In search of a good name... [message #518609] Thu, 04 March 2010 10:52 Go to next message

Hi,
I am looking for a good name for a construct used in b3. It is currently
called BuildResult - but this name is not good as the same structure is
used as input to the logic that produces a build result.

The BuildResult is basically a set of URIs, and a set of named and typed
values.

The name AnnotadedURIGroup is one possibility, or even the shorter
URIGroup (as there is no unannotated group to confuse it with).

Other possible names (thinking about the role of the class) could be
BuildData, ResourceData, BuildResources.

So, does anyone have ideas what this "Bunch of URIs and stuff" should be
called? (I am leaning towards URIGroup)

Regards
- henrik

I think URIGroup is too limiting but I like BuildResources. It keeps the door open if we want to add more attributes to
it later. I like the name because this is something that is passed between builders.

Thomas and I had a discussion, and we came to like the term 'BuildBag',
short and snappy, suggest a somewhat unordered collection of build
related stuff...
Unless someone else comes up with something better, I think it is the
winner...

Henrik,

How about BuildDescriptor?

Hi Henrik,

what do you think about BuildContext?

Hi Ed,
We discarded BuildInfo on the grounds that this is a bag of built material passed from one builder to another. It's not
information about something concrete but rather the concrete thing. I think BuildDescriptor falls into the same category.

Hi Sebastian,
To me, the term context denotes something that encompasses a process of some sort. Like an evaluation context, query
context, naming context, etc. The BuildBag contains data passed between builders. There might be many instances of such
bags depending on how many builders that are involved.

There is a context already, it contains things needed for the evaluation and we need to reference this when we explain
how a concern is applied (in what context).

Yes, Henrik suggested that too and I think it's OK. I like BuildBag better though. It's shorter and more about handing
things over :-)

Thomas,

I don't think it's actually the built material though right? A build
bag seems to imply a bag that contains a build, i.e., all the binaries
and other stuff that builds pump out the other end. If I understand
correctly it really is information/data about a build, i.e., a
description of a build, of where to find it, of what's there. I
personally rather dislike the term Bag. We might as well call it a
BuildSack. :-P

Ed, Assume you had an allergic reaction to 'BuildBag' :)
'BuildDescriptor' could work, but to me it sounds like it describes an
action, rather than the input and output of such an action.

How about "BuildMaterial" ?

Henrik,

I think build data gets across the notion that it's information about a
build better than does build material, which again seems more to imply
the actual material results of a build.

Ed,
It *is* the actual material results.

That's why BuildBag is my favorite. A builder produces something, puts in in a bag for another builder to pick up.

You may also want to consider the mathematical definition of a 'bag' used as a data structure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset

Actually, what about "BuiltSet"? (Past not present)

Hi,
I was thinking about that when I suggested "Bag" (a 'multiset').
Thinking a bit more about this, what it contains is really not a
multiset/bag, as each URI would only be represented once (not meaningful
to say that a particular source file, or output file is included more
than once (and the same with annotations/properties)).

So, it is really a Set rather than a Bag, with the logical consequence
of naming the thing "BuildSet". Which I think is the best name so far -
it is a set of things, it is about build data/material/resources, and it
is similar to a corresponding FileSet structure found in other build
technologies.

The only problem with the name BuildSet, is that it probably does not
implement Java Set interface :) because it is a set of two disjunct
types of things (URIs and "variables") - but I can live with that.

Just some more theory:
You could 'normalize' variable names to be mapped to URIs:

variable://path/to/scope/var-name

Then, there would be no problem at all Smile

True, and i thought of that, but rejected the idea because I think the
annotations are conceptually different and used differently.

Thomas and I had a discussion, and we came to like the term 'BuildBag',
short and snappy, suggest a somewhat unordered collection of build

Unless someone else comes up with something better, I think it is the

Henrik,

How about BuildDescriptor?

Hi Ed,
We discarded BuildInfo on the grounds that this is a bag of built material passed from one builder to another. It's not
information about something concrete but rather the concrete thing. I think BuildDescriptor falls into the same category.

Hi Sebastian,
To me, the term context denotes something that encompasses a process of some sort. Like an evaluation context, query
context, naming context, etc. The BuildBag contains data passed between builders. There might be many instances of such
bags depending on how many builders that are involved.

There is a context already, it contains things needed for the evaluation and we need to reference this when we explain
how a concern is applied (in what context).

Yes, Henrik suggested that too and I think it's OK. I like BuildBag better though. It's shorter and more about handing
things over :-)

Thomas,

I don't think it's actually the built material though right? A build
bag seems to imply a bag that contains a build, i.e., all the binaries
and other stuff that builds pump out the other end. If I understand
correctly it really is information/data about a build, i.e., a
description of a build, of where to find it, of what's there. I
personally rather dislike the term Bag. We might as well call it a
BuildSack. :-P

Ed, Assume you had an allergic reaction to 'BuildBag' :)
'BuildDescriptor' could work, but to me it sounds like it describes an
action, rather than the input and output of such an action.

How about "BuildMaterial" ?

Henrik,

I think build data gets across the notion that it's information about a
build better than does build material, which again seems more to imply
the actual material results of a build.

Ed,
It *is* the actual material results.

That's why BuildBag is my favorite. A builder produces something, puts in in a bag for another builder to pick up.

You may also want to consider the mathematical definition of a 'bag' used as a data structure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiset

Hi,
I was thinking about that when I suggested "Bag" (a 'multiset').
Thinking a bit more about this, what it contains is really not a
multiset/bag, as each URI would only be represented once (not meaningful
to say that a particular source file, or output file is included more
than once (and the same with annotations/properties)).

So, it is really a Set rather than a Bag, with the logical consequence
of naming the thing "BuildSet". Which I think is the best name so far -
it is a set of things, it is about build data/material/resources, and it
is similar to a corresponding FileSet structure found in other build
technologies.

The only problem with the name BuildSet, is that it probably does not
implement Java Set interface :) because it is a set of two disjunct
types of things (URIs and "variables") - but I can live with that.

Just some more theory:
You could 'normalize' variable names to be mapped to URIs:

variable://path/to/scope/var-name

Then, there would be no problem at all :)
