xbase expression performance issue with nested feature calls [message #1753914]

Hi,

We are upgrading an xbase based dsl project from 2.3.1 to 2.10 and met a performance issue. It seems that when an xbase expression is deeply nested with feature calls, the performance is poor.
The following xbase expression in op will always block the IDE:

//file: test.dmodel
package t{
entity M{
op t(){
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
(1..10).forEach[
]]]]]]]]]]

}
}
}

This can be reproduced using the example dmodel project.

We are using a xbase based language for GWT development and need html alike deeply nested structure to express screen layout.

Thanks

Was that faster with prior versions?

Yes, version 2.3.1 was much faster and I was able to edit the same code smoothly.

Paul,

Could you run a profiler on it? If so, it would be useful if you could share your results.

Hi Paul, I can confirm that your expression takes significant time. Could you please be so kind to raise an issue here: https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-extras/issues. I would create the profile data then.
