RE: (ROSE) Creating a RoseRT model from legacy C code

[Hart, James]

Hello Torsten, There is no way to reverse engineer the C code into RoseRT. Reverse engineering code is done with the C++ Analyzer and generally does a poor job at reversing  C code. The way to handle this would be to create an interface within RoseRT that calls into the C library. That way you can re-use the tested C code without modifying it. In the RoseRT help, take a look at the Integrating Data model. This shows how you can integrate existing code that is in a library into a new model. Hope this helps.

Other parts probably have to be designed from scratch.   Is it possible to generate a model from the existing C code as a starting pint for restructuring ?     I would very much appreciate any help !   Best regards Torsten Hannemann Ericsson Eurolab Deutschland GmbH
