| 11 | I- Functionnal changes:
|
|---|
| 12 | =======================
|
|---|
| 13 |
|
|---|
| 14 | I-1 Configuration & version management
|
|---|
| 15 | --------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 16 |
|
|---|
| 17 | Application storage has been changed to enable lower grain configuration
|
|---|
| 18 | and version management. Now, all the information regarding a HOOD module
|
|---|
| 19 | of the hierarchy is stored inside a unique directory named as the module.
|
|---|
| 20 | It becomes possible to load or save a particular module or branch of the
|
|---|
| 21 | hierarchy independently.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | New menu items have been added for that purpose:
|
|---|
| 24 | - "reload" and "save" in the contextual menu of the root modules area of the main editor
|
|---|
| 25 | - "reload" and "save" in the contextual menu of the modules area of the main editor
|
|---|
| 26 | - "reload" and "save" in the Window menu of the graphic editor
|
|---|
| 27 | - "import" in the Edit menu of the graphic editor
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | New storage mecanism is activated by the ModularSave property of the initialization
|
|---|
| 30 | file (stood.ini or .stoodrc). Default value is now: Yes. Old storage format (Stood.dg)
|
|---|
| 31 | is still loaded, but will be converted into the new format (Stood.sto) at next save.
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | Configuration management interface has been improved, and now provides:
|
|---|
| 34 | - the ability to specify a version for "checkin" and "checkout" actions
|
|---|
| 35 | - the ability to checkout in read-only mode
|
|---|
| 36 | - the ability to create several shell scripts to interface with various configuration
|
|---|
| 37 | managers. Default is a simple copy from/to local space to/from storage spaces. These
|
|---|
| 38 | shell scripts (copyin.sh and copyout.sh) are located within config/internalTools directory.
|
|---|
| 39 |
|
|---|
| 40 | These features are controled by several properties in the initialization file:
|
|---|
| 41 | - ConfMgrActivated : new default value is: Yes
|
|---|
| 42 | - Versions : default values are: Default,Draft,Final,Tested
|
|---|
| 43 | - CheckInProcedure : default value is: copyin
|
|---|
| 44 | - CheckOutProcedure : default value is: copyout
|
|---|
| 45 |
|
|---|
| 46 | I-2 Requirements traceability
|
|---|
| 47 | -----------------------------
|
|---|
| 48 |
|
|---|
| 49 | In the "requirements editor", it is now possible to show a comment describing each requirement.
|
|---|
| 50 | This comment may be edited for local requirements only (derived requirements). To edit a comment,
|
|---|
| 51 | use the "Change comment" item of the "Edit" menu.
|
|---|
| 52 | All requirements may now be deleted with the "Delete" item of the "Edit" menu.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | Requirements may still be imported from an ASCII file, and now also by sending a query to Reqtify,
|
|---|
| 55 | the TNI's tool to manage requirements traceability for a whole project. To import requirements
|
|---|
| 56 | from Reqtify, load a Reqtify project file (*.rqtf) instead of a catalog file (*.txt)
|
|---|
| 57 |
|
|---|
| 58 | In order for Stood to find Reqtify, a new property has been added to the initialization file
|
|---|
| 59 | (stood.ini or .stoodrc). This property is named ReqtifyPath and should contain a valid path to
|
|---|
| 60 | the main executable file of Reqtify.
|
|---|
| 61 |
|
|---|
| 62 | Other properties have been modified in the initialisation file:
|
|---|
| 63 | - Reference : specifies the syntax to insert and recognize a reference to a requirement.
|
|---|
| 64 | Default value is: (cf.$1) where $1 is the name of a requirement
|
|---|
| 65 | - Define : specifies the syntax to insert and recognize the declaration of a requirement
|
|---|
| 66 | Default value is: (def.$1) where $1 is the name of a requirement
|
|---|
| 67 |
|
|---|
| 68 | The "requirements checker" has been modified to generate file named _checks/Output to provide an
|
|---|
| 69 | appropriate interface to Reqtify.
|
|---|
| 70 |
|
|---|
| 71 | I-3 Ada reverse engineering
|
|---|
| 72 | ---------------------------
|
|---|
| 73 |
|
|---|
| 74 | The Ada2HOOD reverse engineering utility has been intregrated into Stood. It is now possible
|
|---|
| 75 | to directly create a new HOOD design from a set of Ada source files.
