How can binded blocks produce top-level inputs?

[Lennart Ochel]

I found some issues using blocks. OpenModelica cannot simulate the model test1 from the following package.

package foo
  block anyChange \"does any entry of a boolean vector change its value?\"
    input Boolean vec[:];
    output Boolean anychange;
  algorithm
    anychange:=false;
    for i in 1:size(vec, 1) loop
      anychange:=anychange or change(vec[i]);
    end for;
  end anyChange;

  model test1
    Boolean b[3];
    foo.anyChange ac(vec=b);
    Integer i(start=0, fixed=true);
  equation
    b[1] = time > 0.1;
    b[2] = time > 0.2;
    b[3] = time > 0.3;

    when ac.anychange then
      i = pre(i) + 1;
    end when;
  end test1;
end foo;

Already our flat code seems to be weird. Why do we get top-level inputs in the flat code?

class foo.test1
  Boolean b[1];
  Boolean b[2];
  Boolean b[3];
  Integer i(start = 0, fixed = true);
  input Boolean ac.vec[1];
  input Boolean ac.vec[2];
  input Boolean ac.vec[3];
  output Boolean ac.anychange;
equation
  ac.vec = {b[1], b[2], b[3]};
  b[1] = time > 0.1;
  b[2] = time > 0.2;
  b[3] = time > 0.3;
  when ac.anychange then
  i = 1 + pre(i);
  end when;
algorithm
  ac.anychange := false;
  for i in 1:3 loop
    ac.anychange := ac.anychange or change(ac.vec[i]);
  end for;
end foo.test1;
