Hi,
TCS has a notation for postfix operators, but the result looks weird for
arity = 2. Is this maybe only intended for unary operators?
Like for any binary operator "+", in theory one could have it infix, as in
3+2, or prefix, as in +(3,4), or postfix as in (3,4)+
but I guess none of these are covered by TCS, right?

Hi Thibault,
"Postfix" has indeed only been used for unary operators so far.
Because it is possible to represent "(3, 4)+" without using
operatorTemplates, you may directly encode the postfix notation using
standard templates.
For instance:
- Metamodel excerpt:
abstract class Expression {}
class BinaryOpExp extends Expression {
reference leftOperand container : Expression;
attribute operator : Operator;
reference rightOperand container : Expression;
}
enumeration Operator {
literal plus;
literal minus;
literal and;
literal or;
-- ...
}
- TCS excerpt:
template BinaryOpExp
: "(" leftOperand "," rightOperand ")" operator
;
enumerationTemplate Operator
: #plus = "+",
#minus = "-",
#and = "and",
#or = "or"
;
Of course, it would also be possible to implement support for postfix
operatorTemplates in TCS.
Best regards,
Frédéric Jouault
