Hello hani,
I was discussing with roel and we came up with the conclusion that we
are losing information
with your approach. You are changing the meaning of what a stub is.
Been a stub means that you are a reference outside of the model.
Note that been stub was introduced to support fragile importer (some
tools like Sniff+ lost information and you get a class without an
attribute and accesses to it but no attribute, so the attribute is a
stub).
- If there is an inheritance definition to a class that is not in the
model, the inheritance definition
is not a stub since it is in the model and may be one class is not.
if a such inheritance definition (invocation, access, etc.) is
considered inside the imported model i think thus that mathematically
is very stupide to consider the inherited class (the invoked methode,
the accessed class/attribute, etc) outside the model.
Just think and see the software/model as a graph and you will
understand what i want to say.
However, this is what i think.
- You can get a method that is not imported but referenced and it is a
stub because of the same problem.
A method is not a stub because it is in a stub class. A method is a
stub because at the end of the import
phase it was not imported but referenced.
I do not see how you can import a method without importing its class.
So if a method is inside the imported model but its class is defined
outside the model (this happens only in smalltalk models) the both
should not be stub.
Now, when a class is defined inside the imported model but some of its
methods are packaged outside the model, such methods should be marked
as stubs.
I suggest that you define another property for encoding what you want:
called it impactedByStub
or inContactOfStub.
I do not see the same thing, but what i see clearly that moose is
already very complicated with a lot of properties and what is inutile,
so i think that reducing such things is better to do.
whatever we can talk about that after my vacation.
