Hi,

I'm working on a project that uses Acceleo 3.6.3 in Eclipse Mars.2 for generating C++ code. I came across a rather hard to find issue in our generator, that was caused by the accidental presence of duplicate operations.

I'm trying to understand how it is intended to work, so that I can avoid or detect the problem in the future.

An operation with this exact signature is embedded in Ecore, why is the following not flagged as an illegal duplicate of the embedded operation?
[query public isSuperTypeOf(someClass : EClass) : EBoolean = false /]

Should I file a bug for this?

EClassifier is a super type of EClass. Should adding the following query result in a warning? (or maybe should it even be illegal?)
[query public isSuperTypeOf(someClass : EClassifier) : EBoolean = false /]


If templates with these kinds of "duplicates" are in fact correct, how does the Acceleo interpreter decide which of the three available matching queries is invoked in the following case?
[anEClass.isSuperTypeOf(anEClass) /]


Greetings,
Jelle

Hi,

I've added a bug report for the first question at: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=511837.

From the Acceleo interpreter code it looks like the second query is allowed by design. It looks like an ordering is attempted according to the inheritance relation of the parameters, such that the most specific version of the query that applies is tried first.

Greetings,
Jelle
