Instantiatied extended models with records with constants have equations which could easily be simplified

[carlj@…]

Consider the following model:

record MyRecord
  Real x;
  constant Real y = 0.5;
end MyRecord;

model BaseModel
  parameter MyRecord myData;
end BaseModel;

model ExtendsModel
  parameter MyRecord m(x = 1.27);
  extends BaseModel(myData = m);
end ExtendsModel;

which is instantiated to:

function MyRecord \"Automatically generated record constructor for MyRecord\"
  input Real x;
  protected Real y = 0.5;
  output MyRecord res;
end MyRecord;

class ExtendsModel
  parameter Real myData.x = m.x;
  constant Real myData.y = m.y;
  parameter Real m.x = 1.27;
  constant Real m.y = 0.5;
end ExtendsModel;

where the line "constant Real myData.y = m.y" seems like it could just as well be simplified to "constant Real myData.y = 0.5".

Postponed until 1.9.1

[Martin Sjölund]

This ticket was not closed for 1.9.1, which has now been released. It was batch modified for milestone 1.9.2 (but maybe an empty milestone was more appropriate; feel free to change it).

[Martin Sjölund]

Milestone changed to 1.9.3 since 1.9.2 was released.

[Martin Sjölund]

Moved to new milestone 1.9.4

[Martin Sjölund]

Milestone pushed to 1.9.5

[Martin Sjölund]

Milestone renamed

[Martin Sjölund]

Ticket retargeted after milestone closed

[Martin Sjölund]

Milestone moved to 1.12.0 due to 1.11.0 already being released.

[Francesco Casella]

The milestone of this ticket has been reassigned to "Future".

If you think the issue is still valid and relevant for you, please select milestone 1.13.0 for back-end, code generation and run-time issues, or 2.0.0 for front-end issues.

If you are aware that the problem is no longer present, please select the milestone corresponding to the version of OMC you used to check that, and set the status to "worksforme".

In both cases, a short informative comment would be welcome.

[Francesco Casella]

As of v1.13.0-dev-226-ga72f165, the new front end (-d=newInst) flattens P.ExtendsModels as

class P.ExtendsModel
  parameter Real m.x = 1.27;
  constant Real m.y = 0.5;
  parameter Real myData.x;
  constant Real myData.y = 0.5;
end P.ExtendsModel;

This will be the default behaviour in v. 2.0.0
