[ATL] : Insertion Order in Sequence ? [message #39609] Mon, 21 May 2007 09:57 Go to next message

I have a question about the insertion in a Sequence

I have an attribute fparamters where i have to insert parameters if i code
in a matched rule

fparameters <- thisModule.newVariable ('1'),
fparameters <- thisModule.newVariable ('2'),
fparameters <- thisModule.newVariable ('3'),
fparameters <- thisModule.newVariable ('4')

Is the insertion order is guarantee ? because i checked in the xml
generated and it is in the invert order . . . what is precnised by ATL for
insertion ?

You should rather write something like:

fparameters <- Sequence {
thisModule.newVariable ('1'),
thisModule.newVariable ('2'),
thisModule.newVariable ('3'),
thisModule.newVariable ('4')
}

This way, you explicitly state that you use a Sequence and initialize
fparameters only once, which results in simpler code.

Note that the fparameters reference must also be ordered in the
metamodel for this to work.

Considering that I still have something to say about this issue even
though you reported it was solved, I do think your question is
interesting anyway :-).

Thank you for your answer but i have something strange with this solution
...

I've this code =>

rule Package2System {
from
p : UML!Package (p.oclIsTypeOf(UML!Package))
using {
seq : Sequence(UML!Operations) = p.getOperations() ;
}
to
s : _IF!System (
id <- p.name,
signal <- completesignal,
signal <- callsignal,
signal <- returnsignal,
process <- p.getProcesses(),
process <- thisModule.createGroupManager(),
),
completesignal : _IF!Signal (
id <- 'u2i__complete'
),
callsignal : distinct _IF!Signal foreach (e in seq)(
id <- 'u2i__call_' + e.owner.name + '_' + e.name,
-- default parameters for a call signal
fparameters <- Sequence {
thisModule.newVariable ('waiting','pid'),
thisModule.newVariable ('caller','pid'),
thisModule.newVariable ('callerObj','pid'),
thisModule.newVariable ('callee','pid')
}
),
returnsignal : distinct _IF!Signal foreach (i in seq)(
id <- 'u2i__return_' + i.owner.name + '_' + i.name,
-- default parameters for a return signal
fparameters <- Sequence{ thisModule.newVariable ('callerObj','pid'),
thisModule.newVariable ('callee','pid')
}
)
}

and the code for newVariable :

rule newVariable(sid : String, thetype : String) {
to
v : _IF!Vars (
name <- sid,
type <- thetype
)
do {
v ;
}
}

and i have a null pointer execution ...
the most strange is the xml state at the end of the execution each
variable is in a different signal

<signal id="u2i__call_Stack_opcs_pop">
<fparameters type="pid" name="waiting"/>
</signal>
<signal id="u2i__call_Stack_opcs_push">
<fparameters type="pid" name="caller"/>
</signal>
<signal id="u2i__call_Stack_pop">
<fparameters type="pid" name="callerObj"/>
</signal>
<signal id="u2i__call_Stack_push">
<fparameters type="pid" name="callee"/>

and what i want is all the variable in each state ....
It worked correctly without the Sequence {....

Hello,

Your problem seems to be with the iterative target pattern element
(i.e., "distinct"-"foreach").

Please, see the following post, which deals with a similar issue:

I'm sorry my two posts seems equivalent but i think you answer to my other
post. (that i'm trying to resolve with your solution) but here I applied
Sequence {thisModule.NewVariable, .... } and it doesn't work

I'm sorry :s

It does not work because of the semantics of "distinct"-"foreach".
I had not realized you were using it when I suggested the modification.

Anyway, my advice is to use lazy rules instead: the code should be
cleaner and simpler :-).

No problem ;-).

Okay it works too

I am now a lazy rules fan !

And now you understand why they are called lazy rules: not only are they
lazily evaluated, but using them requires less code => you can be lazy
too ;-)

[hijacking the thread...]

I have these definitions in my .km3 file :

class BehaviourElement {
...
}
class ClassInstance extends BehaviourElement {
...
reference message[*] : Message oppositeOf classinstance;
...
}
class Message extends BehaviourElement {
...
reference classinstance[1-2] ordered : ClassInstance oppositeOf message;
...
}

but if I assign a Sequence value to the classinstance reference it sometimes comes out reversed
i.e. Sequence{1,2} becomes Sequence{2,1}, but other times the assignment is in order. It seems
to happen when assigning the Sequence value to a reference which also got assigned to in its parent
ATL rule, i.e. :

rule a {
from be : BehaviourElement
to be1 : BehaviourElement(
...
classinstance <- Sequence{r1}
...
)
...
}

rule b extends a {
from be : BehaviourElement(strict)
to be1 : BehaviourElement(
...
classinstance <- Sequence{r2,r3} -- outcome could be anything
...
},
be2 : BehaviourElement(
...
classinstance <- Sequence{r2,r3} -- ok
...
)
}

I guess the ATL engine looses track of order when merging the old and new sequences?
Since I need to filter out some elements, having a fixed order would be quite convenient.

This is with atl2006 and ATL 2.0RC2 (CVS 2007-08-24).

Thanks,
Rene
