Xtext newbie - ID with array declaration [message #1764364]

Hello

Im trying to create a dsl that is essentially identical to a simple c++ header file.

I am unsure how to make the following, within the xtext dsl:

   char              myChar[32];

Thanks

Hi Christian

Apologies for the lack of details.

Dsl
My dsl, currently, looks like this:

struct MyStruct{
	
	int myInt; 
	unsigned int myUnsiggnedInt;
   __time32_t        timestamp;                  
   char              myChar[32];             
	
};

Xtext
And my xtext file is:

grammar mydomain.Mydsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate Mydsl "http://mydomain/mydsl"

Model:
	structs+=struct*;

struct:
	'struct' name=ID  '{'
		attributes+=Attribute*
	'};';

Attribute:
	type=AttributeType name=ID ';';

AttributeType:
	elementType=ElementType (array?='[' (length=INT)? ']')?;

ElementType:
	BasicType | StructType;
	


BasicType:
	typeName=('string' | 'int' | 'boolean'  | 'char' | '__time32_t' |  'unsigned int');

StructType:
	struct=[struct];

Problem
The dsl is currently unable to parse the following line:

   char              myChar[32];

yes but you put the array to the type, not the name (in the grammar)

I have tried your suggestion of:

BasicType:
	typeName=('string' | 'int' | 'boolean' | 'double' | 'char' | '__time32_t' |  'unsigned int');
	
Decl: type=Type name=ID ('[' dim=INT']')?;
enum Type: char | int32;

But I am still getting an error when I try having the following in the dsl:

char              myChar[32];

thats not what i meant

Attribute:
	type=AttributeType name=ID  (array?='[' (length=INT)? ']')? ';';

AttributeType:
	elementType=ElementType (array?='[' (length=INT)? ']')?;

ElementType:
	BasicType | StructType;
	


BasicType:
	typeName=('string' | 'int' | 'boolean'  | 'char' | '__time32_t' | UINT);
	
UINT: 'unsigned' 'int';
