Hello!

I'm trying to make C-like structs with xtext, but I face a problem with qualified names:
The struct IS a type, and a type can have another type as its type. (that sounds weird ^^)

So now i want to create a qualified name that looks something like this:

variable.substruct.subsubstruct.variable
x.struct1.struct2.y //for example


Example:
TYPE
	koords : STRUCT
		x : INT;
		y : INT;
		z : INT;
	END_STRUCT;
	
	koords2 : STRUCT
		x : koords;
		y : koords;
		z : koords;
	END_STRUCT;
END_TYPE

VAR PRIVATE
	myWorld : koords;
	myOtherWorld: koords2;
END_VAR

ROUTINE main
	//Should not work
	myWorld.koords.integer := 5;
	myWorld.koords2.koords := 5;
	
	
	//Should work
//	myWorld.x :=5;
//	myOtherWorld.x.x := 5;
END_ROUTINE


Grammar:
grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate myDsl "..."

Model:
	(elements+=AbstractElement)*
;
	
AbstractElement:
	types += TypeBlock | routines += RoutineBlock | variables += VariableBlock
;

TypeBlock: {TypeBlock}
	'TYPE'
		(types+=Type)*
	'END_TYPE'
;
Type: name=ID ':' (type=SimpleType | struct=Struct | typeRef=[Type]) ';';
	
Struct: {Struct}
	'STRUCT'
		(variables+=Variable)*
	'END_STRUCT'
;

VariableBlock: {VariableBlock}
	'VAR' (isGlobal?='GLOBAL' |  isPrivate?='PRIVATE')
		(variables+=Variable)*
	'END_VAR'
;
Variable: name=ID ':' (typeRef=[Type] | type=SimpleType) ';';
	
RoutineBlock:
	'ROUTINE' name=ID
		(statements+=Statement)*
	'END_ROUTINE'
;
Statement: DotExpression;


DotExpression returns Ref:
    VariableRef ({DotExpression.ref=current}  "." tail=[SuperRef])* ':=' INT ';'
;
 
VariableRef returns Ref:
    {EntityRef} entity=[Variable]
; 

SuperRef: Variable|Type;

//Allocation:
//	ref=[SuperRef | QualifiedName] ':=' INT ';'
//;
//SuperRef: variable=Variable|type=Type;
//QualifiedName:
//	ID ('.' ID)*
//;

SimpleType:
	(IntType | BoolType | RealType)
;

IntType:  {IntType}  "INT";
BoolType: {BoolType} "BOOL";
RealType: {RealType} "REAL";


I tried it with [xxx | QualifiedName] and left factoring, but i just cant figure it out.

Thanks for your help!

Yes, I have. The problem I have is that i dont have the same entity in a row, but i have a variable which can have a type which has other variables in it. (type of struct)

so its not "entity.entity.entity"

its "variable.variable"
or "variable.substruct.variable"
or "variable.substruct.subsubstruct.variable"

Hi,

Making your example work required a bit of extra work to make things fit with Xtext workflow.

First, I simplified your grammar in order to keep only the minimal things necessary. I also refactored some elements so that it will simplify further explanations. Here is the grammar. One of the main things was to separate the "component" declarations inside a structure from variable declaration (as an AbstractElement). You can still merge them if necessary, since they parse the same.

grammar org.xtext.example.mydsl.MyDsl with org.eclipse.xtext.common.Terminals

generate myDsl "..."

Model:
	(elements+=AbstractElement)*
;
	
AbstractElement:
	types += TypeBlock | routines += RoutineBlock | variables += VariableBlock
;

TypeBlock: {TypeBlock}
	'TYPE'
		(types+=Structure)*
	'END_TYPE'
;

Structure:
	name=ID ':' 'STRUCT' (components+=StructureComponent)+ 'END_STRUCT'
;

StructureComponent:
	name=ID ':' type=[Structure] |
	name=ID ':' simple=PrimitiveType
;


VariableBlock: {VariableBlock}
	'VAR' (isGlobal?='GLOBAL' |  isPrivate?='PRIVATE')
		(variables+=Variable)*
	'END_VAR'
;
Variable: name=ID ':' type=[Structure] ';';
	
RoutineBlock:
	'ROUTINE' name=ID
		(statements+=Statement)*
	'END_ROUTINE'
;
Statement: DotExpression;


DotExpression returns Expression:
    VariableRef ({DotExpression.receiver=current}  "." tail=[StructureComponent])* ':=' INT ';'
;
 
VariableRef returns Expression:
    {VariableRef} ref=[Variable]
; 

PrimitiveType:
	{IntType}  "INT"  |
	{BoolType} "BOOL" //|
//	{RealType} "REAL"
;


The main point is to have a name for each relevant element (component of a structure, variable, etc.) so that we can rely on Xtext scoping/naming conventions.


