OCL25 — OCL 2.2 Generalisation of Issue 7341 PathNames

Open Closed All
  • Key: OCL25-161
  • Legacy Issue Number: 15234
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Model Driven Solutions ( Dr. Edward Willink)
  • Summary:

    Issue 7341 changed a number of syntaxes to permit a PathNameCS rather than a SimpleNameCS,
    so that scope ambiguities could be resolved.

    It is not clear why this was applied uniformly to all syntaxes where a name reference is in use. As a minimum
    it just gives the user the discretion to clarify a subtle statement, and it avoids the impression that pathed-names
    are special. It also avoids the need for some very similar concrete syntax expositions.

    More specifically in an AssociationClassCallExpCS it would allow disambiguation of Left::Link and Right::Link as
    alternate AssociationClasses.

    Suggest allow PathNameCS in all places where there is not a specific requirement for a SimpleNameCS.
