Hi,
I have a DSL based on Xbase from which I infer a JvmModel including som
fields. I use the toField method and set the initializer to an
expression. Suppose the field is of type Person, the name is hallvard
and the XExpression is new Person("Hallvard", 'M'). The following is
then generated:
private Person hallvard = new Function0<Person>() {
public Person apply() {
Person _person = new Person("Hallvard", 'M');
return _person;
}
}.apply();
I would expect a simple
private Person hallvard = new Person("Hallvard", 'M')
instead of the same expression wrapped in a function.
Since the generated code will be read by humans (students), I would
prefer the simple variant. In what cases does the generator use this
complex form and what can I do to help it simplify it?
Hallvard

IIRC this has been implemented as you would expect in latest versions
(at least in 2.5.1), but I cannot test it right now...
