Detects method calls in the FB_Init
method of a base function block, which are overwritten by a function block derived
from a base function block
Justification: In these cases, it could be that the variables in the overwritten methods are not initialized in the base FB.
Importance: High
Example
The function block FB_A
includes the methods FB_Init
and Meth_MyInit
. FB_Init
calls Meth_MyInit
for initialization. The function block FB_B
is derived from FB_A
. PLC_PRG
calls FB_B
and therefore uses its mbMyDintB
variable before it has been initialized. FB_B.Meth_MyInit
overwrites FB_A.Meth_MyInit
.
FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_A VAR mbMyDintA : DINT; END_VAR FUNCTION_BLOCK FB_B EXTENDS FB_A VAR mbMyDintB : DINT; END_VAR METHOD FB_Init : BOOL VAR_INPUT bInitRetains:BOOL; bInCopyCode:BOOL; END_VAR VAR diDummy:DINT; // SA0106 END_VAR mbMyDintA := 123; diDummy := Meth_MyInit(); METHOD Meth_MyInit : DINT VAR_INPUT END_VAR mbMyDintB := 123; // access to member of FB_B PROGRAM PLC_PRG VAR g_BInst : FB_B; xVar : BOOL; END_VAR xVar := g_BInst.fb_init(TRUE, TRUE); //this instruction causes the following order of initializations: //FB_A.fb_init //FB_B.Meth_MyInit // SA0106 //FB_B.fb_init //FB_B.Meth_MyInit --> SA0106: Virtual method call 'Meth_MyInit' in FB_INIT
