Description

PLACEHOLDER

Three steps:

  • Replace prebuild as code generator with capgen, using old cmake include files instead of capgen datatable, and using the current interstitial DDTs managed by the host model
  • replace cmake include files with capgen datatable
  • Remove interstitial DDTs from host model, let capgen manage the data

Research direction

Review the existing prebuild generator, old CMake include files, capgen datatable, and the interstitial DDT handling in the host model. Work through the three listed migration steps in order; done means capgen replaces prebuild, the CMake includes are replaced, and the host model no longer manages interstitial DDTs.
