By default #include statements are not inserted into files for dependency relationships when generating C++ code from UML models in Sparx Enterprise Architect – this is a bit annoying but we are well used to UML editors doing annoying things so at least it’s not a terrible surprise!<\/p>\n
In Enterprise Architect’s defence it is quite easy to add this missing functionality. In order to get it to generate #include statements we have to edit two of the code generation templates: “Import” and “Import Section”.<\/p>\n
To edit the templates go to the “Settings \/ Code Generation Templates…”, menu and you should see a list of the templates on the left-hand side of the screen.<\/p>\n
Change the “Import” template so that it looks like this:<\/p>\n
\r\n$file = %importFileName%\r\n%if $file == \"\" or importInFile==\"T\" or $file == fileName%\r\n%endTemplate%\r\n\r\n#include \"$file\"\r\n<\/pre>\nAnd then change the “Import Section” template so that it looks like this:<\/p>\n
\r\n$COMMENT=\"WARNING: THIS IS AN ADVANCED TEMPLATE\"\r\n$COMMENT=\"DO NOT MODIFY UNLESS YOU ARE AN\"\r\n$COMMENT=\"ADVANCED USER!\"\r\n\r\n$imports += %list=\"Import\" @separator=\"\\n\" importFromDependency==\"T\"%\r\n%REMOVE_DUPLICATES($imports, \"\\n\")%\r\n\r\n\r\n%fileImports%\r\n\r\n<\/pre>\nNow when you generate C++ code from your modle #include statements should be inserted to satisify dependency relationships.<\/p>\n
