Hi All,
I have a clarification related to enums.
Always first enum value is set by default. For E.g.

enum MyEnum :
val1 | val2 ;

If some value is not set in the editor, by default it takes as val1. How do we avoid this ? Can we do something in the grammar?


Thanks in advance Smile


Regards,
Arshad

You have to define the enum type in an ecore model and import that in your language. In that external model you can declare a default enum literal and omit that one in the grammar rule for the enum type so it's not part of the syntax.

Hi Miro,

Thanks for the reply.

But now say that, if that enum field is optional in my grammar then it will still consider the first element .. So we will have to check explicitly if it's set or not..

yes you can use ecore unsettable eIsSet/eIsAttributeSet for that
