Issue 18779: VirtualCall is missing an Addresses (kdm-rtf)
Source: Benchmark Consulting (Dr. Stephane Vaucher, )
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Significant
Summary: Virtual calls should have an Addresses to indicate what is the object that is being passed a message. Currently, the only action relations that are required describe the parameters and the next control flow.


IMO, a VirtualCall should match a PtrCall that requires a "Addresses relationship to the
DataElement that represents
the pointer". In the case of the Virtual call, it should probably read "Addresses relationship to the
DataElement that represents
the object", and perhaps specify that the DataElement should be of ClassUnit type.
