KERML11 — Textual notation does not expose inherited members

  • Key: KERML11-201
  • Status: open  
  • Source: RTX ( Mr. Andrew Muxen)
  • Summary:

    I want to propose is that the textual notation support the display of inherited members using the ^ (caret) symbol. This would allow the textual notation to show both owned and inherited features in a type.

    Here is an example of what this might look like:

    type A{
          feature q;
    }
     
    type A1 specializes A{
          ^ feature q;
          feature p;
    }
    

    This shows that A1 inherits q (without redefining it) from A and also owns a feature p.

    I am not sure which section this would best go in. Also it may be better for higher languages (such as SysML) that has the concept of a view to show this? I wanted to capture the idea here.
