Find out what's new in the version 1.0 release of SCCharts!
What is ne=
w in SCCharts Version 1.0?
One main change is the new textual SCCharts syntax using the new .=
sctx
file extension. See Converting Legacy Models (sct) on how to convert y=
our existing models.
Control=
flow / Dataflow Hybrid-Models
- You can now add semantic comments to your SCCharts models (see Syntax#Comments<=
/a>)
- You can also alter the style of the comments to mark POI in your progra=
m
New Reference / Module Support / Experimental Inheritance
- The reference and module support for SCCharts has been reworked (see&nb=
sp;Syntax#R=
eferences)
- The content assist will help the modeler with the model bindings
- Multiple SCCharts models can be stored in one file
- SCCharts now supports experimental inheritance
For Region
- Regions can be duplicated automatically (see Syntax#ForRegions)
- For regions have access a unique iterator variable
Vectors
- You can now use vector values to assign arrays. (see Syntax#Vectors)
- Vectors can also be used in the dataflow models.
Further Exper=
imental Features
- Added Scheduling Directives
- Added Probabilistic Transitions
- Added timed automata support for SCCharts
New Expressions
- Expression language now supports infix assignment operators
- Expression language now supports bitwise xor and bitwise not
- Expression language now supports shift operators
- Expression language now supports the ternary conditional operator
- Operator precedences are now correctly mapped to the kexpressions model=
structure
- Improved host code expressions support
New Annotation=
s & Pragmas
- Added pragma support to differ between model element annotations and fi=
le specific pragmas
- Added unicode pragmas
- Added compiler pragmas
- Added generic layout annotations
SCCharts Syntax Cha=
nges
- Primes can be used in identifier
- Hostcode now uses accent grave (`)
- Function call syntax with angle brackets is considered deprecated. It c=
an still be accessed with the extern keyword
- Semicolon now exclusively stands for the sequence operator. By default =
you don't need a semicolon as line/command delimiter.
- To see a complete overview of the SCCharts syntax, please consult our <=
a href=3D"/confluence/display/KIELER/Syntax">SCCharts syntax page.

What=
is new in KIELER SCCharts Version 1.0?
New Compiler Framework (a.k.a. KiCo 3.0 a.k.a. KiCool)
- Compilation systems are now models which can be configured and instanti=
ated at run-time
- Added pre-configured systems for all existing compilation approaches an=
d tests
- Redone all associated views
- Added multi-select in side-by-side mode
- Integrated model element tracing
- Integrated valued object meta information
New Code Gen=
eration for SCCharts
- The code generation now creates functions that can handle different sta=
tus instances of a program.
- The model status is generally saved to a dedicated struct.
- Added new state-based code generation approach for C
- Added new lean state-based code generation approach for C
- There now exist modular compilation systems for all supported compilati=
on approaches
- Netlist-based C
- Netlist-based Java
- Priority-based C
- Priority-based Java
- State-based C
- Lean State-based C
- All compilation systems have additional variants for simulation and tes=
ts
New Suppl=
ementary Code Generations
- Original Esterel
- SCEst
- Experimental compilation to Lustre
- Experimental compilation from Lustre
New Processors
- Besides the mandatory processors for the a.m. code generators there are=
several optional new processors for academic and experimental purposes
- generic SSA
- Loop analyses and compiler optimizations (e.g. copy & constant prop=
agation)
- External compiler invocation
- Arduino deployment
- Eclipse project setups
- Structural Depth Join (SDJ) for schizophrenic models
New Warnings &=
Errors
- Detailed reference warnings
- Label shadowing
Integrated Simulatio=
n
The simulation backend has been rewritten to be more lightweight, flexib=
le and transparent and to better integrate in the workflow.
Major new features are:
- Improved usability for simulations (one-click simulations)
- Support for arrays and internal variables, such as SCG guards
- Full integration of simulation code generation into KiCo and the projec=
t structure (KIELER-Temp project)
Simulation Visual=
ization
- Added dedication data view for simulation values
- Added live values inside the model diagram
- Simulation visualization view that links an SVG image to the program st=
ate, using a mapping and javascript commands defined in a kiviz file.
What is new in KIELER SCCharts Version 1.0 for D=
evelopers?
Grammar Changes
- A dash (-) is now available in ExtendedIDs. SCCharts States may now inc=
lude dashes in their IDs.
- Single underscore (_) IDs are no longer valid. Underscores prefix gener=
ated IDs or are Value keywords.
KExpressions
- Valued Objects in assignments and emissions are now valued object refer=
ences. Hence, they reuse the KExpressions concepts.
- If you
@inject KEffectsExtensions
, you can use the sa=
me syntax as before. Otherwise, assignment.reference
 =
;is the ValuedObjectReference
that points to the ref=
erenced ValuedObject. You can use the reference
as usual. Keep in mind that it is a containment.
Workflow
- The compiler framework now uses KiCo 3.0. Please consult the developer documentation of =
KiCo for further questions.
- The simulation framework now uses the V3 simulation based on KiCo 3.0. =
Please consult the de=
veloper documentation of the simulation for further questions.
- Most of the test cases now uses the models repository directly. You can=
specify the location of you models repository in the
models_rep=
ository
variable in your test launch configuration. =
Please consult the developer documentation of the test framework for further questions=
.
