how is it possible to mark a parameter as call-by-value for delphi code generation?
Currently all my parameters are generated as call-by-reference => “var”-keyword is prefixed!
But what is with methods like: setXY(var newValue : LongInt) ?
I don’t want to pass the parameter by reference…
And how can I apply this setting, if it exists, to an attribute marked with the stereotype “Property” => I want the setter-param is also generated as call-by-value…
Thank you for your post. Having discussed your case, we decided to determine whether a parameter should pass by value or by reference by checking the value of in/out property (You can see in the Parameter specification). Concerning the getter/setter, we are considering to change it to pass by value. I will keep you informed on any news about those reported issues.
To use it, just execute, and overwrite the old installation. This patch is for VP-UML version 7.0. Please make sure your license key supports it.
Changes:
Check the in/out value for parameter to determine whether the parameter will pass by value or reference:
in = by value
inout = by reference
out = by reference
return = by reference
P.S.:
May you decide to implement a setting/stereotype for fields (with sterotype property assigned) to switch the setter-parameter to by-ref or by-val… But for now your patch works
Glad to know that it’s working as expected. I am uncertain to Delphi, but I will pass your opinion to our team for further studies. Will let you know if you will support your request. Thanks for your suggestion!
