Qualified name relative to a namespace import? [message #1424189] Mon, 15 September 2014 16:06 Go to next message

I'm in the process of migrating a pile of DSLs from importURI to importedNamespace.

At the point where I believe my qualified name providers and scope providers are in a fairly good shape, I'm trying to achieve that an element with name x.y.z can be referenced by
- importing x.y and
- using y.z as the reference (just as you would do for static members in Java).
Since y is in scope, I want to interpret y.z as a qualified name relative to that y.

Is this supposed to work out of the box (i.e., I broke it by some customization)?

Is possible by some additional tweak?

Does this need to be implemented manually?

I've seen solutions with an explicit sub-grammar for dot expressions, but this isn't so attractive, for two reasons: (a) it seems to require to define this for every reference in the grammar that should make use of this concept, and (b) it seems to require knowledge about the intermediate types, but if z can be reached via x.y.z and x.a.z those 'y' and 'a' could possibly be of unrelated types.

cheers,
Stephan

PS: this is at Xtext 2.4.3. Migration to 2.7.1 has been deferred until after the import change is complete ... not sure if this matters for the issue at hand.

Hi Stephan,

no, this doesn't work out of the box. You'd have to adjust
ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider.doCreateImportNormalizer(QualifiedName,
boolean, boolean) to use that feature together with the
importedNamespace convenience.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks for the quick response!
Good to know I didn't break it Smile
I'll try to figure out if this can be done in that hook you point out --
hopefully in a re-usable way ...

cheers,
Stephan

FWIW: this is what I came up with:
public class MyImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider extends ImportedNamespaceAwareLocalScopeProvider {
	
	@Override
	protected ImportNormalizer doCreateImportNormalizer(QualifiedName importedNamespace, boolean wildcard, boolean ignoreCase) {
		return new JoiningImportNormalizer(importedNamespace, wildcard, ignoreCase);
	}

	static class JoiningImportNormalizer extends ImportNormalizer {

		public JoiningImportNormalizer(QualifiedName importedNamespace, boolean wildCard, boolean ignoreCase) {
			super(importedNamespace, wildCard, ignoreCase);
		}
		@Override
		public QualifiedName resolve(QualifiedName relativeName) {
			if (relativeName.getSegmentCount() > 1 && !hasWildCard()) {
				String pivot = relativeName.getFirstSegment();
				if (isIgnoreCase())
					pivot = pivot.toLowerCase();
				QualifiedName importPrefix = getImportedNamespacePrefix();
				if (pivot.equals(importPrefix.getLastSegment()))
					return importPrefix.append(relativeName.skipFirst(1));
			}
			return super.resolve(relativeName);
		}
		@Override
		public QualifiedName deresolve(QualifiedName fullyQualifiedName) {
			if (!hasWildCard()) {
				QualifiedName importPrefix = getImportedNamespacePrefix();
				if (fullyQualifiedName.startsWith(importPrefix))
					return fullyQualifiedName.skipFirst(importPrefix.getSegmentCount()-1);
			}
			return super.deresolve(fullyQualifiedName);
		}
	}
}


No rocket science in fact, but looks indeed re-usable. Would Xtext like to adopt s.t. like this?
I wonder what use cases this might break, but since normal ImportNormalizers only do their work for segment count == 1 we seem to handle disjoint use cases.
Or did you have specific reasons, *not* to implement such behavior?

best,
Stephan

Hi Stephan,

from the top of my head I don't remember if explicitly opted out from
that behavior. So a ticket + a patch would be nice.

Best regards,
Sebastian
