[Uml-user] ANSI-C code generation?

[Hanna Italy - R&D SW]

Thank you for the replies.
Now, I know nearly nothing of UML and my knowledge of C++
has been fading over the last 6 years spent in programming in C, assembly
and Visual Basic (!!!).
My next question is:
is there a (possible) way to limit the UML functionalities in Umbrello so
that it does not use classes?
Actually there exists some commercial tools like I-Logix Rhapsody,
SmartState or IAR VisualState which generate C, but I do not know if
they have a way to translate C++ structures in C or if they limit the UML
possibilities when generating C.
Thanks,

Fabio
