DOPE-744: Point an unbacked memory address at the Buffer Mapping that can size it - #1210
JulioSergioFS wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
A located %MX variable with nothing exposing memory already failed the build with "Nothing produces %MX on this target". The remedy that followed sent the user to the Device, Remote Devices or Servers branches, and the first two can never help: pins, VPP slots, EtherCAT channels and Modbus master points all produce physical I/O. Memory has one producer, a Modbus server's Buffer Mapping, and the message never named it. The remedy now splits by what was actually offended. A physical area keeps the existing sentence, a memory area gets its own, and a project offending in both gets both, still as the single remedy line the grouping promises. This does not change what the compiler accepts. Sizing memory from a declaration stays refused, per FR02 and BR14. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
WalkthroughUnbacked-location guidance now distinguishes memory addresses from physical I/O addresses. Memory guidance names Modbus Buffer Mapping or S7comm data blocks under Servers. Physical I/O guidance retains producer instructions. Tests cover memory-only and combined cases. ChangesUnbacked Location Guidance

Explanation
The description follows the repository template. It has a References section with the Jira link and a clear account of the bug, the change, and the tests. It also covers verification and the shared-surface note. The DOD checklist and Contributor License Agreement items are present but unchecked. The 'Description of the changes proposed' heading from the template is missing, and the change is described under 'The change' instead. The 'Link to Jira task' is included as a list item and not a separate heading. These are minor gaps.

A rabbit checked the memory map,
And found two paths to size it right.
Modbus mapping, S7 blocks,
While physical I/O keeps its guide.
The tests now check each path in sight.

The memory remedy claimed a Modbus Buffer Mapping was the only producer of memory. An S7comm server maps int_memory, dint_memory and lint_memory, so it backs %MW, %MD and %ML too, and the sentence sent those users to the wrong screen. Both homes are named now. %MX is still Modbus only, since s7comm_types.h has no buffer code for bool_memory, so the wording names the two places without promising either one serves every prefix.

The bug
From Setta's field testing: a SCADA could not write to
%MXon a vPLC, and working out why took days. The runtime half of that is RTOP-393, which stops the server confirming writes it discards. This is the editor half.A located
%MXvariable with nothing exposing memory already fails the build, and says so clearly:The diagnosis is right. The remedy that follows is not:
Two of those three branches can never help. Pins, VPP module slots, EtherCAT channels and Modbus master points all produce physical I/O. Memory has exactly one producer: a Modbus server's Buffer Mapping. A user who does not already know that goes looking under Device, finds nothing that mentions memory, and concludes the editor is broken, which is roughly what happened in the field.
The change
describeUnbackedLocationssplits the remedy by what was actually offended:It stays one remedy line, so the grouping contract the tests already pin ("states the remedy once, however many variables") is unchanged.
No change to what the compiler accepts. Sizing memory from a declaration stays refused:
%Mwas that exception until DOPE-615 removed it so a project could not silently grow the image by declaring into it (FR02, BR14). This only tells the user where to complete the configuration the rule asks for.Tests

src/backend/shared/compile/is part of the byte-identical surface. Mirror PR: Autonomy-Logic/openplc-web#831. Both files verified identical across the two repos.Still open
Whether declaring memory in the program should publish it over Modbus automatically, as Delta and Siemens do, is the FR02 decision and belongs in its own demand rather than in this fix. Noted on DOPE-744 for Thiago.
