Anyone working on C++ reverse engineering? [message #1733445]

Is there anyone out there who has or is working on or interested in creating a C++ reverse engineering plugin for Papyrus?

I am interested in either testing or participating in the development of such a plugin. If you are have a plugin or are in the midst of development or are starting development or would like to develop said plugin reply to this posting.

I guess you should take a look at Papyrus Designer. As I understand, it should have support for C++ reverse engineering. Someone with more insight into this component can probably fill in.

Hope this helps,

There is a C++ reverse feature in Papyrus Designer:

Release: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/papyrus/components/designer/
Nightly: https://hudson.eclipse.org/papyrus/view/Designer/job/papyrus-designer-neon-papyrusnightly/ws/releng/org.eclipse.papyrus.designer.p2/target/repository/

Otherwise there are some unreleased experimental work (e.g. incremental reverse) in the repo:

https://git.eclipse.org/r/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus-designer

The plugins are:
- org.eclipse.papyrus.designer.languages.cpp.reverse
- org.eclipse.papyrus.designer.languages.cpp.reverse.ui

Hi Paul,

yes, as Peter mentioned said (thanks!), Papyrus software designer supports C++ reverse engineering. It is aligned with the upcoming Papyrus 2.0 for neon. The homepage is https://www.eclipse.org/papyrus/components/designer/.
You can install it using the update site http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/papyrus/components/designer/
Alternatively, use the git access (https://git.eclipse.org/c/papyrus/org.eclipse.papyrus-designer.git)
Documentation is lagging a bit behind (we plan a 1.0 release at the end of june), you could have a look at the plugin org.eclipse.papyrus.designer.languages.cpp.reverse.

Thank you all for your replies!

Unfortunately when I go to the components designer project the documentation links all return "404". I added the link to my update links and nothing happens.

Perhaps there has been a change or else the web site is being updated or is not operational? Perhaps the components designer is not applicable to either the standalone version I have installed or the plugins I have installed?

FYI:

My eclipse environment is:
Version: Mars.2 Release (4.5.2)
Build id: 20160218-0600

Is it possible to obtain access to the C++ reverse engineering portion of Papyrus prior to its June 22 release?

Hi,

In order perform the reverse, you have to right click on the CDT project, or one of its files open in the current editor. Then you have a popup menu:

Reverse > To new UML model
or Reverse > To existing UML model (Overwrite)

Note that we have not release incremental reverse yet because it is experimental, but it is available if you get the code.

When I follow these instructions in Windows 10 using Neon, I get a confirmation window saying "Reversed to new UML model in reversed_models/ folder of MyProject", but no no output appears to actually be generated. I can't even find the folder it supposedly created to place the model. I have the Desinger-CPP component installed and otherwise have no error messages.
