Hi,
I have a problem with lazy rules.... i didn't understand how to call them! Basing on the book they are called only in an indirect way with the matches built-in operation. Is there a way to call them by passing the involved elements or something like that?

Hi,

To invoke a lazy rule in ECL for a model element you need to call its matches() operation (e.g. x.matches()).

Cheers,

Hi,
Thank you for the answer. I've tried with matches operation but it seems to not work properly. Probably i made some mistakes by declaring the lazy rule. I'm comparing a model conforms to java metamodel (provided by modisco framework) and a model conform to a ecore metametamodel.
Here a piece of my code:

rule MatchEClassWithClassDeclaration
	match c : CustomModel!EClass
	with a : ApiModel!ClassDeclaration {
	
	compare {
		if (a.name.isSubstringOf(c.name) or c.name.isSubstringOf(a.name)){
			return true;
		} else {
			if(a.name.simComparison(c.name) or a.name.ws4jComparison(c.name))
				return true;
			else
				return false;
		}
	}
	
	do {
		var md : OrderedSet = a.bodyDeclarations.select(a : MethodDeclaration | true);
		var ea : OrderedSet = c.eAttributes;
		md.matches();
		ea.matches();
		
		for(m : MethodDeclaration in md ){
			m.matches();
		}
		
		for(e : MethodDeclaration in ea ){
				e.matches();
		}
		matchInfo.put("type","EClass-ClassDeclaration");
	}
}


@lazy
rule MatchEAttributeWithMethodDeclaration
	match c: CustomModel!EAttribute
	with a : ApiModel!MethodDeclaration{
	
	compare {
		return true;		
	}
	
	do {
		'test'.println();
		matchInfo.put("type","EAttribute-MethodDeclaration");
	}
	

}


As you can see i called the lazy rule multiple times without success. Model elements held by the two ordered set are MethodDeclarations and EAttributes elements respectively.

Hi,

matches() needs a parameter - e.g. x.matches(y). In your case, x should be an instance of EAttribute and y and instance of MethodDeclaration.

Unfortunately i tried a similar solution before posting my previous answer without success, but i had forgotten to insert it inside my code.
The extra code placed inside the do block is:

for(m : MethodDeclaration in md ){
			for(e : MethodDeclaration in ea ){
				m.matches(e);
			}
		}


I think there is a mistake related with the instance references... i can't figure out what it's..

Hi,

ea appears to be a collection of EAttributes so the following loop

for(e : MethodDeclaration in ea ){ ... }

should look like

for(e : EAttribute in ea ){ ... }

instead.

Dimitris

Thank you!
It was a terrible mistake by me! Now the lazy rule mechanism seems to works. Only another two questions: Are matchings provided by lazy rules inserted inside the matchtrace? When for example is invoked m.matches(e) m matches the element in the "match" and e the element in the "with", right?

No worries. Yes, this sounds correct.

ok everything seems to work fine accept matchtrace... matchings provided by lazy rules seem to not be included inside my matchtrace. Here it is my full code:

pre {
	var sim = new Native("org.ossmeter.repository.plugin.simmetrics.Simmetrics");
	var ws4j = new Native("org.ossmeter.repository.plugin.ws4j.Ws4j");
	 
}

operation String simComparison(other: String ) : Boolean {
	return sim.getSimilarity(self,other) > 0.8;
}

operation String ws4jComparison(other: String) : Boolean {
	return ws4j.getSimilarity(self,other) > 0.8; 
}


rule MatchEClassWithClassDeclaration
	match c : CustomModel!EClass
	with a : ApiModel!ClassDeclaration {
	
	compare {
		if (a.name.isSubstringOf(c.name) or c.name.isSubstringOf(a.name)){
			return true;
		} else {
			if(a.name.simComparison(c.name) or a.name.ws4jComparison(c.name))
				return true;
			else
				return false;
		}
	}
	
	do {
		var md : OrderedSet = a.bodyDeclarations.select(a : MethodDeclaration | true);
		var ea : OrderedSet = c.eAttributes;
		
		for(m : ApiModel!MethodDeclaration in md ){
			for(e : CustomModel!EAttribute in ea ){
				m.matches(e);
			}
		}
		matchInfo.put("type","EClass-ClassDeclaration");
	}
}


@lazy
rule MatchEAttributeWithMethodDeclaration
	match a : ApiModel!MethodDeclaration
	with c : CustomModel!EAttribute {
	
	compare {
		return true;	
	}
	
	do {
		c.eContainer.name.print();
		':'.print();
		c.name.print();
		'---'.print();
		a.eContainer.name.print();
		':'.print();
		a.name.println();
		matchInfo.put("type","EAttribute-MethodDeclaration");
	}
	

}


post{
	var count : Integer = 0;
	var size : Integer = matchTrace.matches.size();
	while(count < size){
		var current = matchTrace.matches[count];
		if(current.matching){
			current.info.get('type').print();
			' : '.print();
			current.left.name.print();
			' <--> '.print();
			current.right.name.println();
		}	
		count = count + 1;
	}
}

Hi,

You're right - this is a bug [1]. It's been now fixed in the SVN and in the latest interim release [2].

Cheers,
Dimitris
