Re: [edt-dev] IR content: Dataitem reference not stored

[Tim W Wilson <tww@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Bart
Indeed this is the case.  The parser
does not keep this information today in all places so it is not transferring
properly.  It is intended that the new model should keep this information.

Cheers

Tim

Subject	[edt-dev] IR content: Dataitem reference not stored

Hi, 
 
While parsing an ir file, I noticed that
the dataitem type is not stored.
Therefore it’s not possible to get that
info. 
 
Let me clarify with a small example.
Take this EGL Source:
package
sample;
 
 
dataItem
sampleItem string
end
 
 
record
someRecd type
BasicRecord
      
      itemName sampleItem;
      
end
 
 
From this EGLSource file 2 IR’s are generated:

 
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<DataItem ID="1"

       
        eClass="org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.DataItem"

       
        name="sampleItem" 
       
        hasCompileErrors="false" 
       
        packageName="sample" 
       
        baseType="egl:egl.lang.anystring"
/>
 
 
 
<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<Record ID="1"
eClass="org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.Record" name="someRecd"
hasCompileErrors="false" packageName="sample" isAbstract="false"
>
       
        <annotations ID="2" eClass="egl:egl.core.basicrecord"
/>
       
        <annotations ID="3" eClass="dynMof:org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.Annotation:EGL_Location"
len="i:62" off="i:51" line="i:8" />

                <superTypes href="">
                <fields
                               ID="4" eClass="org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.Field" name="itemName" type="egl:egl.lang.anystring"
                               isNullable="false" isStatic="false" isAbstract="false" hasSetValuesBlock="false"
                               isImplicit="false" isSystemField="false" >
                               
                               <annotations ID="5" eClass="dynMof:org.eclipse.edt.mof.egl.Annotation:EGL_Location" len="i:20" off="i:87" line="i:10" />
                               <container IDREF="1"/>
                </fields>
</Record>
 
 
As you can see in the IR version of someRecd, no  reference to dataitem “sampleItem” is stored for the field named “itemName”.
 
 
 
I believe it would be a good enhancement to keep track of this reference.
I’d highly appreciate any comment.
 
 
Regards,
Bart.
