Hi Christian,

I have detected a problem when resolving a featureCallExp which will
involve an implicit collect iterator.

Think about getting a collection of names from a collection of Classes.
for example the following expression should be useful

aCollectionOfClasses.name

because its implicit translated to

aCollectionOfClasses->collect(i | i.name);

If the name of a property doesn't exist, an NPE is thrown when trying to
create the implicit collect.

/*
* If the source type is a collection, then need there is an implicit
COLLECT operator.
* Note that this rule is not called after "->".
*/
if ((source != null) && source.getType() instanceof CollectionType) {
astNode = createImplicitCollect(
source,
(FeatureCallExp<C>) astNode,
env,
simpleNameCS);
}

The problem is that dummyInvalidLiteralExp is created if the feature is
not found, so a classCastException is thrown when doing the the typeCasting.

It seems to be a regression bug.

An extra question for you, why do you mention that 'Note that this rule
is not called after "->"'. How should it be interpreted the following
featureCallExp ?

aCollectonOfClasess->name

Cheers,
Adolfo.

Hi Christian

Confirmed that It's a bug...

The OCL crash, if you access an in-existent property of a multivalued
property (or of a collection).

This should be the resolved bug which caused the regression:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=226083

I'll raise a bugzilla.

Cheers,
Adolfo.

Hi, Adolfo,

I have resolved the bug. Note that, when you find bugs, you can just
raise them in bugzilla and save yourself some typing :-)

I don't think I am the author of the "note that this rule ..."
comment, but what it means is that the implicit collect iterator is
only created for dot-navigation ('.' operator). The arrow is applied
to values that already are collections (or are coerced to singleton
sets) so there is no collecting to do.

Note, also, that your example

aCollectionOfClases->name

is ill-formed OCL because 'name' is not an attribute of the collection
type. The arrow operator exclusively indicates features of
collections (which is why the rules for scalar coercion and implicit
collect are feasible). Currently, OCL only defines operations for
collection types, no attributes.

Cheers,

Christian
