Hi QVTO-folks again,
the following is OK:
mapping Package::transformHelloComplete ( ) : Package
{
init { log ('Init ' ); var packageName := self.name; }
log ('Do' );
name := packageName;
end { log ('End' ); }
}
The following not:
mapping Package::transformHelloComplete ( ) : Package
{
init { log ('Init ' ); var packageName := self.name; }
population { log ('Do' ); name := packageName; }
end { log ('End' ); }
}
The population-block is not accepted. Is there any reason for it? (Yes, I know, why shouldn't I be that lazy and omitt the population keyword and the brackets. )
Thanks for answer,
Siegfried

Hello Siegfried,
Both cases look OK to me. It looks like a bug to me. Maybe you should
open a bug in Bugzilla for this?

Hi Siegfried,
If you use a population block explicitly, you should also use explicit
object expressions there, i.e.
population {
log('Do');
object result : Package {
name := packageName;
}
}

Hi Siegfried,
When "population" keyword is omitted, the text between the init and end
sections is considered to be contained in an implicit object expression.
If you explicitly use "population" keyword, you have to explicitly use
the object expression, otherwise the qvt compiler doesn't have the idea
that you want to update the properties of the mapping result.
BTW, the explicit population section is sensible in cases when a mapping
has multiple results, e.g.:
mapping EPackage::myMapping() : a : EClass, b : EPackage {
population {
object a : EClass { name := 'C'; };
object b : EPackage { name := 'P'; };
}
}
In most mappings the population keyword is not needed at all.
Best,
- Alex.