|
|---|
| 76 | This command is available from the main editor, through a new item "Create from Ada" in the
|
|---|
| 77 | pop-up menu of the "root modules" list.
|
|---|
| 78 |
|
|---|
| 79 | To be able to launch Ada2HOOD from Stood, a new property has been added to the initialization file
|
|---|
| 80 | (stood.ini or .stoodrc). This property is an environment variable named REVERSE and its default value
|
|---|
| 81 | is: $TOOL/config/ada2hood
|
|---|
| 82 |
|
|---|
| 83 | I-4 Code generators
|
|---|
| 84 | -------------------
|
|---|
| 85 |
|
|---|
| 86 | Recent improvements to the Ada code generator:
|
|---|
| 87 | - ADA162 (17.01.01) pragma const_enum may now be set at terminal level (cf.RASTO/01.008)
|
|---|
| 88 | - ADA163 (17.01.01) pragma const_enum now takes into account pragma renames_constant (cf.RASTO/01.008)
|
|---|
| 89 | - ADA164 (21.02.01) removes ADA_INCLUDE_PATH and ADA_LIBRARY_PATH in GNAT command file
|
|---|
| 90 | - ADA165 (15.05.01) new pragma priority (cf.RASTO/01.027)
|
|---|
| 91 | - ADA166 (12.06.01) faster algorithm for declarations ordering
|
|---|
| 92 | - ADA167 (13.06.01) removing explicit reference to Standard package in constants renaming
|
|---|
| 93 |
|
|---|
| 94 | I-5 HOOD rules checker
|
|---|
| 95 | ----------------------
|
|---|
| 96 |
|
|---|
| 97 | Recent improvements to the HOOD rules checker:
|
|---|
| 98 | - HOOD001 (17.May.2001) in C6, fixing pb with implemented_by sub classes
|
|---|
| 99 | - HOOD002 (17.May.2001) U17 is implicitly checked by code generation
|
|---|
| 100 | - HOOD003 (17.May.2001) in C18, no more errors for abstract and inherited ops
|
|---|
| 101 | - HOOD004 (17.May.2001) restricting O6 to terminal modules
|
|---|
| 102 | - HOOD005 (17.May.2001) in C5, removing C5_2 and same change as C6
|
|---|
| 103 | - HOOD006 (25.Jun.2001) changing G6 for non case sensitive use of environments (cf.RASTO/01.045)
|
|---|
| 104 | - HOOD007 (25.Jun.2001) in C5 and C6, ignoring environments
|
|---|
| 105 |
|
|---|
| 106 | I-6 Miscallenous
|
|---|
| 107 | ----------------
|
|---|
| 108 |
|
|---|
| 109 | - A newer version of the "bash" utility is now provided with Stood. This should solve problems
|
|---|
| 110 | encountered under Windows 98. On PC, it is now possible to define DOS command files instead of shell
|
|---|
| 111 | scripts. Each time Stood finds a ".bat" file instead of a ".sh" file on a PC, the first one will
|
|---|
| 112 | be used.
|
|---|
| 113 | - External tools may now be launched in detached mode. To activate this feature, the first line sof
|
|---|
| 114 | the shell script must contain:
|
|---|
| 115 | #!/bin/sh
|
|---|
| 116 | # Stood:NoWait
|
|---|
| 117 | This change may be required to launch tools like "pcgrasp"
|
|---|
| 118 | - Two properties have been added ton the initialization file (stood.ini or .stoodrc) to control
|
|---|
| 119 | the size of the memory allocation of all the sbprolog post processors:
|
|---|
| 120 | SBPROLOG_M_SIZE (default value: 500000 bytes)
|
|---|
| 121 | SBPROLOG_P_SIZE (default value: 500000 bytes)
|
|---|
| 122 | - Changes have been made to the C lexical analyser to parse hexadecimal constants and exponants
|
|---|
| 123 | - Changes have been made to the Ada lexical analyser to parse quoted operators
|
|---|
| 124 | - New icons have been associated to the buttons in all windows. The .bmp format for the icons may
|
|---|
| 125 | now be used for both Windows and Unix versions.
|
|---|
| 126 | - The examples have been converted to the new save format and delivered in a compressed version.
|
|---|
| 127 | To be loaded, they must be extracted with a "Check out" of the "Default" version
|
|---|
| 128 |
