Type Library

The type library provides the user with an interface to define complex types, further than the pre-existing fundamental types you get in MARTe2.

The basic types are defined as: https://vcis.f4e.europa.eu/marte2-docs/master/html/core/types/types.html?highlight=types

Opening the type database

You can open the type database from the main menu at Advanced->Type Database.

File Menu

The file menu operations allow you to:

• Import: You can import a set of header files stored within a directory to the type database.

• Export: You can export the type database to a directory as a set of header files.

• Exit: Exits the application

Note

The applicatin does not store types in MARTe2 compatible type definitions as those headers are highly complex. The MARTe2 compatible headers are generated during the compilation stage.

Adding/Removing types

You can add or remove types from your type database via the buttons indicated below.

You can select to rename a type in the type name and then configure the elements of a type with the type definition panel section.

Note

You cannot modify the Version number, this is automatically incremented whenever you make a change to a type and save it. Old versions are backed up in an internal archive available at ~/.xmarte/type_db/archive.

Configuring a Type

To configure a type you can use the buttons below to:

• Reset: the type to it’s initial definition from previous save.

• Save: Save the current type definition, increments the version name and backs up the old version to an internal archive.

• Add: Adds a new element to the type definition.

• Remove: removes the selected elements in the configuration panel from the type definition.

The type selection is auto-populating to give the user a definitive list of available types.

Note

the type selector loads existing complex types from within the type database as well as fundamental MARTe2 types.
