# DDS/RTI Migration - Continuation Prompt

## Context

This prompt continues the Qt6 migration work for the Lts/DDS module with RTI Connext DDS 7.7 integration. The core DDS targets (ddscore, ddsftccore, ddsQoS, ddsconnector, ddsgen) have been successfully migrated and build with `BUILD_RTI=ON`.

**Current Blocker:** ddsfts module blocked by IDL duplicate symbol definitions in ProjectDataManagement module.

## Current Status (Updated)

### ✅ Completed
- Docker build environment configured (Ubuntu 26.04, Qt 6.10.2, RTI 7.7.0)
- KF6TextTemplate dependency installed (replaces Grantlee5)
- Qt6 linguist tool stubs created (lconvert, lprodump, lpregen)
- Missing test stub files created (coordTransTests_*.cpp)
- DDS core targets build successfully:
  - ddscore
  - ddsftccore
  - ddsQoS
  - ddsconnector
  - ddsgen (IDL generator)

### ❌ Blocked
- **ddsfts**: Blocked by ProjectDataManagement IDL conflicts (duplicate symbols)
- **ProjectDataManagement module**: Not yet migrated to Qt6

### 📋 Reports Generated
- `DDS_RTI_MIGRATION_REPORT.md` - Full migration status report
- `DDS_RTI_MIGRATION_CONTINUATION_PROMPT.md` - This file (being updated)

## Remaining Tasks

### Priority 1: ddsfts Module - IDL Duplicate Symbol Resolution (CRITICAL)

**Location:** `Lts/DDS/FTS/` and `Lts/Services/ProjectDataManagement/`

**Blocker:** IDL duplicate symbol definitions between pdm.idl and pdm_enums.idl

**Error Message:**
```
ERROR: pdm.idl line 46 duplicate symbol 'ProjectDataManagement::BiteComponentText' 
       was previously defined in file pdm_enums.idl line 447
ERROR: pdm.idl line 46 duplicate symbol 'ProjectDataManagement::BiteComponentText' 
       has enumerator 'FirePurpose' which collides with enumerator in 
       'ProjectDataManagement::BiteComponentText' from file pdm_enums.idl line 447
```

**Affected Enumerators:**
- BiteComponentText (duplicate type definition)
- FirePurpose (enumerator collision)
- GearClass (enumerator collision)
- EventType (enumerator collision)
- Multiple other enum values

**Required Actions:**
1. **Audit IDL files for duplicates:**
   ```bash
   cd Lts/Services/ProjectDataManagement
   grep -n "BiteComponentText" pdm.idl pdm_enums.idl
   grep -n "enum.*FirePurpose" pdm.idl pdm_enums.idl
   grep -n "enum.*GearClass" pdm.idl pdm_enums.idl
   grep -n "enum.*EventType" pdm.idl pdm_enums.idl
   ```

2. **Resolve duplicates:**
   - Remove duplicate type/enum definitions from pdm.idl
   - Keep canonical definitions in pdm_enums.idl
   - Add `#include "pdm_enums.idl"` to pdm.idl if needed
   - Ensure all modules reference canonical definitions

3. **Verify IDL compilation:**
   ```bash
   cd build4
   make svcPdmCommon_autogen_timestamp_deps
   ```

4. **Rebuild ddsfts:**
   ```bash
   make -j8 ddsfts
   ```

**Files to Fix:**
- `Lts/Services/ProjectDataManagement/pdm.idl`
- `Lts/Services/ProjectDataManagement/pdm_enums.idl`
- `Lts/Plugins/ProjectDataManagement/` (dependent module)

### Priority 2: ProjectDataManagement Module Migration

**Locations:**
- `Lts/Plugins/ProjectDataManagement/`
- `Lts/Services/ProjectDataManagement/`

**Migration Checklist:**
- [ ] Inventory all Qt5 API usage (QByteArray::number, deprecated signals/slots, etc.)
- [ ] Update CMakeLists.txt for Qt6 (find_package(Qt6 COMPONENTS ...))
- [ ] Verify KTextTemplate configuration for any IDL codegen
- [ ] Check for AUTOMOC timing issues with generated files
- [ ] Update include paths if necessary
- [ ] Build with BUILD_RTI=ON to verify compatibility
- [ ] Run any existing tests

**Qt5 API Patterns to Search:**
```bash
# In ProjectDataManagement directories
grep -r "QByteArray::number" --include="*.h" --include="*.cpp"
grep -r "QRegExp" --include="*.h" --include="*.cpp"
grep -r "QDesktopWidget" --include="*.h" --include="*.cpp"
grep -r "QApplication::desktop" --include="*.h" --include="*.cpp"
```

**CMake Updates Needed:**
```cmake
# Qt5 pattern (legacy)
find_package(Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core Widgets)

# Qt6 pattern (migrated)
find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core Widgets)
qt_standardize_properties()
```

### Priority 3: Project Plugin Qt6 Migration

**Affected Plugins:**
- `Lts/Plugins/ProjectEtsPlugin/`
- `Lts/Plugins/ProjectAhtcPlugin/`
- `Lts/Plugins/ProjectPluginBase/`
- `Lts/Plugins/Project*Plugin/`

**Known Error:** `moc "Undefined interface"` 

**Investigation Steps:**
1. Check Q_PLUGIN_METADATA declarations
2. Verify interface classes have Q_DECLARE_INTERFACE
3. Check for missing Q_OBJECT macros
4. Verify AUTOMOC is enabled in CMakeLists.txt
5. Check for circular dependencies between plugins

**Common Qt6 Migration Issues:**
- Q_PLUGIN_METADATA requires QJsonDocument in Qt6
- Interface UUIDs must be consistent
- Plugin loading may require Q_PLUGIN_IMPORT in addition to Q_PLUGIN_METADATA

## Build Commands

### Standard DDS Build (Working)
```bash
docker run --rm -it \
  -v /home/torsten/swy/sandbox:/workspace \
  -v /home/torsten/swy/sandbox/rti_license.dat:/workspace/rti_license.dat:ro \
  legatus-qt6-build:latest \
  bash -c "cd /workspace/qt-migration-legatus/qt6-after/qt6-migrated-legatus && \
           mkdir -p build && cd build && \
           cmake -DBUILD_RTI=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_STANDARD=17 .. && \

grep -n "BiteComponentText" pdm.idl pdm_enums.idl
grep -n "enum.*FirePurpose" pdm.idl pdm_enums.idl
grep -n "enum.*GearClass" pdm.idl pdm_enums.idl

## Testing Guidelines

### After ddsfts Build
1. Verify libddsfts.so is created
2. Check for undefined symbols: `nm -D libddsfts.so | grep U`
3. Test plugin loading if applicable

### After ProjectDataManagement Migration
1. Build ddsfts and verify success
2. Run any ProjectDataManagement unit tests
3. Verify pdm.idl codegen produces expected headers
4. Test integration with DDS module

### After Project Plugin Migration
1. Build all Project*Plugin targets
2. Verify plugins load at runtime
3. Test plugin interfaces with host application
4. Check for moc warnings in build output

## Notes

- RTI 7.7 requires C++17 (not C++23)
- Empty rti_license.dat is valid for development
- Code generation must happen during build (no pre-generated files)
- AUTOMOC timing issues require SKIP_AUTOMOC + manual QT6_WRAP_CPP for generated files
- RTI headers conflict with stub definitions - use #ifdef BUILD_RTI guards
