QVT14 — QVTo: Rework ImperativeOCL to compose rather than delegate EssentialOCL

  • Key: QVT14-22
  • Status: open  
  • Source: Model Driven Solutions ( Dr. Edward Willink)
  • Summary:

    Issue 13082 - http://solitaire.omg.org/browse/QVT13-8 identifies the unsound relationship between ImperativeOCL and EssentialOCL.

    It offered a simple textual fix which was exploited to resolve the original issue.

    It also suggests a harder rework to establish modeling integrity. This issue forks off the rework not resolved by the original issue.

    (B) - (Major rework.) Rework the abstract syntax to reuse OCL
    expressions by composition rather than by inheritance.
    Imperative expressions ( => rename to 'statements' ) then may
    contain sub-statements and OCL expressions; OCL expressions
    are reused unchanged from the OCL spec (no imperative
    sub-expressions, no side-effects).
    These issues have been discussed on the MoDELS 2008 OCL Workshop,
    more details can be found at

    (Since this is a breaking structural change, it is unlikely to happen before QVT 2.0)
