PM54116: functions using constant parameters not being RT.

Rational Rhapsody 8.0
Rational Rhapsody 8.0.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The problem is that Rhapsody does not roundtrip code for
  functions that have const arguments. This only occurs if the
  project is configured to generate In arguments as const (this is
  the default setting of Rhapsody) under the model properties
  C_CG->Type->In.
  
  So, if I created a file called MyFile under one of our project
  packages and add function MyFunction with 2 In parameters int a
  and int b (type selected by use existing type), then created a
  flowchart for the function behavior, the result when generated
  would be:
  
  MyFile.c
  
  void MyFunction(const int a, const int b)
  
  Changes to this function are not picked up by Rhapsody. I'm not
  sure if this is true 100% of the time, but I've observed it with
  a package containing a couple of files, each with a few
  functions.
  
  As a workaround we have simply set the default generation of In
  arguments to be just $type instead of const $type.
