Code generation for arrays of records

[Martin Sjölund]

We need to add support for arrays of records in function context
Currently our code looks something like:

struct Complex_array _t;
alloc_struct Complex_array(&_t, 1, (modelica_integer) 2);

This needs to be something like...

struct_array _t;
alloc_struct_array(&t, sizeof(struct Complex), 1, 2);

Code like this is used in MoMoLib, which will probably be a part of MSL 3.2.1

Any progress on this? If not, maybe I can have a look.

I have fixed it to some extent. By falling back to normal arrays. However it doesn't cover all cases. A more robust way to fix it is to write a new set of allocation, copy and element address functions which will take element size info as an additional argument. Sometimes indexing struct arrays also generates UNKNOWN_SUBSCRIPT right now. I had to switch to the openmp stuff before I completely fixed it. If urgent I can work on it now.

We'll talk more about this in the dev meeting on Tuesday 14:00 and we'll decide.

Partially fixed in r16093. A bit of a hack, more work is needed.
recordArray[i].recordComponent does not work yet, just recordArray[i] directly.
We now generate array operations on all records in Model_functions.h but we should generate it just for records that actually appear in any arrays.

Fixed in r16536.

Multi-dimensional arrays of records need more support for default values. Right now default values handled only for one dimensional arrays of records. I think if needed we can handle those manually for 2 or 3 dimensions. I don't think anyone uses >3 dimensional arrays of records anyway.

Fix breaks MetaModelica tests
