RT-Tester 6.0-6.3.1 now available (maintenance)

New Features

1. New Utility script rtt-refresh-license:

   • This helps to update a license file for renewal (implements FR #14559)

2. Enum Preprocessing (rtt_prep_enum):

   • The generated functions rttEnum2Str_<enum_t> now never return NULL; in case of unknown / unmapped inputs the return value is the string constant “*UNEXPECTED*” (implements feature request #7416)

3. Utility script rtt-swi-info:

   • added option ‘--has-hlrt’ to check for hard real-time (HRLT) support

Improvements

1. User Manual:

   • added section on system() calls and SIGCHLD handler

   • clarify that @s() does not add a log entry for the empty-queue case (compare #13668)

   • revised sigset section: order of parameters in the signature now dictates order of occurrences in the table below (improves #14525)

   • adjusted recorded RTTverdict_t order to the implementation

   • include references to examples in the DEMO project;

2. DEMO project (rtt-create-project -u DEMO):

   • added use of code generation for signals (rtt-expand-sigdef)

3. Robustness Changes:

   • Stub Generation (rttprep_stubs): use late expansion of PRI*{32,64} macros in order to allow build-time and compile-time compilers to have different resolutions

   • src/Makefile: more consequent clean-up

   • Enum Preprocessing (rtt_prep_enum): within enum definitions, allow _id(<something>) this is apparently used by MacOS gcc 6.0 (clang-600.0.57) for terms like __attribute__((availability(macosx,introduced=10.10))) (e.g. in /usr/include/time.h)

4. documentation (rtt-doc-test / templates):

   • removed references to unnecessary ‘boxedminipage’ (which is not present for CentOS-7, see #11636)

   • better wording for list of test cases (see #5855#c29486)

Bugfixes

1. Header RTTcontext.h:

   • moved inclusion of header “rtt_prj_time_scale.h” before the user includes (fixes #14664)

2. Enum dependencies in rtt-compile-test:

   • global enum print functions are invalidated (re-created) when project.rtp changes (fixes #5956)

   • local enum print functions are invalidated (re-created) for the non-update case (analogous to above)

3. log entry functions for pointers (@uut / @rttCall / stubs):

   • revise the insertion logic with respect to PR#5819

   • remove surplus whitespace for @format directives

   • adjust the IN/OUT parameter length offset
