Hello all,
As I worked my way through the attribute specification a question raised:
are component types treated as structured types when it comes to attaching
attributes to single (or a list of) declarations/definitions inside a component?
I was not able to find any reference regarding this issue inside chapter
27 of ETSI ES 201 873-1 V4.3.1 (2011-06) E.g. is the following code allowed?

type component C0 {
var integer cv_i;
const float cc_pi := 3.14;
} with {
display (cv_i, cc_pi) "colour green"
}

BR.,

Uwe Truetsch

Hi Uwe,

component types are not structured types, see Table 3: Overview of TTCN 3 types. So, the below example is not allowed. This kind of definition/field specifier is allowed for structured types, groups and modules only.

BR, GYorgy

Why is this restriction necessary? Should be removed.

BR, Jacob Wieland

Hi,

Depending on the level of usefulness and difficulty to implement. But definitely would improve the implicit omit feature and solve major backward compatibility problems when extending the type system "below" the existing test case behaviour.

Jacob,
cou;ld you submit a CR pl. that we could properly analyse the question?
