Hi guys I checked and found that AbstractImporter>>errorLog: is deprecated.... ok fair Now there are at least 4 methods that invoke this method and are not deprecated. So what do we do? How do we log error in moose? We don't? Stef

Question about slot

by stéphane ducasse

When I have a Slot for example in methods of FAMIXType methods: aMethod methods set: aMethod I do not understand that method. methods: would need a collections? So why do I get only aMethod is set: an adder? How should I add to methods? addMethod: aMethod methods add: aMethod but in that case this is not aMethod I get above. Of course beside reading the code of Slot and guessing there is nothing I can do. I'm not programming, I'm crawling. Stef

About FAMIXMethod

by Stéphane Ducasse

I'm wondering why a Method does not have a static/instance attribute. In Famix2.1 we had hasClassScope: aBoolean self privateState attributeSet: #hasClassScope value: aBoolean Now I do not like to see that as Smalltalk specific since the distinction instance class is quite general enough if we map hasClassScope to isStatic?

About meta-meta-model

by stephane ducasse

I'm contemplating morbidly Meta and I was wondering why do we need to have EMOF for what we do at the meta-metamodel. It seems to me that we lost our soul in the process and especially now that nobody maintain the metapart. I have large doubts. I run the test of meta dn 59 are breaking ;( I'm considering porting FAMIX2.1 to Squeak. I will call the class FAMIX2Class. Stef

About Slot (3)

by Stéphane Ducasse

debugging with slot is not really cool since we get FMSlot everywhere instead of the reference to the exact object. Then I was wondering what is the exact gain: we do not duplicate the management of what exactly? Because we are trading coding the management of the relation by space (the slot objects) and speed we send value all the times everywhere now. May be for FAME it is better to generate Slot instead of methods in the class. But so far I do not know exactly what is the gain. because I still have to define add/remove.... in the interface of the class that has a slot. It seems to me that this is meta programming for the poor. Ideally Smalltalk would have a nice meta object protocol and we would define a Slot metaobject and say it in the class and we would get the management at runtime or may be at compile time. Now it looks to me like an overhead without any real gain. Stef

About Slot (2)

by stéphane ducasse

doru I wonder why there is a FAMIXMethod>>initialize initialize super initialize. parentClass := FMOneSlot new owner: self; oppInstVar: #methods; yourself. and why there is the following definition in FamixType initialize super initialize. subInheritances := FMManySlot new owner: self; oppInstVar: #superclass; yourself. methods := FMManySlot new owner: self; oppInstVar: #parentClass; yourself. container := FMOneSlot new owner: self; oppInstVar: #types; yourself. superInheritances := FMManySlot new owner: self; oppInstVar: #subclass; yourself. attributes := FMManySlot new owner: self; oppInstVar: #parentClass; yourself. do we have to do it because we do not specify in the Slot the type of the target oppInstVar class?
