1.0 Code Review for C

None

2.0 Component Test for Ada

2.1 APAR # PK71439

When testing a record in which an element is of aconstrained type that has not yet been initialised, an exception may be raised during the initialisation of this record by the VAR instruction.
The workaround is to initialise the record when it is declared.

3.0 Component Test for C

3.1 APAR # PK79720

User interface terminates abnormally when opening a very large Component Testing for C report as it runs out of memory and can not allocate memory to display an error message.

3.2 APAR # PK85935

Component Testing for C test script compiler may wrongly detect a syntax error on a typedef declaration using a forward reference.

4.0 Component Test for C++

None

5.0 Component Test for Java

5.1 APAR # PK69186

On Windows, when a non-Administrator user attempts to build a Java project in Test RealTime (Runtime Analysis/Component Testing), he gets the following build error on subsequent build attempts: jdk1.4.0„com„rational„testrealtime„Products.java containing Java TDP Library settings.

6.0 Documentation - TestRT

6.1 APAR # PK71612

In Component Testing for Ada, when using the expression "ev=init" in a VAR statement, the pseudo variable "init" should be evaluated after the execution of the code under test, and not before. This behaviour is different from the behaviour of Component Testing For C and should be clearly documented.

7.0 Eclipse Integration

7.1 RATLC01244805

When Rational Test RealTime 7.0.5 Eclipse plug-in is installed on Rational Systems Developer 7.0.5 on Solaris 10 and when opening the Test execution test log, then the Eclipse UI freezes.

7.2 RATLC01244839

When using Test RealTime within Eclipse, and when trying to create a new component test for C, then selecting "create only C test component" in the wizard, then going to the next page, and then back again, and selecting "create empty test component", in that case, the Finish and Next buttons are grayed out.
Therefore, generating the test is not possible.

Workaround: Close the wizard and start over the test creation.

7.3 RATLC01244925

In the test suite editor in Eclipse for Component Testing for C on Linux, the initial height of the Test elements view is too small.

Workaround: click two times on the test element arrow to change the height back to normal.

7.4 RATLC01370676

When installing the Test RealTime Eclipse 3.4 plug-in, several wizard screens are only showing partial information. However the installation can still be performed successfully.

8.0 GUI - TestRT

8.1 RATLC01192961

The user interface does not detect TDPs contained in a directory whose name includes a Japanese character.

8.2 APAR # PK70674

When printing a large report file to a PostsScript file, the last page is truncated causing PostScript errors.

8.3 APAR # PK82326

The command line "studio -view project.rtp" does not open runtime trace reports.

8.4 APAR # PK83010

Studio does not parse the command line parameters correctly when there are spaces in the file names.

8.5 APAR # PK87244

On a RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.0 (base) environment, when the LANG environment variable is set to zh_CN.UTF-8 (Simplified Chinese) then Test RealTime will terminate with a SIGSEGV when clicking the OK/Cancel/Finish button in a number of locations in the GUI which include:

- File->Open...->Project...
- File->Open...->File...
- File->New->(Next until Finish is available)->Finish

Where the Open issues will only occur if you first select a file with the mouse and then click OK/Cancel.

This is possible via keyboard interaction with the File->Open dialog rather than mouse interaction.

17.0 Runtime Analysis

17.1 APAR # PK66620

When instantiating a template with a void parameter, and a method takes a parameter of the template instantiation type, the C++ instrumentor complains with an error message "parameter may not have void type".

17.2 APAR # PK73251

On Linux, Studio does not update the current file name or function name after you click on a function call hyperlink.

17.3 APAR # PK86576

The launcher "attolcc" does not handle correctly the option '-Wl,-(' -lpl_multi '-Wl,-)' .

17.4 APAR # PK88488

The C/C++ instrumentor (attolccp) generates incorrect code when instrumenting a return statement in a switch statement.

17.5 APAR # PK88499

C instrumentor (attolccp) generates incorrect code for coverage when instrumenting code using goto and label statements in a switch case.

18.0 System Testing for C

18.1 RATLC01248024

Limitation: the dynamic trace viewer for System Testing is not available when using it over an IPv6 network.

18.2 APAR # PK73553

Using the Wizard to create a new System Testing test, on page 4/7 "Generating New test Script", the Settings button does not work, the Settings window is not displayed.

19.0 Target Deployment Port

19.1 APAR # PK88122

TDP clinuxgnu2_95 gets instrumentor error for "__FUNCTION__"
