The C++ Profile package contains Stereotypes and Tag Definitions required for modeling C++ code in the model. Through the Tag Definitions in the C++ profile, you can model information such as array specs, CV qualifiers and indirections. In addition, the C++ Profile package contains some Basic Types, such as bool, char and double.
If you reverse engineer C++ code to a model that does not contain the C++ profile, the Reverser creates a C++ Profile in the Model; however, the C++ profile it creates may contain only the Stereotypes and Tag Definitions required for the code you reverse engineered, and each Stereotype and Tag Definition of the C++ Profile package will not include a description of its purpose:
• If the Reverser has created a C++ profile in your Model and you want to update it so that it is complete and includes the Stereotype and Tag Definition descriptions, see
Updating the C++ profile package in a model (C++ code)
ACS does not generate code for the C++ profile. In addition, the C++ profile does not appear in the Difference View dialog.
• Do not make changes to the C++ profile. Any changes you make will be lost when the profile is updated.
Note that you can create Tag Definitions outside of the C++ profile, and link those Tag Definitions to Stereotypes in the C++ profile. When the C++ profile is updated, the links will not be broken.
• Do not create copies of the C++ profile within a model, or create copies of the C++ profile through XMI Import/Export. The copies of the C++ profile will not work correctly and you will not be able to update the copies through the Update All Profiles command.
