While trying to map Delphi to FAMIX, we ran into some
issues:
- Delphi has definitions of a.o. methods split over the interface and
the implementation part of a unit. Where do I put the second
sourcetextanchor?
This might be similar to the situation with c header files.
The source anchor should point to the implementation, not the definition.
Perhaps for the definition, you can add a FAMIXDelphiMethodDefinition and
link it with a FAMIXMethod. This one then can have its own source anchor.
- Being a hybrid of structured and oo, functions seem
to be best modeled as
scopingentities too. What does it mean that scopingentities represent an
entity
defining a scope at a global level? Units in Delphi can be local to
another unit.
I do not understand this part. Could you provide more details and maybe an
example?
- The class comment of behaviouralentity is a bit
sloppy in describing
which
metrics we should provide: is cylomatic complexity, numberOfStatements &
numberOfConditionals enough?
You should provide those metrics that are not marked as derived. To find
this out you can evaluate:
FAMIXBehaviouralEntity asMooseDescription allAttributes select: [ :each |
each isDerived not and: [ each type = FM3 number ] ]
==>
an Array(
a FM3PropertyDescription[FAMIX.BehaviouralEntity.numberOfParameters]
a FM3PropertyDescription[FAMIX.BehaviouralEntity.numberOfStatements]
a FM3PropertyDescription[FAMIX.BehaviouralEntity.cyclomaticComplexity]
a FM3PropertyDescription[FAMIX.BehaviouralEntity.numberOfConditionals]
a FM3PropertyDescription[FAMIX.BehaviouralEntity.numberOfLinesOfCode]
a FM3PropertyDescription[FAMIX.BehaviouralEntity.numberOfComments])
I am not sure I like the deep inheritance hierarchy of
FAMIX. It seems
rather brittle. Is Delphi a special case?
FAMIX was first built in VW, and we only relied on single inheritance.
Since a long while we have the plan of moving towards Traits. More recently
Nicolas expressed an interest in working on such a topic, and Alain Plantec
extended Fame with the concept of Traits. However, until now, nothing
really moved but it would definitely be great to have more energy spent
there.
Cheers,
Doru
