Project Management

The general project meeting takes place in the Railwayroom, Tuesday at 16:00.

Development Environment

KIELER

Use the KIELER Nightly Build. Keep your version up-to-date.
You can update to a new version from within your running installation via Help > Check for updates. Thus it is not necessary to download the KIELER archive every time.

Use UTF-8 as codepage (especially when using Windows):

• General > Workspace
  • Text file encoding: UTF-8

It may be helpful to configure the following settings to avoid Resource is out of sync warnings in Eclipse:

• General > Workspace
  • Refresh using native hooks or polling: Check
  • Refresh on access
  • Save automatically before build

Code Style

General

Use an indentation of 2 Spaces:

• General > Text Editors
  • Insert Spaces for Tabs: Check
  • Displayed Tab Width: 2

SCT Style

Use the following conventions when modeling an SCChart:

• General order
  • inputs first
  • outputs second
  • internal variables third
  • regions and states afterwards
• Name all regions if you have at least two (no implicit region, unless there is only one)
• Naming
  • For semantically relevant names, use lower case with underscores (e.g. state some_long_state_name)
  • For labels and stuff that is intended to increase readability, use more natural english (e.g. state some_long_state_name "Wait for orders")

scchart {

  input bool trigger;
  output bool action0, action1;
  int fun;

  region first_region "Have fun":
  // State example
  initial state example_state
  --> example_state "Having fun"
    with trigger
    / action0 = true
    ; action1 = false
    ; fun++
  ;

  // Region
  region second_region "Do nothing concurrently":

  initial state init;
}

Git

Use git.

Pull before you start coding.

Add a commit message.

In case of non-trivial conflicts: ask.
