Combining the IJvmModelInferrer with custom code generation [message #755749] Wed, 09 November 2011 13:21 Go to next message

Hi,

I am extending Xbase and use the IJvmModelInferrer to map my language to JVM Concepts. This works quite amazing with the resulting generated Java code.
However there are some things that need custom code and cannot be simply mapped.
So my question is how can I customize the code generation already done by Xtext?

What kind of things are that?

You can add method bodies and field initializers using
JvmTypesBuilder.setBody(JvmExecutable, Function1<ImportManager, ?
extends CharSequence>)
JvmTypesBuilder.initialization(JvmField, Function1<ImportManager, ?
extends CharSequence>)

What I mean is the following. I am using xtend2 for code generation for example:
	return element.toMethod(name, returnType)[
		for(p : element.advice.parameters.parameters) {
			parameters += p.toParameter(p.name, p.parameterType)
		}
		documentation = element.documentation
		final = element.^final
		body = element.body
	]


This causes a method like below to be generated:
  public void before_advice_method() {
      System.out.println("Advice 1");
      this.authenticator.authenticate();
  }

The body of the method can contain arbitrary Java statements from my DSL. I want to include my own code beside the already generated body of Java statements for example instead of "body = element.advice.body" I tried the following:

	body = ['''
		«element.body»
		System.out.println("Some generated custom statement besides the automatically generated statements");
	''']

However the «element.body» doesn't cause the proper generation of Java statements. The above leads to the following:
  public void before_advice_method() {
    org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.impl.XBlockExpressionImpl@4772dd46
    System.out.println("Some generated custom statement besides the automatically generated statements");
  }

instead of
  public void before_advice_method() {
      System.out.println("Advice 1");
      this.authenticator.authenticate();
      System.out.println("Some generated custom statement besides the automatically generated statements");
  }

How do I cause the XBlockExpressionImpl to be properly converted to Java statements?

Have a look at JvmModelGenerator and/or xbasecompiler

Hi

I've just blogged something similar/related:

"Xtext 2.1: using Xbase expressions"

http://www.rcp-vision.com/?p=1640

hope it helps
cheers

Thanks Lorenzo,

That's a great blog post indeed. You described a switch to your custom generator instead of the JvmModelGenerator. What was not very clear to me is if we could still use the JvmModelInferrer when using the custom code generator you described. Do you know if this is possible?

I was able to put the following into the JvmModelInferrer which helped:

...
return element.toMethod(name, returnType)[
	for(p : element.advice.parameters.parameters) {
		parameters += p.toParameter(p.name, p.parameterType)
	}
	documentation = element.documentation
	final = element.^final

	val importManager = new ImportManager(true, getJvmType(aspectFQN))
        val mainMethod = compile(element.advice.body, importManager)
        body = ['''
		«mainMethod»
		System.out.println("Some generated custom statement besides the automatically generated statements");
	''']
)]
....
def compile(XExpression xExpression, ImportManager importManager) {
	val result = new StringBuilderBasedAppendable(importManager)
	compiler.toJavaStatement(xExpression, result, true)
	result
}


However now I also would like to customize the import statements. I know how to do that according to your post however I would like to avoid throwing away my JvmModelInferrer xtend class.

well, I still haven't switched to JvmModelInferrer, but I think that
could be possible... actually I had pointed you to my post just for the
part concerning calling XbaseCompiler explicitly: I didn't mean to point
you to the part concerning using a custom code generator :)

Thanks Lorenzo,

I was able to use both my JvmModelInferrer and custom generator.
I extended the org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.compiler.JvmModelGenerator with a custom implementation. Then I override relevant methods.

public class CustomJvmModelGenerator extends
		org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.compiler.JvmModelGenerator {

	@Inject
	private TypeReferences references;

//override methods
....
}


And for the runtime module:

 @SuppressWarnings("all")
public abstract class AbstractAspectJRuntimeModule extends DefaultRuntimeModule {
....
	public Class<? extends org.eclipse.xtext.generator.IGenerator> bindIGenerator() {
//		return org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.compiler.JvmModelGenerator.class;
		return CustomJvmModelGenerator.class;
	}
}
