Recursive Functions [message #1828404]

Is it possible to write recursive functions in M2Doc?

I would like to structure part of my output document based on the functional breakdown of my system.

e.g.

Top Level Function
- Child Function 1
- Child of Child Function 1
- Child Function 2
- Child of Child Function 2
- Child of Child Function 2

The best way I think of to achieve this would be a recursive function. But I'm not sure if this is possible or how I might do it?

The alternative would be to hardcode a few levels of recursion in the template using for loops and if statements. But this would set a hard limit on the number of levels the functions could be decomposed into, which is why I was trying to avoid it.

It's possible using template constructs. It's basically a function you can call, and you can call it recursively.

You can find a complete exemple here.

You could also use the closure operation from ocl to create recursive expressions. I have used it to create the kind of structure you are looking for for my logical components using the code

{m:for subLogicalComponent | RootLogicalComponent.eContents(la::LogicalComponent)->closure(logicalComponent | logicalComponentc.eContents(la::LogicalComponent))}
<code or text to print for each subLogicalComponent goes here>
{m:endfor}

I have renamed the variables for you to make them explicit. Hopefully you find this helpful!
