Hi,

I know this can't be possible, but a debug session this morning showed a class with two distinct fields having same name -and same type, String.
index.php/fa/10851/0/
Since this type is generated by EMF, I post in this forum, but I suspect this might be a bug of eclipse debugger... have any of you witnessed such a behaviour ? I'll try to make a minimal project reproducing this if I can't figure out what is wrong

the type is an EMF enum, without any operation, the name field value specified in the model is the lower case one, and the name field value used by getByName static method is the upper case one

many thx for your help,
w.

EDIT :
almost had it on a minimal sample (attached): debugger still shows the two fields, but value used in by getByName is the expected one (lower case)

You mean in Java classes...

Not fields declared in the same class. A super class and a derived
class can have the same field names.

Any duplicates in the Java itself is something the compiler should
complain about...

Hi Ed,

Right, I mean in a java class;

Regarding inheritance, I'm not discovering Java, hence my surprise Wink debug sessions I made never showed overloaded fields twice; even so, I can't figure out how these could have different values...

Got it with another test, using a 'regular' enum :
public enum EnumTest {
	TRUE("true"),
	FALSE("false"),
	UNDEFINED("undefined");
	
	private String name;
	
	private EnumTest (String name) {
		this.name = name;
	}
	
	public static EnumTest getByName(String name) {
		for (EnumTest e : EnumTest.values()) {
			if (e.name.equals(name)) {
				return e;
			}
		}
		
		return null;
	}
}


looks like this is a feature of eclipse debugger, which makes enum constants values appear as a 'name' private field... So this is not really a bug, and has nothing to do with EMF.

Thx for your time,
w.

Hi

This is very unlikely to be a feature of the Eclipse debugger; it does
occasionally fail to refresh the screen correctly, but I have seen
duplicate names myself.

The debugger is almost certainly correctly showing multiple private Java
fields from different superclasses.

If you enable Show Qualified Names, all may become clear.

Regards

Ed Willink
