Download 8.0.0.4	19/04/2013	Current

Component	APAR / Internal ID	Description
Component Testing for C	PM79655	The use of setjmp/longjmp into a test script may lead to error: `_atl_stack_link' undeclared if runtime tracing is used. Workaround: insert the following line on top of the SERVICE or PTU script: #char _atl_stack_link; using 8.0.0.4 and later, enter the following line: on top of the script if the user need to use setjmp/longjmp with trace: #USE_SETJMP
GUI - TestRT	PM82902	The script file is not compiled as soon as the .ptu .otd .pts is changed to .PTU .OTD .PTS into the studio property even if the file uses the capital letter extension. Workaround: change the property to lower case as well as the file extension.
GUI - TestRT	PM83112	It takes longer time to export from menu File > Export > export the full project, than using menu Code Coverage > generate HTML even if only coverage is available.
Qualification Kit	RATLC02509242	When an user clicks on a method name in the metrics viewer the source file is opened with cursor at the top of the file instead of the line corresponding to the selected method.
Test RealTime for Eclipse IDE	RATLC02510025	Sometimes, icon status is not shown on the stub calls status or Test Case status or Test Harness status after execution. Workaround: change the run selection and select back the right run result.
Runtime Analysis	PM86165	one_level_metrics option is not recognized by metric computation for C (metcc1). Workaround: set to 'no' this option into studio settings Static Metrics.
Target Deployment Port	RATLC02510463	RFE: the TDP:Build settings:additional function: sub atl_stop is now executed when the user does a click on studio stop button during a build. All global variable are available ; the 2 parameters provide the pid of the build process and the process handle. The build process will be killed when this sub returns. See Stop.pl file in lib/scripts for more details

Component	APAR / Internal ID	Description
All	PM39899	The reference documentation for attolpreproC (-STD-DEFINE and -RENAME options), atlsplit, and rod2xrd was incomplete. Documentation has been updated.
Code Review for C	RATLC01814215	When the CRC file was over 100MB, the file was automatically split into source file per source file and into a summary file.
	PM47593	'Additional included system directories' setting for Code review was not taken into account when no part of TDP default included directories.
Component Testing for Ada	PK68190	The Ada Test Script Compiler generated dead code when testing certain variables. No plan to fix because most of the Ada compiler are able to remove automatically any dead code.
	PM42564	Too many WITHs resulted in 'Generation Failed' because of a too long -incl option on the command line. It is no longer necessary to change the TestScript.pl to remove the -incl option in ada_mode.
	PM47420	In Ada, stubs with 0 calls were displayed even though those stubs were not used.
	PM47843	When using init in (x) or ev in (x) and testing a variable (VAR line) when the variable x is an array, the index was not taken into account.
Component Testing for C	PM41919	Studio crashed when trying to export a very large report to HTML.
	PM44518	Typo mistake in Testing_C example (General.ptu) #foo2((pfoo2,pfoo2)); instead of #foo2(pfoo2)

	PM49064	When building a project, the C/C++ instrumentor aborted with the internal error:'TestRT attolccp - INTERNAL ERROR: Please, contact your support'.
Documentation - TestRT	PM51535	Updated Rational Test RealTime Studio documentation to clarify usage of #pragma attol crc_justify, under Reference > General reference > Studio reference > Runtime and static analysis reference.
Eclipse Integration	RATLC01244805	When Rational Test RealTime 7.0.5 Eclipse plug-in was installed on Rational Systems Developer 7.0.5 on Solaris 10, opening the Test execution test log freezed the Eclipse User Interface.No plan to fix because this plugin is end of life du to the brand new Visual Test feature running under eclipse IDE.
	RATLC01244925	In the Eclipse test suite editor for Component Testing for C, on the Linux platform, the initial height of the Test elements view was too small.No plan to fix because the eclipse plugin is end of life du to the brand new Visual Test feature running under eclipse IDE.
	PM46077	The binaries TestRTcc.exe, trtld.exe, trtcc.exe, and attolcc.exe could not handle a long command (more than 8192 chars).
GUI - TestRT	RATLC01193614	When displaying large reports, performance has been improved.
	PK68236	The Studio GUI displayed only an information message that could go unnoticed when opening corrupted coverage results instead of a warning message.No plan to fix because the alarm is provided by attolcov and the splitter. So attolcov can be used to check result file as well as the .rej listing, generated by the splitter to list all rejected lines.
	PM39030	Some Windows printer drivers leaded the test report symbols for pass / fail (red cross / green check mark) to appear at wrong positions or too narrow in the html report. A string '[FAILED]' has been added to the end of the service name and test name.
	RATLC01814424	When a whole service was selected, all children tests were selected and grayed out, regardless of whether there was a specific selection beforehand. When deselecting the service, the previous selection of children was also cleared.
	PM44735	Behavior of the check box located in the 'right-click > test selection > family' for enabling and disabling the test and family selection has been redesigned.
	PM45767	The Studio 'Find dialog' feature did not work on selections.
	RATLC01815002	Mixing tio from count and not count instrumentations leaded to disabling the viewer and attolcov for generated reports. Both attolcov and the coverage viewer have been modified.
	PM47619	Behavior of the check box in the 'test selection' dialog has been modified and documented.
	PM51864	studioreport does not open the viewer when the generated .spt file include more than 5MB data for runtime tracing (.tdf) file and some of TSF are missing.the workaround is to re-launch the same command a second time
Integration with RQM	PM46064	RQM reported test results as 0 pass/fail when running a super project involving sub-Projects.
Runtime Analysis	PM41307	'Next uncovered line' button in Coverage report failed to show the uncovered lines hidden in a macro. Changed macro color to orange to reflect the coverage state of the underlying branch.
	PM46151	The total testing time is now displayed between the chart and the result metric table when the Root node is selected in the viewer navigator.

	PM50452	Attempts to instrument an application with IBM Rational Test RealTime sometimes produced an error message similar to:TestRT attolccp - FATAL ERROR: Expected source line 474[preprocessed:39404] is after the end of the file.
System Testing for C	RATLC01248024	The dynamic trace viewer for System Testing is not available when used over an IPv6 network.No known workaround. No plan to fix this issue because the System Testing supervisor runs on the same computer as Studio and computers using IPv6 also support IPv4 for localhost.
Target Deployment Port	PM46105	Wrong prototype of usr_memcpy in the TDP has been updated: void instead of void*
	RATLC01815005	In the TDP adapcgnt.tdp the link function did not pass the list of libraries coming from the user interface to the linker when using Library nodes in the user interface. The TDP has been updated to take into account this parameter and to pass it correctly to the linker.
