Figure 3.9.: The principle of Generic AUTOSAR.
3.3.2. Implementing tool functionality with GAUTOSAR
3.3. The Generic AUTOSAR concept
With GAUTOSAR, implementing functionality depicted in listing 3.1 works as follows: for
each generic class in the model, an appropriate interface is generated as depicted in listing
3.2:
gautosar . gswcomponents . gcommunication ;
GQueuedReceiverComSpec
{
Integer gQueueLength ;
}
Integer gGetQueueLength ();
Listing 3.2: The generic interface representing a QueuedReceiverComSpec object.
Instead of repeating code that embodies the desired functionality for each AUTOSAR version
as in listing 3.1, the code can be written only once - by using the generic method provided by
the generic interface. This way, at the time of implementation, the tool developer does not
require any knowledge about how many AUTOSAR versions are supported in the current
Artop release or in which version a tool user might build a model:
