Free operations are defined at a package scope, not attached to any class.

In C/C++, a free operation corresponds to a function (e.g., int foo(int x, float y)).

Free operation

This piece of the model generates the following code:

void Philo_ctor_call(void) {
    uint8_t n;
    for (n = 0U; n < N_PHILO; ++n) {
        Philo_ctor(&Philo_inst[n]);
    }
}

Free Operation Property Sheet

The free operation property sheet allows you to set the following properties:

operation name
operation return type drop-down box (NOTE: accepts also user-supplied types)
operation specifier (C++ only) allows you to provide such specifiers as: noexcept, etc.
operation inline checkbox
operation documentation for documenting the operation (see also generate comments)
operation code/pseudocode for specifying code of the operation (NOTE: the pseudocode box is currently not used)
