Protocol function (operation) input parameter type issue [message #1781651]

Hi
I am facing an issue while defining a protocol function (operation) input parameter. I want to pass const char* type data but I cannot see how to assign this type to a function parameter, instead there is option to select String type from <<EPackage, Model Library>> PrimitiveTypes.

Can anybody please let me know how may I assign the input parameter of a protocol function (operation) to be of type const char* instead of String?

**Reason behind not using String as type:
I am having a protocol like this

<<Protocol>> TestProtocol
  > in method1 (arg : String)

then in a transition code snippet I have:

const char* s = "test";

but when i am calling

testProt.method1(s).send();

it gives me compilation warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'.

Regards.
Faisal

In Papyrus-RT the code generator uses "char *" for UML Strings, not "const char *".

If you are only getting a warning, it's not a problem.

If you are getting a compilation error, then try declaring your string as a "char *" instead of a "const char *". If it really needs to be a const char *, you need to do an explicit cast, or manually copy the data, or any other typical C/C++ solutions to this.
