Hello,

I have a question regarding the implementation of
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EcoreUtil.EqualityHelper.haveEqualFeature(EObject,
EObject, EStructuralFeature) method.

It seems to me, that if both features are not set, then
function can return true without comparing the actual values.
For simple types that's not a big deal, but it makes a difference for
collections, as they become instantiated during the read.

Is there any specific reason for the current implementation?
Should I file a bug?

Regards,
Alex

Yes it would be odd that they should have different values if they're
not set. Such a case is possible with Ecore which has features that are
effectively mutually derived, e.g.,
EClass.getESuperTypes/getEGenericSuperTypes, but even in that case,
either the super types or the generic super types (currently both but
with your suggestion only one of them) will still be compared to yield
the correct result.

No, I think your suggestion is a good one.

Hi Ed,

Thanks for the comments, I filed a bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=397444

btw, where can I find the EMF formatter settings, mentioned in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EMF/Setting_up_a_development_environment?
I failed to find that file in the git repository.

Regards,
Alex

Alex,

The wiki still talks about CVS so that's out of date too. :-(

We (I) don't generally format any of our code; it's all hand formatted...
