Open Closed All
  • Key: QVT13-50
  • Legacy Issue Number: 19725
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Model Driven Solutions ( Dr. Edward Willink)
  • Summary:

    Initializing variables at the point of declaration is generally recognized as good practice. QVTc does not support it.

    Suggest extend the (Realized) Variable syntax to support an initializer.

  • Disposition Summary:

    Allow QVTc to use initialized variables

    Initializing variables at the point of declaration is generally recognized as good practice. QVTc does not support it.

    Suggest extend the (Realized) Variable syntax to support an initializer.

    Discussion

    Initializing RealizedVariables makes no sense, since a RealizedVariable is initialized by the new Type().

    Initializing (Unrealized)Variables is however useful and supported by the Abstract Syntax already; just need some Concrete Syntax re-using the := of an Assignment.
