Function syntax

Changes

void name <in/out arguments list> [,code_parameters] [,diagnostic_info] )

  • name - function name
  • code_parameters - optional - user defined input parameters
  • diagnostic_info -  arbitrary output diagnostic information

  • in/out arguments list
  •  mandatory
  • a list of input and output function arguments including:
  • CPP intrisic data types, eg:
    • int &x
    • double &y
  • IDSes, eg:Argument of type:

  • ItmNs::Itm::equilibriumArray & eq
  • 3.3 Code parameters

  • Optional
  • User defined input parameters

  • A structure codeparam_t describes:
    • parameters - Actual value of the code parameters (instance of coparam/parameters in XML format).
    • default_param - Default value of the code parameters (instance of coparam/parameters in XML format).
    • schema - Code parameters schema.

    /**** Arbitrary diagnostic info ***/
    void diag_info
  • An example: ItmNs::codeparam_t & codeparam
  • 3.4 Diagnostic info

  • arbitrary output diagnostic information
  • output / optional

    Code Block
    languagecpp
    void name
    (...., int* 
    output_flag
    outFlag, char** 
    diagnostic_info)
  • output_flag - indicates if user subroutine was successfully executed

    • output_flag = 0  - SUCCESS, no action is taken

    • output_flag > 0  - WARNING, a warning message is displayed, workflow continuue execution

    • output_flag < 0  - ERROR, actor throws an exception, workflow stops

  • diagnostic_info - an arbitrary string

  • Warning

    Required header

    Do not forget to add #include "UALClasses.h" while playing with IDSes!

    4.2.3 Delivery of the user code

    The user code should be delivered as a static library.
    Please find examples of the simple "Makefile" below:
