Hi
There is a hierarchy of mappings in my project. Each mapping receives a dictionary which holds some context. Each mapping may add something to the context (dictionary) and pass extended context to nested mappings. The problem is that nested mappings modifies context of the nesting mappings. For example map1 modifies variables dictionary in main:
modeltype ECORE uses 'http://www.eclipse.org/emf/2002/Ecore';
transformation TestDict();
main() {
var variables : Dict(String, EClass);
variables->put('a', object EClass { name := 'classA' });
variables->print();
object EClass { name := 'test' }->map1(variables);
variables->print();
}
mapping EClass::map1(variables : Dict(String, EClass)) : EClass
{
var variables2 := variables;
variables2->put('b', object EClass { name := 'classB' });
}
mapping EClass::map2(variables : Dict(String, EClass)) : EClass
{
var variables2 : Dict(String, EClass);
variables->keys()->forEach (k) {
variables2->put(k, variables->get(k));
};
variables2->put('b', object EClass { name := 'classB' });
}
query Dict(String, EClass)::print()
{
log('Variables >>>');
self->keys()->forEach (k) {
log(k + ' => ' + self->get(k).name);
};
log('<<<\n');
}
So I have to create a new dictionary each time (see map2). Is there a better approach to clone dictionaries?

HI
OCL is side effect free so it has no mutable Dicts. Presumably you meant
to post on the QVTo newsgroup.
Dicts are a convenient tool. I prefer them since I can understand and
debug them.
resolve() is a better approach. QVT 1.3 provides a much clearer
specification of how resolve() works. Eclipse QVTo is not fully
compliant with the clarifications, but it is close. The description may
enable you to predict what should happen.
