AW: (ROSE) reverse engineering

Title: AW: (ROSE) reverse engineering

Harvinder,   The best shot would be to use the template mechanism. For more information about this you need to check out the online help. Best way (to reduce the searching space:-) would be to open the model assistant on a class and then select the help button.   Within the help, select the topic: Rose Visual C++ :: Concepts :: Code Templates   The trick would be to define standard templates for the body and the operation.   I'm not too experienced with VC++ (and C++ neither:-), so if someone else might give us a hint about how to efficiently manage Macros... Girls&Boys out there!   Kind regards, Volker -----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- Von: harvinder singh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet: Freitag, 18.

Generation of Trace Macros     MyClass::foo()     {         TRACE("MyClass","foo",LEVEL_1);           //    file processing         //    .................     }       The Trace Macro is used for the debugging purpose, where in I need three arguments. Now Question is how to generate this code from the Rose while doing the forward engineering.   2. Generation of Comments //------------------------------------------------------------      // Name:        CHPFMSvrWorkFiles::SetServerFileNames // Func:         Set server file names // Param:       THPFM_FileNameVector &f_rFileVector // Return:       None // Exception:  None  // Note:         None //------------------------------------------------------------      void CHPFMSvrWorkFiles::SetServerFileNames(THPFM_FileNameVector &f_rFileVector) {       m_ServerFileNameVector = f_rFileVector; }     I think if we set the comments properly in the rose diagram, then while doing the forward engineering can these comments be generated, In the fashion shown here ? Also will it be possible for Rose to understand these comments while doing the reverse engineering.     Thanks and Regards Harvinder Singh   ----- Original Message ----- From: Kopetzky, Volker To: harvinder singh ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 1:17 AM Subject: AW: (ROSE) reverse engineering Harvinder, the general design of Rose's language addins is that the generation process is a black box. You can influence/control the code generation by setting the properties and settings specific to the addin. For VC++, you can set properties for various UML elements, like class, members, components (aka the VC++ project), etc and some general settings (menu tools::VC++::preferences). Also, you can trigger the code generation using the REI (that would be more to explain, check out scrptref.hlp in the Rose/help directory about using events). If you might shed some light on what you plan to achieve, we may be able to help you with more detailed answers.

Is there a way in which we can control the reverse engineering process? probably using a script. I am specifically looking for VC++. I am sure someone is there who might have done something on this front. Thanks Harvinder
