Hi,

I've been trying out the HUTN format, and it's fairly easy to work with.
One thing that's useful us the way you specify object identities, e.g.
Person "Hallvard" { ... }. However, since the identity is mandatory, you
have to invent identities even for objects that you don't need to link
to. Would it make sense to make the object identity optional? E.g.
Person { ... }

Hi Hallvard,

Thanks for the feedback. I think this is a good idea. In fact, it's a part of the HUTN specification, and I've discovered that it's not possible in Epsilon HUTN due to a typo in the parser!

I've opened the following bug to cover the problem, and I'm about to commit a fix to SVN:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=323804


This fix allows the following forms:

Person "John" {}  // Identifiable
Person {}               // Anonymous
Person "John";    // Identifiable, no body
Person;                 // Anonymous, no body


The last two forms are used in examples in the HUTN specification (but oddly are not possible with the grammar in the HUTN specification!)

Cheers,
Louis.

Aha! You see I tried, and when it didn't work I assumed I had
misunderstood the specification.

When will this be released and available through the install manager
(together with other recent fixes)?

And I'm glad you mentioned this problem. I've been meaning to see whether Epsilon HUTN had this bug for a while.

We're thinking of putting out an interim update very soon (in the next week), which will include all of these fixes. Before we release the update, we just need to fix a bug with HUTN on Windows, which I'm investigating this afternoon.

If you use Twitter, you can follow us (@epsilonews), and we'll tweet when the new interim release is out.

Cheers,
Louis.

Thanks a lot! After updating I can use EDouble constants and the
shorthand notation for object creation in HUTN.
