Dear all,
I'm creating a profile where I would need to use extensively unsigned 32
bit integers (uint32).
To use uint32 I would have to use EMF's ELong, since Int primitive type
in UML is a signed int 32, thus the range is not enough for an uint32.
What I would like to achieve is to create a primite type for uint32
where I can specify the range constraint, and therefore avoid adding the
same constraints for every ELong in my profile.
Is it possible?
Greeting,
Victor

Hi, Victor,
Yes, it is possible. Just create an instance of the PrimitiveType
metaclass in your profile. Or, more probably, you should define it in
a library model that can be shared by your profile and the models that
profile is applied to. This is exactly how the UML standard
PrimitiveTypes library is used.
If you want to, you can use the <<EDataType>> stereotype from the Ecore
profile to tag your uint32 primitive type with the 'instanceClassName'
(int, long, or whatever) that should represent it in Java code, but
perhaps your domain isn't Java anyways so it doesn't matter.
I haven't looked into it, but I would expect the C++ code generator in
the Qompass component of Papyrus would probably have a library of types
that includes unsigned integral types; you might look at that for ideas.
HTH,
Christian

Thanks, that was exactly was I was trying to achieve.

Hi,
What's the property to constraint the range in a numerical type?
Imagine I have an <<EDataType>>, with its instanceClassName set to
"int". Now I want the value that this new type accepts be greater than 0
and lower than 2000 (for instance).
Regards,
Víctor

Hi
You've hit my favorite missing UML feature.
It was introduced in Executable UML but never got promoted back into
core UML.
I suspect that MARTE or SysML have it, so that you can at least use a
standard although inconvenient stereotype.
Regards

Hi,
Fully aggree. Having this feature in UML is a must.
a Primitive Type is more than just a name.
Would it be possible to create a single constraint in a profile so that
every tagged value of that type is affected?
Regards,
Víctor

Dear All,
I did like this, created a primitive UML datatype, applied the <<EDataType>> stereotype and set 'instanceClassName' to int.
However, when I write OCL constraints I have to write self.myCustomTypeAttribute.oclTypeAs(Integer) for the OCL to work.
Is that the expected behaviour?
The editor for myCustomTypeAttribute works perfectly and I can set its value in the tagged values section in the class I apply the profile.
Regards,
Víctor
P.S. Using Luna and Papyrus 1.0.

You must do this if you want to use OCL so that it can determine the
behavioral type of your non-standard type.
