Record with 0-length array

[c.schulze@…]

model emptyVector4
  record R
    constant Boolean fixedMixingRatio;
    constant Integer nc_propertyCalculation(min=1);
    final constant Integer nc=if fixedMixingRatio then 1 else nc_propertyCalculation;
    constant Real[nc_propertyCalculation] mixingRatio_propertyCalculation;
    constant Real[nc] defaultMixingRatio = if fixedMixingRatio then {1} else mixingRatio_propertyCalculation;
    constant Real xi_default[nc-1] = defaultMixingRatio[1:end-1]/sum(defaultMixingRatio); 
  end R;
  record R2=R(nc_propertyCalculation=1,fixedMixingRatio=false,mixingRatio_propertyCalculation={1});
  R2 r2;
end emptyVector4;

The type of xi_default cannot be determined. Unusable source code is generated. (r15030)

No, type of xi_default is determined. It is just that it has zero-dimensions, which requires special care when generating code (the empty array has unknown/uninteresting type).

Fixed in r17404

new seems to work, but i cannot access the variables properly

model emptyVector4
  record R
    constant Boolean fixedMixingRatio;
    constant Integer nc_propertyCalculation(min=1);
    final constant Integer nc=if fixedMixingRatio then 1 else nc_propertyCalculation;
    constant Real[nc_propertyCalculation] mixingRatio_propertyCalculation;
    constant Real[nc] defaultMixingRatio = if fixedMixingRatio then {1} else mixingRatio_propertyCalculation;
    constant Real xi_default[nc-1] = defaultMixingRatio[1:end-1]/sum(defaultMixingRatio); 
  end R;
  record R2=R(nc_propertyCalculation=1,fixedMixingRatio=false,mixingRatio_propertyCalculation={1});
  R2 r2;
  Real x[r2.nc-1]=r2.defaultMixingRatio[1:end-1]/sum(r2.defaultMixingRatio);
end emptyVector4;

What do you mean you cannot access variables properly?
OpenModelica removes zero size arrays from the DAE and
they do not appear in the .mat file.

I'm talking about the "Real x[r2.nc-1]=r2.defaultMixingRatio[1:end-1]/sum(r2.defaultMixingRatio);" line.

The x vector in global scope should be a Real[0], but the model cannot be translated. In this case the vector could be removed completely, but it should translate.
