I created a (data type?) rule as follows:

GetDelayScaleControl: '@getDelayScaleControl' buffer = ID length = ID (control = ID)?;

So, clearly there are some cases where I want to send two parameters and some where I want to send three.

It's not clear to me how to sort out whether or not the third parameter was passed, in my code generator Xtend. In Java I would just write an overloaded function with the alternate parameter scheme. But in Xtend, I have to ask whether it was passed. If I try to reference it when it's not been passed, nothing comes out, which is fine. But I need to make a decision at code generation time.

Probably something really basic that I'm missing. Thanks for any hints.

Hi Gary, what about a simple thing in your generator like:

if (getDelayScaleControl.control != null) {...} else {...}

Hi,

no this is a normal parser rule

you can do a simple null check like this in your generator. or you use emf facilities

def getInfo(YourRule it) {
		'''
		buffer: «buffer»
		length: «length»
		«IF control != null»
			control: «control»
		«ENDIF»
		«IF eIsSet(MyDslPackage.Literals.YOUR_RULE__CONTROL)»
			control: «control»
		«ENDIF»
		'''
	}
