Providing type for keywords [message #1731047] Mon, 02 May 2016 14:38 Go to next message

I am learning/trying to implement scoping for my dsl, which is small java-like one. I have two keywords I need to provide a type and consecutively scope for, one is this and the other is here.

In the TypeProvider, type of this is computed as the containing class, and the scope is members of the class. The problem is to compute the type of here, which should be a class contained in the small library I wrote for my dsl. I don't know how to 'link' the two.

Can someone please help? Thanks a lot

do you use xbase or not? how does your grammar look like?
this the keyword itself a cross reference or not? .....

which type system do you use?

p.s:

simply asking the delegating scope provider for the "here" thing does not work?

Hi Christian,
Thanks a lot for your responsiveness.

I am not using xbase.
My grammar is similar to this one
https://github.com/LorenzoBettini/packtpub-xtext-book-examples/blob/master/org.example.smalljava/src/org/example/smalljava/SmallJava.xtext
with only a few additions.
I was basically copying the approach applied in that book example, until I ran into the problem of providing the type of 'here'.

I've just googled, are you suggesting I should in some way use IDelegatingScopeProvider ?

I tried this solution and it works nicely when the class 'Here' is in the same source folder, like other user-defined classes.
In my case, the class 'Here' is defined in another package. Only if I type 'here' explicitly in the test program, say, write 'val here:Here;' then I'm able to select members define in 'Here'.

(When I created an eclipse project for my dsl I added as dependency the project where my package is defined).

Should there be some code to suggest to look for the class definition in the package? Perhaps in the ScopeProvider..

Thanks a lot for your wisdom and time Smile

I uploaded my code here:
https://github.com/marinamygithub/xtext_project/tree/master/org.xtext.example.ADSL

In my case 'here' should be of type Place, which is a class defined in main.adsl

Yes but I don't see why you cannot adopt this from my example. I ask the scope for a sjclass called here you can ask it for a sjclass called place

p.s.

did you test the "Qualified name" of Here? maybe you have to ask the scope for

full.qualified.name.Here

Thus QualifiedName.create("full","qualified","name","Here")
