[ATL] how to match rules only once [message #36003] Fri, 04 May 2007 07:57 Go to next message

Hi,

to transform something like

<comp name="1"/>
<comp name="2"/>

to

<comp name="1"/>
<comp name="2"/>
<comp name="3"/>

I came up with this rule (atl2006):

rule R {
from c1 : mm!component, c2 : mm!component(c1 <> c2)
to c3(...), c4(...), c5(...)
}
where c3 and c4 are copies of c1 and c2, and c5 is new

This works, but it matches and transforms both (<comp name="1"/> , <comp
name="2"/>) and (<comp name="2"> , <comp name="1"> ), so the output
consists of 6 component elements.

Is there any way to tell the interpreter that it should transform only once?

Regards,
Rene

Hi Rene,

You could use Maps, Sequences or other Collections to retrieve the
already treated elements.

e.g. for your example (and many other):

*helper* *def*: assoMap : Map(mm!component, *Sequence*(mm!component)) = Map{};
*rule* isAlreadyConsidered(ref1 : mm!component, ref2 : mm!component) {
*do* {
*if* (not thisModule.assoMap.get(ref2).oclIsUndefined()) {
*if* (thisModule.assoMap.get(ref2)->includes(ref1)) {
true;
}
*else* {
thisModule.assoMap <- thisModule.assoMap.including(ref1, *Sequence*{ref2});
false;
}
}
*else* {
thisModule.assoMap <- thisModule.assoMap.including(ref1, *Sequence*{ref2});
false;
}
}
}


best regard,

*R

You have to lock your match filter:
rule R {
from c1 : mm!component, c2 : mm!component(
c1 <> c2
and not thisModule.isAlreadyConsidered(c1, c2)
)
to c3(...), c4(...), c5(...)
}


You could prefer used an helper

*helper def:* isAlreadyConsidered(ref1 : mm!component, ref2 : mm!component) : Boolean =
*if* (not thisModule.assoMap.get(ref2).oclIsUndefined()) {
*if* (thisModule.assoMap.get(ref2)->includes(ref1)) {
true;
}
*else* {
thisModule.assoMap <- thisModule.assoMap.including(ref1, *Sequence*{ref2});
false;
}
}
*else* {
thisModule.assoMap <- thisModule.assoMap.including(ref1, *Sequence*{ref2});
false;
}
;

best regard,

*R

Uhm, this doesn't work, the output is still duplicated (i.e. c21, ...,
are duplicated). Your code doesn't compile either.

Code (simplified):


--@atlcompiler atl2006
module add_module;
create OUT : deploymentView from IN : deploymentView;

-- from rchevrel@sodius.com on newsgroup eclipse.modeling.m2m on
news.eclipse.org
helper def : assoMap : Map(deploymentView!Component,
Sequence(deploymentView!Component)) =
Map{};
helper def : isAlreadyConsidered(ref1 : deploymentView!Component, ref2 :
deploymentView!Component) : Boolean =
if (not thisModule.assoMap.get(ref2).oclIsUndefined()) then
thisModule.assoMap.get(ref2)->includes(ref1)
else
false
endif ;

rule add_module {
from
c11 : deploymentView!Component,
c12 : deploymentView!Component(c12 <> c11 and not
thisModule.isAlreadyConsidered(c11, c12))
to
-- skeleton output code for newsgroup
c21 : deploymentView!Component,
-- more output elements ...
-- register as considered, the parser doesn't allow this in the helper
do {
thisModule.assoMap <- thisModule.assoMap.including(c11, Sequence{c12}) ;
}
} -- add_module


Debugging this shows that assoMap stays empty/undefined? It isn't shown
in any view, since it isn't a variable.

An alternative would be to write some post-processing script that merges
elements with equal types and names.

Rene

Hi Rene,

I know why the code does not compile, it must be a called rule, not an
helper because helpers don't support "map <- map", sorry for my last post ;)

I have worked again on this code, it work very fine now ! (thanks to
Eric Vépa)

------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
helper def: assoMap : Map(deploymentView!Component,
Sequence(deploymentView!Component)) = Map{};
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
rule isAlreadyConsidered(ref1 : deploymentView!Component, ref2 :
deploymentView!Component) {
using {
seq : Sequence(deploymentView!Component) =
if thisModule.assoMap.get(ref1).oclIsUndefined()
then Sequence{}
else thisModule.assoMap.get(ref1)
endif;
}
do {
if (not thisModule.assoMap.get(ref2).oclIsUndefined()) {
if (thisModule.assoMap.get(ref2)->includes(ref1)) {
true;
}
else {
thisModule.assoMap <-
thisModule.assoMap.including(ref1, seq->including(ref2));
false;
}
}
else {
thisModule.assoMap <- thisModule.assoMap.including(ref1,
seq->including(ref2));
false;
}
}
}
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------
rule add_module {
from
c11 : deploymentView!Component,
c12 : deploymentView!Component (
c12 <> c11 and
not thisModule.isAlreadyConsidered(c11, c12)
)
to
c21 : deploymentView!Component ...
}
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------

I hope that this code will be useful for many people ;)

Hello all,

Thank you very much for sorting out this problem ;-).


However, may I suggest an alternative, and possibly simpler solution? I
need to do this to feel useful on this one ;-).

Moreover, I usually prefer to stick with declarative style when
imperative code is not *absolutely* necessary.


It seems to me that no two classes should have the same name in your
source model. If this is really the case, then you may use the fact that
strings are totally ordered, and use the following guard in your rule:

c1.name < c2.name


This should work (please confirm!), requires less code, memory, and
cycles, and is fully declarative!


Regards,

Frédéric Jouault

Just tested this using c1.id < c2.id, it indeed works ;-) (i.e. no duplicates in the output).
id is an attribute with the EMF isID option set.

Rene
