Known Problems and Patches for CADP 97a "Twente"
NOTE: THIS PAGE IS NOW OBSOLETE. All the problems listed below are already solved in CADP 97b. We therefore recommend that you upgrade to the most recent version.

PROBLEM 97a-1: [CAESAR.ADT]

DESCRIPTION:

When analyzing external types, CAESAR.ADT 4.5 may issue the following error message: 

-- caesar.adt 4.5 -- H. Garavel, R. Mateescu, M. Sighireanu & Ph. Turlier --

caesar.adt: syntax analysis of ``rcc''
caesar.adt: semantic analysis of ``rcc''
caesar.adt:    - gates binding
caesar.adt:    - processes binding
caesar.adt:    - types binding
caesar.adt:    - signature analysis
caesar.adt:    - sorts binding
caesar.adt:    - variables binding
caesar.adt:    - operations binding
caesar.adt:    - functionality analysis
caesar.adt: interface of ``rcc''
caesar.adt: verification of ``rcc''
caesar.adt: compilation of ``rcc''
caesar.adt: external type survey of ``rcc''
#005 bug :
     unavailable option in this software
caesar.adt: optimization of ``rcc''
caesar.adt: C translation of ``rcc''
caesar.adt: indentation of ``rcc''
SOLUTION:

This error message is meaningless and can be safely ignored. Even if this message is displayed, CAESAR.ADT works correctly.

PROBLEM 97a-2: [XEUCA]

DESCRIPTION:

Clicking on a ".aut" file and choosing "Execute/Standard simulation" does not work properly because an intermediate BCG file is erased too early.

SOLUTION:

Edit file $CADP/src/eucalyptus/eucalyptus.tcl and remove the following line: 

 Execute "rm -f $Tmp_File"
in the definition of "proc Open_Caesar".

PROBLEM 97a-3: [XEUCA and EXP.OPEN]

DESCRIPTION:

The exp.open tool in the $CADP/com directory does not have the correct access rights, in particular, it is not executable, and this causes an error when run from the Eucalyptus graphical interface.

SOLUTION:

Type the following Unix command: 

	chmod a+rx $CADP/com/exp.open

PROBLEM 97a-4: [BCG_IO]

DESCRIPTION:

If the environment variable $CADP_CC is set to "gcc", the BCG_IO tool (sometimes) does not work properly and stops after issuing the following message: 

     bcg_io: wrong number of parameters
     bcg_dynamic: dynamic program error

SOLUTION:

This is a known problem in the BCG library, which will be fixed in the next CADP release. In the meantime, the solution is to use the SunSoft C compiler (located in "/opt/SUNswpro/bin"), for which BCG_IO works properly, instead of "gcc".

Alternately, upon request to [email protected], we can provide an updated version of the BCG library that will solve the problem.

PROBLEM 97a-5: [BCG_DRAW and BCG_EDIT]

DESCRIPTION:

If the environment variable $CADP_CC is set to "gcc", the BCG_DRAW tool (sometimes) stops silently: the Ghostview window is not created. Instead a "core" file is created in the current directory. As a consequence, the BCG_EDIT tool does not work properly.

SOLUTION:

This is a known problem in the BCG library, which will be fixed in the next CADP release. In the meantime, the solution is to use the SunSoft C compiler (located in "/opt/SUNswpro/bin"), for which BCG_DRAW and BCG_EDIT work properly, instead of "gcc".

Alternately, upon request to [email protected], we can provide an updated version of the BCG library that will solve the problem.

PROBLEM 97a-6: [ALDEBARAN]

DESCRIPTION:

If the environment variable $CADP_CC is set to "gcc", the ALDEBARAN tool (sometimes) makes a core dump when applied to BCG files.

SOLUTION:

This is a known problem in the BCG library, which will be fixed in the next CADP release. In the meantime, the solution is to use the SunSoft C compiler (located in "/opt/SUNswpro/bin"), for which BCG_DRAW and BCG_EDIT work properly, instead of "gcc". Also, this problem can be avoided by using ".aut" files instead of ".bcg" files.

Alternately, upon request to [email protected], we can provide an updated version of the BCG library that will solve the problem.

PROBLEM 97a-7: [XEUCA, EUCALYPTUS]

DESCRIPTION:

If the Aldebaran format or the Graph format is selected for LTS generation (instead of the BCG format), this selection remained later when the OPEN/CAESAR tools were invoked, causing disturbances.

SOLUTION:

This problem does not occur if the BCG format is used.

If you have selected the ALDEBARAN format and want to use the OPEN/CAESAR tools later, exit the EUCALYPTUS Graphical User-Interface and re-enter it again.

Alternately, upon request to [email protected], we can provide an updated version of the "eucalyptus.tcl" file that will solve the problem.
