| Re: [m2t-dev] [backend] About Functions |
Laurent, if you have something like a.nameyou want that to refer to a property "name" or a function "getName()" (or "setName", depending on the context), right? In other words, would you be happy if it was possible to create properties by defining getter and/or setter functions?

Hi all,I was looking at the backend and how expressions and operations were handled and was wondering if some functionalities were accessible.I am currently trying to instantiate all of the backend expressions and stumbled upon a use case I can't see a way to solve nicely : let's say the input language is ambiguous on function calls and allows with the same sintax to call either a function, or a declared field of the receiver object (I'm calling "receiver" the object on which the function is called, your "first parameter"), how can I convert this to a backend expression (see xpand example below)?I tried an InvocationOnWhateverExpression, to no avail. And since InvocationOnWhateverExpression is declared final, I cannot subclass it to alter the way it behaves when a function of the given name cannot be retrieved before it simply throws an ExecutionException.An example of what I am trying to convert for the backend could look like (in xpand, "name" refers to the name of the NamedElement, not to a random function) :DEFINE function FOR uml.NamedElement «name» Thanks in advance.

I'm idling on #eclipse and #eclipse-modeling, these discussion might be easier on a chat._______________________________________________ m2t-dev mailing list m2t-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/m2t-dev
