Hi all Smile

My DSL grammar defines a base expression in this way:

BaseExpression:
  ( t='this' |
    res+=SuperExpression |
    t='true' |
    t='false' |
    t=FLOAT_LITERAL |
    t=INTEGER_LITERAL |
    t=BYTE_LITERAL |
    t=STRING_LITERAL |
    t='null' |
    ref=[Variable] |
    '(' res+=Expression ')' |
    res+=ObjectCreation 
  ) ( res+=MethodCallSuffix | res+=FieldSelectSuffix )*
;

MethodCallSuffix:
  '.' methodMixin=[MixinDeclaration] '.' methodName=[MethodDeclaration|FQN] list=ActualParameters
;

FieldSelectSuffix:
  '.' mixinName=[MixinDeclaration] '.' fieldName=[FieldDeclaration|FQN]
;


I'd like to scope the MixinDeclaration references in last two rules to limit the referenceable mixins.

To do that, I'm trying to define two methods in my DSLScopeProvider:

IScope scope_MethodCallSuffix_methodMixin(BaseExpression expr, EReference mixin) {
   ...
}
	
IScope scope_FieldSelectSuffix_mixinName(BaseExpression expr, EReference mixin) {
   ...
}


The referenceable mixins depends on what precedes the '.', but I don't understand how I can obtain this previous element. For example, if before I have a MethodCallSuffix, then I have to consider the return type of the previous called method; if I have a variable or object creation, the type of this object; and so on.

Could you please help me? Is there somewhere an example of a similar scoping?


Thanks in advance,
Marco

Hi,

you might get some ideas from here:

Alerternatively consider to use Xbase/JvmModelinferrer to get most of it 4 free.
