Function me::Children(runtimeId, runtimeChildren)

me::Children

The procedure me::Children returns the number of children of a runtime identifier and fills an output parameter with those children.

me::Children(
        runtimeId,          ! (input) an element
        runtimeChildren(i)  ! (output) indexed element parameter.
)

Arguments

runtimeId

An element in the set AllIdentifiers referencing a runtime identifier.

runtimeChildren

The children in the runtime identifier tree. This parameter needs to be an output parameter indexed over a (subset of) the set Integers.

Return Value

This procedure returns the number of children of runtimeId. When runtimeId doesn’t reference a runtime identifier an error will be raised.

Example

Viewing a small runtime library with prefix frerl in the model explorer:

Let ep_functionReferenceExampleRuntimeLib have value FunctionReferenceExampleRuntimeLibrary, then the code:

me::Children(
        runtimeId       :  ep_functionReferenceExampleRuntimeLib,
        runtimeChildren :  _ep_children);
block where single_column_display := 1, listing_number_precision := 6 ;
        display _ep_children ;
endblock ;

produces in the listing file:

_ep_children := data
{ 1 : 'frerl::runtime_declaration_identifiers',
  2 : 'frerl::runtimeProc'                     } ;
