Hi newsgroup,

In case my question should go to the Xtext/Xbase newsgroup, I apologise
for posting to the wrong newsgroup.

In an Xcore class's operation, I'm trying to reference the operation's
parameter in a lambda expression like so:

class Test
{
op void test(EClass theEClass)
{

theEClass.getEAllReferences().findFirst[getEReferenceType().isSuperTypeOf(theEClass)]
}
}

The Xcore file looks fine (no errors). The generated Java code however
does not compile because parameter theEClass is not final an cannot be
accessed from inside the anonymous inner class generated for the lambda:

public void test(EClass theEClass)
{
EList<EReference> _eAllReferences = theEClass.getEAllReferences();
final Function1<EReference,Boolean> _function = new
Function1<EReference,Boolean>()
{
public Boolean apply(final EReference it)
{
EClass _eReferenceType = it.getEReferenceType();
// ERROR: Cannot refer to a non-final variable theEClass inside an
inner class defined in a
// different method
boolean _isSuperTypeOf =
_eReferenceType.isSuperTypeOf(theEClass);
return Boolean.valueOf(_isSuperTypeOf);
}
};
IterableExtensions.<EReference>findFirst(_eAllReferences, _function);
}

I can work around this problem by defining a val:

op void test(EClass theEClass)
{
val theFinalEClass = theEClass
theEClass.getEAllReferences().
findFirst[getEReferenceType().isSuperTypeOf(theFinalEClass)]
}

theFinalEClass will then become a final variable in the generated Java
source code.

I'm using Xcore 1.0.1.v20120917. I'm, however, not sure whether this is
an Xcore issue or rather a Xbase issue or maybe I'm using lambdas in the
wrong way in the first place...

Thank you and kind regards,
Frank

Frank,

In the Xcore 1.1 stream (i.e., the EMF 2.9 stream), the generator
automatically makes the parameters of an operation with a body final.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=390744

There are many fixes in the latest stream, so you're definitely best of
to install that version.

Thanks Ed, switching to the Xcore 1.1 stream did the trick.
