Description

VariableNetworkNode::getName() and VariableNetworkNode::getQualifiedName() return conceptionally different things depending on the type of the variable.

E.g. getName() gives for a variable "/mod/var":

  • Application module: var
  • Control system: /mod/var

And getQualifiedName() gives:

  • Application module: /mod/var
  • Control system: -> empty string