Next, in order to enable your dot-based notation, we need to provide the proper scope for an expression like "var.x". The principle is based on retrieving the potential elements that can appear after the "." based on the type of the receiver var: if a "." is possible, then it means that var is a structure with a component named x.

So first, we need to type expressions. To make things simple, I just consider structures as types (you can extend that with SimpleType or more complicated things, once you get it, it's easier). So I created a MyDSLTypeProvider in the proper package (see package declaration in the code) that computes the type of an expression:

  • The type of a VariableRef is the reference's declared type;
  • The type of a DotExpression is the type of the tail, i.e. the type of the structure's component.


package org.xtext.example.mydsl.typing

import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.BoolType
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.DotExpression
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.Expression
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.IntType
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.MyDslFactory
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.PrimitiveType
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.Structure
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.StructureComponent
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.VariableRef

class MyDSLTypeProvider {

	public static val integerType = MyDslFactory::eINSTANCE.createStructure => [name = "Integer"]
	public static val booleanType = MyDslFactory::eINSTANCE.createStructure => [name = "Boolean"]
	public static val nullType = MyDslFactory::eINSTANCE.createStructure => [name = "Null"]

	def Structure typeFor(Expression e) {
		switch (e) {
			VariableRef: e.ref.type
			DotExpression: e.tail.typeOf
		}
	}

	def static typeOf(StructureComponent c){
		if(c.type != null)
			return c.type
		else
			return c.simple.typeOf
	}
	
	def static typeOf(PrimitiveType ptype){
		switch(ptype){
			IntType: integerType
			BoolType: booleanType
		}
	}

	// returns true if fakely created
	// as a static value
	def isPrimitive(Structure c) {
		c.eResource == null
	}

}


Note that we need "fake" structure types because your langage allows so-called PrimitiveType-s: I created one such "fake" structure for each necessary type (feel free to extend it in the future).

Now that we can type expressions, we can compute the scopes: we need to indicate to Xtext how to resolve the reference [StructureComponent] in a DotExpression like var.x. The component x has to be found between the components available for the type of var. In your example, since myWorld is declared as a koords, we indicate that the tail x should be among the structure components of koords. We create an Xtend class MyDslScopeProvider with a dedicated scope function to scope this particular component. We need to respect the Xtext convention for the name of the function: scope_DotExpression_tail.
Here is the corresponding code with all you need to make it work (please respect the correct package, the correct class extends clause, and so on):

package org.xtext.example.mydsl.scoping

import com.google.inject.Inject
import org.eclipse.emf.ecore.EReference
import org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.IScope
import org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.Scopes
import org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.impl.AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.DotExpression
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.myDsl.Structure
import org.xtext.example.mydsl.typing.MyDSLTypeProvider

class MyDslScopeProvider extends AbstractDeclarativeScopeProvider{
	
	@Inject extension MyDSLTypeProvider
	
	def scope_DotExpression_tail(DotExpression e, EReference ref){
		val nullScope = IScope::NULLSCOPE
		val type = e.receiver.typeFor
		if(type == null || type.isPrimitive)
			return nullScope
		if(type instanceof Structure)
			return Scopes::scopeFor((type as Structure).components, nullScope)
	}
}


With that, everything should work correctly: it parses, and it becomes clickable thanks to the proper scopes.

However, you should add some checks to ensure e.g. that components in the same structure (as well as structure/variable declarations) have different names, otherwise the clickable reference would become ambiguous.

Hi,

You have a wrong qualified name for the scope provider: package org.xtext.robotics.airl.typing instead of package org.xtext.robotic.airl.typing (without the "s" at the end).

Concerning the error, I cannot do anything. The least you can do, out of respect, is to give more information about the errors, like pointing the errors' locations, because the UI crashes without properly launching so I cannot test anything.
You should go step by step and add things only when the previous ones work. At least, the editor should launch but fail at parsing some parts...

M.A

Hi,

unfortunately the members of Record Type couldn't be resolved. Maybe you find the error in the project below. I would be very happy.

A .irl project could like this:
PROGRAM testPrg;

VAR
	bool : a;
	int : b := 3;
	real : c := 3.9;
	
TYPE
	RECORD
		bool: ra;
		int: rb;
		real : rc;
	ENDRECORD = rec;

BEGIN

	a := true;
	rec.ra := false;
	
	IF a THEN
		b := 3;
	ENDIF;
	
ENDPROGRAM

your scoping method is wrongly named.

def IScope scope_SelectionExpression_member(SelectionExpression exp, EReference ref) {

and the type provider is not completely implemented

VariableRef: {
if(e.variable instanceof RecordTypeDescription) {
e.variable
}
else if(e.variable instanceof VariableDeclaration) {
(e.variable as VariableDeclaration).type
} else {
null
}

}

Hi,

I have another question Smile :

Let's say I want to declare a Variable as "Position":
VAR
    POSITION: p;


where POSITION should be internally declared as a RECORD:
TYPE
    RECORD 
          REAL: X;
          REAL: Y;
          REAL: Z;
    ENDRECORD = POSITION;


in a way that I can assign values in form of:
BEGIN
     p.X := 3.1
     p.Y := 2.0
     p.Z := 3.4
...


