Hi everybody,
I'm currently trying to programatically copy a Moose model
Which model, Java or Smalltalk?
It's a Smalltalk model
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.
Yes. The thing is that I'm copying the state of the entity, so I don't
have
to write a lot of set's and get's. Probably this method is never called
because, in the properties, isInterface is still nil. But why this case
only?
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 :)
For now, I'm saving a temporary variable the result of the getter call for
each FAMIXClass, and then setting this information after the state and
attributes are set.
Cheers,
