'} /c start /w Command");

$ENV{'COMSPEC'} contains the Dos-Shell path. The /w flag indicates that the next step can’t proceed until this command finishes executing.
Copy a File

The following commands will copy File1 to File2.
copy("File1.txt","File2.txt");
copy($File1,$File2);

Rename a File

The following commands will rename File1 to File2.
RenameFile("File1.txt","File2.txt");
RenameFile($File1,$File2);
Returns 1 on success.
Returns 0 on error.

Suppress a File

unlink(“FileName”);
unlink($fileName);

Get Current Directory

my $pwd=GetCurrentDir(); print "Current Directory is $pwd\n";
Note : some directory are already defined.

Change Directory

my $ret=chdir("NewDir");
Returns 0 on success, anything else on error.

Create a new Directory

my $ret=mkdir("NewDir",0777);
Returns 0 on success, anything else on error.

Get Dirname/Basename/Extension of a file

my ($dirname,$basename,$extension)= SplitFileName ("\"C:\\Program Files\\Rational\\TestRealTime\\targets\\cNewTdp\\tp.ini\"");
$basename contains "tp"
$dirname contains "C:\\Program Files\\Rational\\TestRealTime\\targets\\cNewTdp\\"
$extension contains "ini"

Test the existence of a regular file

if ( -f "FileName") { # File Exists }

Test the existence of a directory

if ( -d "DirName") { # Directory Exists }

Open a file for read, open a file for write

If(open (INFILE,"<InFileForRead.txt") {
If (open(OUFILE,">OutFileForWrite.txt") { while(<INFILE>) { chomp; #Suppress the new line at the end if any print OUFILE “That is a line coming from InFile: ".$_."\n"; } close(OUFILE);
} else {
print "Cannot open file for write\n";
}
close(INFILE);
} else {
print "Cannot open file for read\n";
}
decode a debugger log file containing atl_buffer dump in hexa
Example:
sub decode($$) { my ($in,$out)=@_; if(open(IN,"<$in")) { if(open(OU,">$out") { $On=0; while(<IN>) { #print $_ if(/atl_buffer/); # try to find the begin of the dump part # (sometimes the variable name is written into the log file) $On=1 if(/atl_buffer/); # choose here the appropriate translation format in accordance # with your dump file or write a new one #next unless(s/^\s*0x(..)(..)(..)(..).*$/$1 $2 $3 $4/); # next unless(s/^\s*(..)(..)(..)(..) (..)(..)(..)(..) (..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..)(..).*$/$4 $3 $2 $1 $8 $7 $6 $5 $12 $11 $10 $9 $16 $15 $14 $13/); next unless(s/^.*:((\s[0-9A-Fa-f]{2}){16}).*$/$1/); # format used by visionClick #print $_; foreach(split(/\s+/)) { $On=0 if(/00/); print OU chr hex($_) if($On); # print chr hex($_) if($On); } } close(OU); } else { print "Cannot open file for write\n"; } close(INFILE); } else { print "Cannot open file for read\n"; } }
the above perl proc will decode 16 hexa codes separated by white space, once atl_buffer is found in the file. The translation will stop when 00 (end of the current buffer) is found.
>md atl_buffer 0x80
