Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

RSARTE: Add flag to disable common inclusion

The code generator will generate a first #include to the common generated header file (i.e. Unit name in the TC) for every generated header and cpp file. Capsules, protocols and some data classes need this, but even a model with capsules typically contains many classes that have no reliance on the target services library (a.k.a. RTS) whatsoever.

So from a perspective of minimizing dependencies in source files, the automatically added inclusion is not great. In addition it generates a dependency file for EVERY class that has 135 elements for the RTS alone. For large models this is bound to have an effect on incremental compilation since 'make' will spend more type analyzing dependencies.

Consider adding a checkbox somewhere that makes the code generator NOT generate this inclusion. The granularity is on a per class basis.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. Since the creation time of this ideas the product has evolved and your input may have been incorporated into newer releases.

    Should this be not the case, please feel free to recreate it in our new Idea workspace for DevOps Model and Code RealTime (Please find here a blog how to achieve that: https://community.ibm.com/community/user/wasdevops/blogs/osman-burucu/2024/01/04/how-to-add-new-idea-for-devops-model-architect-and)


    The idea will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and may still be voted on. It might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback in the future. We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us the privilege of partnering with you in developing our products.
