asn1ct:value/1 bug(s)?

[Anders Nygren]

Hi
In the past, (R12B1 or something like that), I have been able to use
asn1ct:value/1 to generate random data according to an ASN.1 spec.

But it seems to not work anymore in R13B02.

Error 1:
In MAP-MS-DataTypes.asn there is

RAB-Id ::= INTEGER (1..maxNrOfRABs)

maxNrOfRABs INTEGER ::= 255

50> asn1ct:value('MAP-MS-DataTypes-v6','RAB-Id').
{error,
    {{case_clause,
         {1,
          {'Externalvaluereference',736,'MAP-MS-DataTypes-v6',
              maxNrOfRABs}}},
     [{asn1ct_value,c_random,2},
      {asn1ct,value,2},
      {erl_eval,do_apply,5},
      {shell,exprs,6},
      {shell,eval_exprs,6},
      {shell,eval_loop,3}]}}

Error 2:
In some cases it returns ok, but with errors in nested elements of the
result.
51>  asn1ct:value('MAP-MS-DataTypes-v6','InsertSubscriberDataRes').
{ok,{'InsertSubscriberDataRes',
        [{asn1_error,
             {not_found,{'MAP-MS-DataTypes-v6','Ext-TeleserviceCode'}}}],
        [{asn1_error,
             {not_found,
                 {'MAP-MS-DataTypes-v6','Ext-BearerServiceCode'}}}],
        {asn1_error,{not_found,{'MAP-MS-DataTypes-v6','SS-List'}}},
        [1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,1],
        asn1_EMPTY,
        [1],
        {asn1_error,
            {not_found,{'MAP-MS-DataTypes-v6','ExtensionContainer'}}},
        undefined,
        [1,0,1,1,1,0,1]}}

Error 3?:
Also in MAP-MS-DataTypes.asn

T-BcsmTriggerDetectionPoint ::= ENUMERATED {
        termAttemptAuthorized (12),
        ... ,
        tBusy (13),
        tNoAnswer (14)}

52> asn1ct:value('MAP-MS-DataTypes-v6','T-BcsmTriggerDetectionPoint').
{ok,asn1_EMPTY}

Is asn1_EMPTY really a valid value for this type?

Hi,

I can't find anything wrong with asn1ct:value/2 it works as expected
for me and we use it
extensively in our test suites.

are you sure that you have the *.asn1db files available when you call
asn1ct:value ?

If you still think this is a bug please provide info for how I can reproduce it.
AFAIK there are no changes to the implementation that should have
impact on asn1ct:value/2.

/Regards Kenneth

The asn1db files are there. Playing around with asn1_db,  I have noticed that
for some asn files the #typedef.checked=false and for some its =true.

The file I mentioned in the first email has all types checked=false.
I have not figured out why some are checked and some are not, but
I suspect it has to do with the compilation order. We currently do not
check for dependencies between asn files, since the compiler
normally generates correct code anyway, so the asn files just
gets compiled in alphabetical order.

Can You please explain a little about checked=true/false,
what it means and how to get from one to the other.
I am trying to generate QuickCheck tests and data generators
from ASN.1 specifications so I have been trying to use asn1_db instead
of making my own asn.1 parser, but I am a little stumped now.