I am not sure how to implement that. Should I do this in the Grammar or in the TypeProvider? How does it work...

Thank you in advance!

usually The validator uses the typesystem to make sure that within an assignment left and righthandside have matching types (if this is your question)

At first I want to declare a variable of type POSITION
 POSITION := p; 
, without an assignment, thats why there is no validation.
When defined, every variable of type POSITION should internally create a RECORD type in such a form:
  
RECORD REAL X,Y,Z; ENDRECORD = p

In a further step the values should be assigned like:
 p.X := 2.9 

But I am not sure if this should be done in the grammar or somewhere else.

Thanks

I dont get that point. Idont unsterstand what you mean by "this"
A language usisally is a combination of concrete and abstract syntax (grammar) visibility (scoping) and semantics ( typesystem and validation) so it depends what you actually want to solve to give further advice

I assume you have access to my grammar. There you can see that a Type can be declared as follows:
Type:
	PredefinedType  //| type=[RecordTypeDescription] | typename=RecordTypeDescription
;

PredefinedType:
	SimpleType | StandardType // | SystemType
;

StandardType:
	 {StringType} name='string' | 
	 {TextType} name='TEXT' | 
	 {PositionType} name='POSITION' | 
	 {OrientationType} name='ORIENTATION' | 
	 {PoseType} name='POSE'
; 

SimpleType:
	  {IntType} name='int' | {BoolType} name='bool' | {CharType} name='char'| {RealType} name='real'

What I want to have is : In case a variable is declared as POSITION, that variable shall have the structure of a RECORD type with 3 members X,Y,Z of type REAL. That's all.

At the end I want to have something like:
PROGRAM test;
VAR 
	POSITION : pos;
BEGIN
	pos.X := 3.9;
	pos.Y := 2.5;
	pos.Z := 1.4;
ENDPROGRAM

And where and how is POSITION defined?

Maybe a type can be a RecordTypeDescriptionReference:ref=[RecordTypeDescription ]
As well

It isn't defined yet. I want to define it but I don't know how. Every Position Type shall have the same structure.

Yes but why do you know it is xyz and not abc or p1p2p3
Or is this kind a srd lib? If so why not shipping std lib models

Since it is supposed to be a robot language, a POSITION type should represent coordinates X,Y,Z.
I am not familiar with std lib models. How does it work?

asume the project the user models in is a java project (may be the case if the target runtime is java)
then create a libary jar that contains the libary models and put these to the classpath of that java project

asume the project the uses model in i a pure project then simpy copy and paste the libary models to that project

or ... or ...

or adapt global scope provider and put the libary onto scope there

or ... or ....

(beginning with the first or this requires deeper xtext knowlege and more than trivial customizatiions)

Since I am rather new to Xtext and EMF it seems quite complicated for me. Is there another (more simple) approach?

i dont have code

simply consider you could write in your code

LIBARY;

TYPE
    RECORD 
          REAL: X;
          REAL: Y;
          REAL: Z;
    ENDRECORD = POSITION;

this is how the user project looks like

myproject
- src
  - mystuff.mydsl
- lib
  - stdlib.jar
    - stdlib.mydsl



or

myproject
- stdlib.mydsl
- mystuff.mydsl

Ahhhh OK thank you. You are right... through global scoping it works out of the box if I allow a Type to be ref=[RecordTypeDescription].
PROGRAM LIBRARY;

TYPE 
	RECORD 
		real : X;
		real : Y;
		real : Z;
	ENDRECORD = position;
ENDPROGRAM

PROGRAM testPrg;

VAR
	position : p;

BEGIN
	p.X := 4.0;
ENDPROGRAM

However the member X couldn't be resolved. There is no content assist. How do I have to change the ScopeProvider that it works?

global scoping works by default but names are built like

parentname.childname.grandchildname

=>

(1) you can allow this in your syntax ref=[RecordTypeDescription|FQN]. with FQN: ID ("." ID)*; then you would write libary.position instead of position
(2) adapt the i qualified name provider to give the RecordTypeDescription its simple name
(3) adapt ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider and add an import for LIBRARY.* (org.eclipse.xtext.scoping.impl.ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider.getImplicitImports(boolean))

(you should try 3 since the programs should be isolated from each other)
