Re: [wtp-dev] JSDT inference: type of "this"


I have added a "public Object userData", so you can do what you want to with it.  
I suspect there are other problems involved if your inference engine is not being called.

I've tried this now. Unsuccessful, so far.

I made certain that visit(IObjectLiteral) in my inferencer is not  
called. While debugging, I even throw Exceptions in the overridden  
method, to be sure that the call doesn't pass there unnoticed. But  
still the original problem exists: The inner object literal has an own  
anonymous type.

I went into debugging to see where it is created:
The anonymous InferredType object that is passed to my  
QooxdooInferEngine is not created by the QooxdooInferEngine. It is  
created by another instance of InferEngine (itself, no subclass). So I  
never get the chance to do something regarding the type creation for  
ObjectLiterals.

However, it seemed awkward to me why I should reimplement the  
ASTVisitor aspect of the InferEngine anyway. Having an anonymous type  
as a placeholder during the type gathering is ok for me, and not  
uncommon from what I know about type inferencing in other languages. I  
just want to be able to tell it that it is the same type as "that one".
I didn't find anything in InferredType that suggests this  
functionality. So I set the superclass of the anonymous type to the  
known class. This works now for the functionality I intended right  
now, but is not formally correct and will come back and bite me as  
soon as I introduce visibility validation.

Do you think it would be reasonable to introduce a field in  
InferredType that allows me to say what it actually is? It would be  
close to the referenceClass, only not for array members but for "this"  
type.
