ALF11 — Some Derived Associations Should Be Composite

Open Closed All
  • Key: ALF11-3
  • Legacy Issue Number: 16428
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Model Driven Solutions ( Mr. Ed Seidewitz)
  • Summary:

    Clauses: All of Part III on Abstract Syntax

    Derived associations whose derivations create new syntax elements, rather than referring to existing elements in the abstract syntax tree (e.g., ExtentOrExpression::expression) should be composition associations. This makes the ownership of these derived elements clear for the purpose of walking the abstract syntax tree to check static semantic constraints.

  • Disposition Summary:

    Make certain derived properties composite

    Generally agreed, though the specific example given (ExtentOrExpression::expression) is already composite in the Alf 1.0.1 abstract syntax.
