Manage Dependencies

Model RealTime typically does not require dependencies to be created for types within the RTClasses package during standard use. However, when exporting the model using the Art Exporter, these dependencies are required. This ensures that the Art Exporter generates the necessary #include directives in the exported header files.

To configure these dependencies correctly, do the following:

1. Review your Model RealTime classes and identify attributes or operations that use types from RTClasses package:

   

2. Add the dependency to your model before exporting:

   • Open your model's Properties dialog.
   • Navigate to the Dependencies tab.
   • Add a dependency to the type within RTClasses (and not the RTClasses package itself).
   • Apply and save the changes.

   

3. Run the Art Exporter. It will generate the appropriate include directives:

   #include <RTBoolean.h>
   #include <RTPointer.h>
   
   class [[rt::auto_descriptor]] DataClass
   {
   public:
       RTBoolean a;
       RTPointer b;
       DataClass( void );
       virtual ~DataClass( void );
       DataClass( const DataClass & rtg_arg );
       DataClass & operator=( const DataClass & rtg_arg );
   };
   

If compilation of the generated code fails with unknown type name errors, verify that the dependencies are added to all types in RTClasses before exporting.
