I am working on creating xtext grammar but am facing 1 problem
I have a defined grammar below
I want to create an AST which 's lthe same as a 2-way link-list (Each Step will have 2 feature to refer to next step and previous step), namely:

Step1 ----(nextStep)---> Step2 ---(nextStep)---->Step3
and Step1 <---(preStep)----- Step2 <--(preStep)------ Step3

BUT i dont know how to define grammar to achive that goal

Can someone help me, plz !!!

Usecase:
 firstStep = Step
;

Step:
 name = ID
 ({Step.preStep = current} nextStep = Step)?
;

xtext is not good with bidi refs, but you know that you can always use eContainer() to navigate to parent element. i assume it would help here

Hi

In regards to the bidirectional reference, it is easiest to just treat it as unidirectional in the most convenient direction. The magic of EMF will automatically maintain the opposite direction for free.
