Great news!
Unfortunately, I do not have access to a Windows machine. Would it be possible to make available an MSE file + sources of some larger C# open source project?
A small problem is that Mono treats attributes (annotations) in some specific way that I need to check. Currently, I cannot parse a project where attributes are used. So, I have created two MSEs from projects that do not use them. One is an application that can be used to calculate C# metrics, DrivenMetrics https://github.com/garrensmith/DrivenMetrics, the second is VerveineSharp itself. The purpose is to check the conformance of the MSE file vis-a-vis Moose. In the meantime, I am trying to parse Gendarmehttp://www.mono-project.com/Gendarme, a rule checking engine for C#. I'll send its Mse as soon as all the bugs related to attributes are gone.
It exports the following code information to MSE:
- Namespaces
- Classes/Interfaces/Inner Classes
- Class Members
- Invocations/Access/Inheritance/Implements
- Delegates as Inner classes + method attached to delegates...
Interesting solution. You should also know that it is possible to create a dedicated CSharp extension of FAMIX. Just raise the point and we see what can be done.
Delegates are just callback method pointers so I think the current FAMIX model suffices to represent delegates. I'll see if C# needs some specifics in FAMIX.
Also, there is a UI with VerveineSharp that helps visualizing all these
elements in a tree-like structure.
The zip file also contains some tests that can be executed through the
bat file.
VerveineSharp is developed and tested on .Net FW 2.0.
There are some known issues:
- Any assemblies referenced in a program but not present in the program
folder make VerveineSharp to terminate prematurely. This requires some reflection to resolve.
- SourceLanguage is still not set as I am having some trouble in Java
libs.
What do you mean?
FAMIXRepo says {"String index out of range: -1"} when trying to read CSharpLanguage object. I need to look into more detail to ascertain why the exception is thrown and what information is missing in my class.
Probably, we can use bug db of Moose for VerveineSharp?
Definitely. I added a tag for this, and I added your Gmail address to the project members.
Ok. I'll add a few issues.
Cheers, Doru
