[Moose-dev] type aliases

Hi,

In C/C++ you can define something like this: typedef Type TypeAlias;

To be able to model this in FAMIX, I introduced FAMIXTypeAlias in Famix-C. However, now I think we have to move it to the Core because of the following reason.

Suppose we have something like this: typedef Type TypeAlias; SubType: TypeAlias

When enumerating the subclasses of Type, I need to get: - TypeAlias - SubType

To do this, when traversing with subclassesDo: I need to take into account the typeAliases associated with each type. This means that the notion of TypeAliases must be in the Core.

I hope I explained the matter. Please let me know if you see other alternatives.

Cheers, Doru
