terminal rule that returns a float [message #493636]

Hi,
I would like to build a terminal rule that returns value of type float.

import "http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore" as ecore

terminal ENG returns ecore::EFloat :
('-'|'+')? (INT '.' INT| '.' INT | INT '.') ('e' ('-'|'+') INT)?;

(the rule definition come from another thread in this forum about how to define a Real)

I stick with the same error marker in the editor --- java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Float ...on every "supposed" float value

Any idea?

Cheers,
Stefano

Hi Stefano,

afaik, you need to provide your own implementation of IValueConverterService (see [1] page 14 -> Return types).

perfect! thank you very much. My own ValueConverterService now contains

@ValueConverter(rule = "ENG")
	public IValueConverter<Float> ENG() {
		return new AbstractToStringConverter<Float>() {
			@Override
			protected Float internalToValue(String string, AbstractNode node) throws ValueConverterException {
				return Float.valueOf(string);
			}
			
		};
	}

Cheers,
Stefano

Hello,

I am trying to do the same, bur I wasn't able to figure in what class to add the methods. I tried creating a new one that extends DefaultTerminalConverters as suggested in the manual, but I think it is not being compiled and added to the generated dsl files.

Thanks,

Horacio

You have to bind the IValueConverterService to your service in your runtime module.

I know, that is what the manual says.. Don't mean to be rude but what does that mean in plain old 1st year English? Shocked

Thanks,

Horacio

You have a <DSLName>RuntimeModule.java file in your sources. Just add :

@Override
public Class<? extends IValueConverterService> bindIValueConverterService() {
return <YourValueConverter>.class;
}

Hi Stefano,

I had similar problems and tried my way with value converter.

However, if you use the latest milestone of 0.8.0 stream the value converter will automatically delegate to the EcoreFactory for datatypes without an explicit conversion rule. Floats, Doubles, Dates etc should work out of the box this way.

As long as you stick with the string representation used in EcoreFactory.
For float that is the contract of
java.lang.Float.valueOf(String)
