Problem with hyphens in attributes [message #666181]

Hi all,
In an ECORE model, I can declare an attribute with a name including the hyphen, for example:

name-of-attribute: EString

. However, it turns out that we cannot indicate that attribute in an ATL rule. More precisely, the statement:

name-of-attribute<- a.name

will raise an error. Except changing the attribute's name, do you guys have any other solution? Thanks in advance!

I believe this breaks the parsing of the ATL file so you don't have much choice. You can use an imperative block tho :

do{
t.refSetValue('name-of-attribute',a.name);
}

ATL might want to adopt the OCL 2.3 syntax of underescore prefixed
string for awkward identifiers.

_'name-of-attribute'
