[Moose-dev] Re: MooseChef scoping should not exclude self loops

I want to reimplement software engineering metrics using moose chef instead of moose cook. for example to compute cohesion I would do (among other things): self queryAllOutgoingDependencies atClassScope withinMyPackage i.e. : 1- from a package (self) 2- get all its "outgoingdependencies" (outgoing does not mean going outside the package, this includes dependencies within th package) 3- put that at class level (because we are interested in dependencies between classes within or outside the package) 4- and filter those that are inside self I want the result to be all dependencies from classes within package self going to classes within package self. but (from the moose chef documentation): "The scope operators exclude self loops by default (this was also the default in Moose Cook). That is, the query result will not contain the receiver scope itself: you will not get something like PackageX -> PackageX in the result (the reason for this is that in general algorithms do not like graphs with self loops)." So: - should we change that default? - should I change my query? I believe if there is a method to exclude self loops (withoutSelfLoop), it should not be done automatically in some case let those who want it do it themselves. What say you? nicolas _______________________________________________ Moose-dev mailing list Moose-dev(a)iam.unibe.ch https://www.iam.unibe.ch/mailman/listinfo/moose-dev
