JvmModelInferrer and debug: skip steps? [message #1384699] Fri, 30 May 2014 14:21 Go to next message

Hi,

In my language, I am exploiting the association (with JvmModelAssociator) between the generated elements and the elements of my grammar so that in debug the debugger goes through the various elements of my grammar.

Unfortunately, it is possible that to one element of my grammar, I associate multiple java methods called in sequence or calling each others.

I would like to know if it is possible to make the debugger step only once for all these methods and not once for each.

Thanks!

If I remember correctly, you should create a child appendable using the
method trace(true); true should mean "skip the additional steps" in the
child appendable that you'll use to generate Java code...

hope this helps

Well actually it is not as easy as it seems Smile

I did a bit of voodoo programming (trying many different call to trace, true/false parameters, in various place of my code) but I didn't even get a change to the behaviour of the debugger...

The thing is, I generate my methods using the "body = [...]" or "body = '''...'''" call which seems to store the ITreeAppendable and the generator call trace on it, so it is not clear where I can do something to change that... do I need to bypass the generator for this particular thing?

Also, I'm not so clear about the meaning of the boolean parameter of trace, according to the name, it seems that true means to use for debugging, but since quasi-all the calls to trace in xtext code is with false, that it is initialised as false when nothing is specified, I guess it has the behaviour you explained Lorenzo...

If someone can clarify some of these things for me, it would be very helpful Smile

If you use

body = [...]

then the lambda has a parameter ITreeAppendable (implicit as 'it' if you
don't specify it); what I was suggesting (but I have no way of checking
that) is doing

instead of

body = [
it.append(''' .... ''')
]

do something like

body = [
it.trace(true).append(''' .... ''')
]

hope this helps
