Duplicate code segments in Stateflow are error-prone, hard to maintain, and inefficient. The video embedded above, “Get to know Guideline mes_slsf_3800”, demonstrates how duplicate and similar code segments in Stateflow models can be identified. The goal is to detect potential errors early. The video also shows how the MES Model Examiner® (MXAM) automatically detects redundant and similar code segments and makes them visible. The modeling guideline mes_slsf_3800 consistently requires avoiding duplicate code segments in Stateflow and centralizing shared code to improve safety and maintainability.
How to Identify Duplicated Stateflow Code: Guideline mes_slsf_3800
Why are duplicate code segments in Stateflow problematic?
Redundant code segments increase maintenance effort because changes must be applied in multiple locations. At the same time, they can reduce the clarity of models and make complex logic harder to understand. In safety-critical applications, it is therefore especially important to identify and reduce redundancy.
How can duplicate and similar code segments be detected in Stateflow?
Duplicate and similar code segments can be identified through static model analysis. This approach analyzes both identical and structurally similar logic blocks to uncover redundancies and potential sources of errors within Stateflow models.
How does MXAM support Stateflow analysis?
MXAM automatically detects duplicate and similar code segments in Stateflow diagrams. Its analysis identifies so-called clone groups and clearly shows where redundant code exists. Developers can use this information to simplify and improve their models. Centralizing shared code in each Stateflow diagram further increases model safety and maintainability.
