Strip comments during serialization? [message #1137216] Mon, 14 October 2013 10:37 Go to next message

In my DSL I code gen some part of the AST verbatim, however I do not want to serialize single line or multiline comments.

What is the easiest way to tell the serializer to ignore serializing certain tokens such as comments? I tried looking into ICommentAssociator but do not see a place where this is bootstrapped in the generated DI module.

Any heads up on this would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

At least in my DSL, these lines are ignored.
I think comments (single line and multy line) are ignored because they are "hidden".

My Grammar starts:
grammar de.ulrichmerkel.umecif1.UmeCif1 with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals
generate umeCif1 "http://www.ulrichmerkel.de/umecif1/UmeCif1"

And the referenced Terminals hold the hidden:
grammar org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals hidden(WS, ML_COMMENT, SL_COMMENT)

Hi Uli,

Same as that I also use Terminals as my base grammar but still comments are associated to some grammar elements when the model is serialized using the xtext Serializer, are you explicitly using the Serializer in your project?

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,
no I don't use it explicitly

As a xtext novice, I often do not see the importance of hints specified in the posts, just like the Serialiser in your one.

But I'm improving ...
