Use of operation parameters and @pre in ocl constraints [message #33367] Fri, 05 May 2006 14:00 Go to next message

Hello,

I'm working with EMFT OCL and I have some problems :

- When I write constraints on an operation the parameters aren't recognize
when they are used. By example :

context ClassName::operationName(param::Integer)
pre : param > 0

the error is : org.eclipse.emf.ocl.parser.SemanticException: ERROR in
(variableExpCS): (Unrecognized variable: (param))


- When I use @pre in ocl constraints : this keyword seems to not be
recognize : The errors are :
org.eclipse.emf.ocl.parser.ParserException: 1:11:1:11 token "@ is invalid"
and org.eclipse.emf.ocl.parser.ParserException: 1:1:1:3 token "pre is
invalid"


Do you know theses problems ? and if yes are they planned to be resolved ?

Regards

Hi, Sebastien,

In the first case, you are declaring a parameter named "param::Integer".
You only want one colon (":"). I think this should have been caught as a
syntax error :-) In any case, with only one colon, it should work.

I suspect that your @pre problem is due to attempting to use it in an
invalid context; it is only recognized on feature call expressions
(operation calls, property navigation). If you provide an example as you
did for the parameter problem, I could help you to identify the cause.

HTH,

Christian

Hi,

Sorry for my mistake in my post but I use ":" in my OCL constraint and not
"::". The problem doesn't come from that.

For the @pre I use it like that :
context ClassName::operationName(param:Integer)
pre : param > 0
post : classParam = classParam@pre + param

Thanks for your answer

Hi, Sebastien,

What is 'classParam'? Is that a property of the 'ClassName' classifier?

Ah ... I think I see it now. You need a ":" after the context operation
declaration, even if it has no result type. So, this should read

context ClassName::operationName(param:Integer) :
pre : param > 0
post : classParam = classParam@pre + param

Looking at operationContextDeclCS (section 12.13.8), it includes operationCS
(12.13.10) which in both the [A] and [B] forms requires the ':' despite the
typeCS being optional.

The attrOrContextCS (12.13.3) does not have this problem because the typeCS
is mandatory for property context, and the classifierContextDeclCS
(12.13.5) also doesn't have a trailing ':'.

The reason why I think this is an error in the spec is that the examples of
operation constraints in section 7.5.14 do not show a ':'.

Perhaps you could raise a bugzilla requesting that the ':' be optional when
the operation has no result type? I would like to still support the ':'
for compatibility, but the OCL is cleaner without it.

Cheers,

Christian
