[XBase] Corss-referencing function definitions [message #1395735] Mon, 07 July 2014 06:12 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,

I have created a simple DSL [0] for defining functions (See [1] for example). Also, defined mapping to the Java model [2]. Do I need to override some method in the XBaseScopeProvider to enable cross-referencing of functions [3] ?

I have looked at few examples [4], however I haven't found any clue so far. Any suggestions/tips ?

[0] https://github.com/nbhusare/XBase-test/blob/master/org.xtext.example.function/src/org/xtext/example/function/FunctionDsl.xtext

[1] function getBooksInLibrary (Library library) : List<Book> {
return library.books
}

[2] https://github.com/nbhusare/XBase-test/blob/master/org.xtext.example.function/src/org/xtext/example/function/jvmmodel/FunctionDslJvmModelInferrer.xtend

[3] function getBook (Library library, String bookName) : Book {

for(Book book : getBooksInLibrary(library)) { // Cross-referencing getBooksInLibrary()
if (book.name.equals(bookName)) {
return book;
}
}
return null
}

Thanks in advance.

Hi

if you infer things correctly and consistently in the jvm model inferrer
you don't need to tweak the xbase scope provider... are you asking
because something is not working in your case?

cheers
Lorenzo

Hi Lorenzo,

Thanks for responding. In the function below, the call to "getBooksInLibrary(library)" doesn't seem to work. Similar to getBook, getBooksInLibrary is a function definition.

In the model inferrer [2], I have mapped to a Java class, and the function is mapped to a Java function. This allows me to do something like new getBooksInLibrary().getBooksInLibrary(library), however, this is not what I need.

In short, the method getBooksInLibrary() should show up when I perform content-assist in the method getBook.

function getBook (Library library, String bookName) : Book {
for(Book book : getBooksInLibrary(library)) { // Cross-referencing getBooksInLibrary()
if (book.name.equals(bookName)) {
return book;
}
}
return null
}

mh... but are Library and Book types visible in your test program? Are
they imported?

Yes, the Library and Book types are imported and are visible inside the function definition. To add, these types are defined using the Entity Dsl.

Hi

I've just noted that in your function dsl

https://github.com/nbhusare/XBase-test/blob/master/org.xtext.example.function/src/org/xtext/example/function/FunctionDsl.xtext

you can define a single function in a FunctionModel

each function is inferred as a method inside an inferred class, thus
from a function you can't simply access another function (because that
corresponds to a method in another class); you should create an instance
of the inferred class...

so you probably need to customize the scoping...

you might also have to rethink your design... first of all, since these
functions should be callable without an object you might want to infer
them as static methods. After that it could probably be enough to make
all the inferred classes available as implicit imports.

cheers
Lorenzo
