Possible bug in the AbstractTypeResolver implementation [message #52731] Thu, 13 March 2008 08:11 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi Christian,

I think that I have encountered a little bug.

When a TypeResolver is resolving a collection (and set, bag,etc) type,
it tries to find the collection in the collectionPackage, and it will
create the collection, if it is not found.

When you pass the AnyType T, as the elementType of a collection (and
set, bag, etc), a new type will be created in the collectionPackage,
while the unique instance (OCLStandarddLibrary.getCollection()) should
be returned...

This simple code (applied to each kind of collection) would improve the
implementation, because and unnecessary type is not created (and used by
expressions) when resolving Collection(T).

// Documentation copied from the inherited specification
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public CollectionType<C, O> resolveCollectionType(
CollectionKind kind,
C elementType) {

OCLStandardLibrary<C> stdlib = getEnvironment().getOCLStandardLibrary();
if (elementType.equals(stdlib.getT()))
return (CollectionType<C, O>) stdlib.getCollection();

CollectionType<C, O> result = findCollectionType(kind, elementType);

if (result == null) {
result = createCollectionType(kind, elementType);
}

return result;
}

If you agree, I could raise a bugzilla with a patch solving this little
issue.

Regards,
Adolfo.

Hi, Adolfo,

Absolutely, that looks like a problem worth fixing.

Just be sure to account for the appropriate CollectionKind. Your snippet,
below, appears to return Collection(T) for all collection kinds.

Thanks!

Christian

Your are certainly right. I hadn't realized that this method manages all
the collections. I have taken into account your comment in the attached
patch.

It's a pleasure.

Cheers,
Adolfo.
