Hi all,

the etrice main function will be generated with the signature:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
On most embedded targets the parameters will not be supplied. It would be a good idea to suppress access to the parameters to avoid unwanted behaviour.

Regards
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I was not aware of that problem.
We could create a #define in config/etRuntimeConfig.h and an #ifdef around the code for the arguments. Not beautiful but simple.

I guess we have to rethink the whole Idea of the static runtime configuration in the long run.

Just saw you already created a ticket:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=466937

Further discussion there if needed.

Hi Thomas,

I guess we should replace the generated main method with a simple
et_runSystem() method which is called by a user defined main method.

I agree that we should encapsule this one step more, but we should still generate a complete running system for prototyping.
Maybe we could suppress the generation of the main function (or the file with the main function) with a generator flag.
