INOUT parameters [message #1070560]

Hello,

I am trying to write an OCL postcondition for a UML operation that has INOUT parameters.

How are INOUT parameters handled in OCL? How can I refer to the value of a parameter before the execution of the operation? The @pre operator can only be used with properties.

Thank you in advance,
Rabab

Hi

Handling INOUT poarameters is one sissue that has yet to aligned between
OCL and UML. My currenrt thinking is that the UML-aligned OCL return
needs to be a tuple of all out, return, inout parameters.

But that is largely irrelevant to your question.

I see no reason why @pre cannot be used with parameters, however it is
redundant, since the parameters are immutable.

Regards
