Adapt CIF tools other than controller properties checker for 'controller:properties' annotation
Idea
Adapt the CIF tools other than controller properties checker for the 'controller:properties' annotation. For instance, the convert-uncntrl-events-to-cntrl
could check for presence of the bound properties annotation, and warn the user or delete the annotation or so.
- Some tools already handle it correctly:
- CIF controller properties checker
- Some tools don't generate CIF models as output:
- CIF to Supremica transformer
- CIF event-based synthesis toolset (the tools that don't generate a CIF model)
- CIF simulator
- CIF to mCRL2 transformer
- CIF to UPPAAL transformer
- CIF code generator
- CIF PLC code generator (stable and experimental one)
- CIF to yEd transformer
- Some tools create a completely new specification:
- CIF event-based synthesis toolset (the tools that generate a CIF model)
- CIF explorer
- CIF multi-level synthesis
- Some tools preserve the behavior
- Other CIF to CIF transformations
- Some tools should remove the annotation:
- CIF data-based synthesis
- CIF merger
- CIF event disabler
- CIF to CIF (un)controllable events to (un)controllable
- CIF to CIF linearize merge
- CIF to CIF remove requirements
Only the tools in the last category need a change.
Origin From #621 (comment 2536037):
[...]
- A tool could check for presence of the finite-response-bounds annotation, and then consider if what it is about to do is safe wrt to the bounds.
Indeed, this is the idea for the existing
controller:properties
annotation, see #816 (closed).
I meant it not just for PLCgen but in a more general sense. For example
convert-uncntrl-events-to-cntrl
could check for presence of the bound properties annotation, and warn the user or delete the annotation or so.
