OCL21 — Use of simple quotes and double quotes in strings

Open Closed All
  • Key: OCL21-346
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12952
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: France Telecom R&D ( Mariano Belaunde)
  • Summary:

    Summary: Use of simple quotes in place of double quotes should be allowed,
    Specially in situations where the string contains double quotes (to avoid explicit
    use of escaping characters).

  • Disposition: Resolved — OCL 2.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    The freedom to use single or double quotes risks causing confusion for novices as well as being helpful. OCL is the basis for extended languages which may have their own usage for double quotes, so extending OCL into this syntax area seems unwise.
    Disposition: Closed, no change
