Hi everybody,
I'm currently trying to programatically copy a Moose model
Which model, Java or Smalltalk?
What happens is that only the message isInterface returns nil, when the
original Moose model has this information. All the other "is*" messages
return something or false. I have no problem copying other information from
the model whatsoever.
In a Smalltalk model #isInterface returns false, which is ok.
I don't know how you obtain nil because the default is false (see
FAMIXClass>>isInterface). OK, the instance variable is nil, so maybe you
are in a subclass of FAMIXClass accessing this instance variable. In this
case you should call the *getter method* #isInterface to get false instead
of nil.
Looking at the code, this variable is directly set on
FAMIXClass>>#isInterface: and the other ones use the
FAMIXNamedEntity>>modifierSet:for: message (lazy attribution I guess)
No, this is not lazy attribution; modifiers is only a Set (see the method
FAMIXNamedEntity>>initialize) which is used in order to avoid create
instance variables.
isInterface is an instance variable, so it does not need to use the
modifiers.
So, why this specific information is not set? Can we change this?
I don't think it is needed, or maybe I lost something in the lines :)
Cheers,
