Hi, i have a bit stupid question. If i use importURI feature in a grammar that has a cross-reference, what is the difference as the ref accesses the other dsl directly regardless the import statement? what does it import actually and to where..

Thanks,
Mokhtar

Hi,

i am not quite sure what this question all about. but importing means: make it visible.

Hi, visible in any sense? assuming that the importing dsl uses no cross-reference

Thank you

No,

you can only reference stuff from the file you are within or from imported files.
so if you dont use any cross refs it is totally nonsense to use imports

then you missed to configure your binding right e.g. by changing the languae workflow i guess

so by default: cross-reference is not cross files unless you ajust an import rule using the special feature importURI?
or oppisite i.e. one needs to first turn off cross accessing and then only imported files can be cross-referenced?

No,

this is the default:

            fragment = scoping.ImportNamespacesScopingFragment {}
            fragment = exporting.QualifiedNamesFragment {}

you can enhance this by adding importedNamespace stuff to the grammar

or you change the workflow e.g. to

 fragment = scoping.ImportURIScopingFragment {}
 fragment = exporting.SimpleNamesFragment {}
 fragment = scoping.ImportNamespacesScopingFragment {}
 fragment = exporting.QualifiedNamesFragment {}

thus only local stuff is accessable unless you add importURI stuff to the grammar

Just to add, enabling both SimpleNamesFragment and QualifiedNamesFragment is not possible because those bindings are final. I have something similar working on Wink
