Debugger : Referring to Unnamed Objects

Referring to Unnamed Objects

Rational Statemate objects need not be assigned a name. This is an acceptable practice in many situations. For example:

Orthogonal components of an and-state may not have a name since you usually refer to substates of such components but not to the components themselves.
Expressions are often used in transition triggers without giving names to events and conditions they represent. For example, a transition may be triggered by the event entered(S) without this event having a defined name.
Note: Recall that an instance state or an instance activity has no explicit name (for example, was labeled as @CHART_NAME), then this element is given a default name CHART_NAME. Hence, such elements are not considered as unnamed in the following discussion.
