Trying to create Reverse cross-reference index [message #1714449]

Hi,

I'm trying to create reverse reference index for the grammar like below.

Bid:
entityName='BID' name=INTID '{' attributes+=(BidAttribute | ProfileAttribute)* '}'
;
BidAttribute:
(BidRidAttribute)
;

BidRidAttribute:
attributeName='rid' ':' '{' rids+=[Rid|INTID] (',' rids+=[Rid|INTID])* '}'
;

Rid:
entityName='RID' name=INTID '{' (attributes+=(RidAttribute | ProfileAttribute))* '}'
;

Is there anyway I can get all bid references for a given rid?

The xtext index iresoucedescriptions contains a set of i resourcedescription which have a list of ireferencedescruptions which are source target pairs

Hi Christian,

Thank you very much for quick reply. Not sure I understood correctly. I'm sorry for being dumb. Is there anyway you can paste some sample code?

Thanks alot. I'm not sure how does this work. Here is the snippet I have tried

def getReferencedResourceDescriptions(EObject o){
val index = rdp.getResourceDescriptions(o.eResource)
val rd = index.getResourceDescription(o.eResource.URI)
val referenceList = rd.referenceDescriptions.toList

}
Reference list is having the ones it refers too but not the ones who referred it. I'm looking for a list of entities who cross-referrenced the given object.

I really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Hi i cannot do the coding for you

(1) obtain all iresourcedescription
(2) iterate through all reference descriptions
(3) filter them for the target object uri being the uri of the object you look for

I'm sorry christian. I thought there is a simpler way to achieve this instead of iterating though every time.

Anyhow, thanks for the help.

depending on your usecase you may have a look at IReferenceFinder

Initially, I tried creating inverted index by extending DefaultResourceDescriptionStrategy like below.

override createEObjectDescriptions(EObject eObject, IAcceptor<IEObjectDescription> acceptor) {
if (eObject != null) {
switch (eObject) {
Bid: {
val Bid bid = eObject as Bid
val fullyQualifiedName = bid.fullyQualifiedName
// Go through each cross references and add the bid to its user data keys
bid.attributes.filter(Rid).forEach[R | EObjectDescription::create(R.fullyQualifiedName, R, newHashMap("bid"->bid.name))]
true
}
}

I thought this way, we can have inverted index as well along with the xtext generated index. For some reason I'm unable to get the actual RID object located in different file.
