No types in attributes and no generalization (C++ Instant Reverse)

General Questions/Discussions
1

Bonjour,

We try to reverse our C++ code with SDE for Visual Studio product.

We succeed to reverse the C++ code of all Class. But when we look in the specification of attributes and operations, no type as specified for the attributes and no return types for the operations. When with insert the class in a class diagram the generalization as not show beetween class with generalisation.

We first try to use the Update UML Model obtain via the contextuel menu of the project but many class are forget in the importation process. So we used the Instant Reverse for C++ to obtain the class.

We also try the same option in the VP-UML product and we obtain the same result.

For the test, we used VS2008 under Windows Vista.

Thank you for your help, Sylvain Comtois

Hi Sylvain Comtois,

Sorry for the delay. If you are using Visual C++ code, Instant Reverse will not help because it supports reverse ANSI C++. We are able to repeat the problem of ignored classes with Update to UML in SDE for Visual Studio (SDE-VS), and our engineers are still investigating this issue. If there is any news, I’ll definitely notify you.

Best regards,
