[Moose-dev] Looking up code references in FAMIX

While building up the FAMIX model from the Delphi AST, we need to connect the references to the correct entities. We first did this with referenced types, but are now trying to build up the call graph. We know in Delphi that everything we want to reference has been defined earlier, so we need to look up references in the FAMIX model we build up so far. Currently we do that by searching through all entities, building up moosenames. This is very slow, and error-prone, since we should actually use the hierarchical scope of the current code point. We would like to be able to ask the scopingEntity to resolve the names we encounter into a famixNamedEntity. We think this functionality is more general, and would like to implement it. We believe we can make an algorithm that has the right behaviour for smalltalk, c, java and Delphi (and likely others). To do this we'd need to add referenced scopes to scopingentity. Do you agree this is a good idea, or do you have other suggestions to make these connections? Diego & Stephan
