Scoping across multiple resources [message #885102] Tue, 12 June 2012 09:23 Go to next message

Hello

I'm a bit stuck trying to enable my editor to function properly with cross references to other files.
Although there are a number of hints out there in several blogs and articles I still couldn't puzzle together a working solution. I got the point, that there is an index that keeps track of the exported names in the accessible resources which are not necessarily present in memory. In order to maintain semantic integrity I want my editor to filter the available cross reference candidates from other resources, which is fairly simple in a single file.

Let me give an example for the single-file solution.

A simple grammar:
grammar test.scoping.ScopingTest3DSL with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate scopingTest3DSL "ht tp:// w ww.scoping.test/ScopingTest3DSL"

ScopingTestPackageRule returns ScopingTestPackage:
	'package' name=ID ':'
	imports+=ImportRule*
	statements+=StatementRule*;
	
FQN: ID('.'ID)*;
FQNWC: FQN '.*' ;

ImportRule returns Import:
	'import' importedNamespace=FQNWC
;
	
StatementRule returns MyStatement:
	(DeclarationRule | ReferenceRule) ';'	
;

enum EColor : red | blue;

DeclarationRule returns MyDeclaration:
	'declare' name=ID 'is' color=EColor
;

ReferenceRule returns MyReference:
	'referTo' color=EColor declarationRef=[MyDeclaration|FQN]
;


And my scope provider that enforces semantic integrity:
public class ScopingTest3DSLScopeProvider extends AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider {

	public IScope scope_MyReference_declarationRef(MyReference ctx, EReference ref) { 
		
		System.err.println("scope_MyReference_declarationRef(" + ctx + ")");
		
		List<MyDeclaration> resultList = new ArrayList<MyDeclaration>();
		
		if (ctx.getColor() != null) {
			
			ScopingTestPackage container = EcoreUtil2.getContainerOfType(ctx, ScopingTestPackage.class);
			
			List<MyStatement> statements = EcoreUtil2.getAllContentsOfType(container, MyStatement.class);
			
			int thisPos = statements.indexOf(ctx);
			for(int i = 0; i < thisPos; i++)
				if (statements.get(i) instanceof MyDeclaration) {
					
					MyDeclaration declaration = MyDeclaration.class.cast(statements.get(i));
					if ( ctx.getColor().equals(declaration.getColor()) )
						resultList.add( declaration );
				} //for statements
					
		} //color!= null
		
		return Scopes.scopeFor(resultList);		
	}

}


I'm using this scope provider to enforce that a reference statement may refer only to declarations of the given color plus the declaration-statement has to appear before the reference-statement. Same thing as with declaring and accessing typed variables in a programming language.

My goal is to include declarations from other files via a package-import while preserving my color-check.

Bottom line to me it seems to be a qiet common task. Hints and advises?

What's the best approach to implementing that?
Is there a well documented example I've missed so far?

Have not read your code in detail - but a tip is that it is possible to
associate data with exported objects (i.e. make it available in the
index) - this way you do not have to instantiate other resources to find
the information you need. I.e. if you can not encode what you want in
the exported name, you can do it with extra data.

I do a lot of processing based on the index in cloudsmith / geppetto @
github as I do not use the default scoping/linking. In particular as I
do a lot of searching in the index, I start by creating a quick
lookup-map based on last part of name (more than 10x speed improvement
in my case).

Don't know if that helps you in any way...
