Action Plan

Check if the issue is about include links between C++ source files.
In C++ there is a directive ( “#pragma once”) which informs the compiler that ‘.h’ file must be included only one time in the C++ source code.
For example, if C++ source file (a.h) contains this directive and this file is included by two other source files (b.cpp and c.cpp), then the C++ analyzer will take into account only the first include directive that it encounter (eg in b.cpp).
So a link will be created between the two files (a.h and b.cpp), and all other #include directives will be ignored and no more include link will be created to the file a.h (c.cpp —> a.h).
1. To investigate about this get the preprocessed file.
Check if the issue is about links which are missing between procedure and table.
Issue may be encountered if there is any bad character (some thing like [] which when opened in notepad++ will be seen as SUB ) in the procedure of any file, so in parser, it does not recognize this character and it stops parsing. So Proc is not analyzed.
1. Get the PreprocessedFile.cpp, to check this.
2. Open PreprocessedFile.cpp in notepad++ and search for the bad char SUB.
3. Open the concerned file and remove the bad char from that file If there are any bad char.
4. Reanalyze the job.
If the above cases are not relevant, contact CAST Technical Support. with Relevant Input

Step by Step Scenario

CMS Snapshot Analysis - Run Analyzer - Missing or Wrong Links per technology - UA - wrong links are made in comments

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Problem Description

For UA languages (for e.g. OSTAR etc),the option “search in comments” is not activated in the reference finder, still links are made for comments.

Release	Yes/No

8.1.x	✅
8.0.x	✅
7.3.x	✅
7.2.x	✅
7.0.x	✅

Action Plan

The reason of this is that when Reference finder reads the code of the files, it trims each line.
Therefore the regular expression is false for RF, and the comment is considered as code.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose (problem description)

This guide gives the approach to troubleshoot missing or wrong / incorrect links between AngularJS objects.

Some syntaxes or patterns were not supported in early versions of the AngularJS Extension, which led to missing or wrong links.

This page provides a chart of those syntaxes, along with the version in which they were taken into account.
