Description Kathy Carroll

EGL source in Project ONE:

package api.eglx_lang;
library EBoolean002 {}
	function runMethodOne()
		syslib.writeStdout("zebraone runMethodOne");
	end	
	function runMethodTwo()
		syslib.writeStdout("zebraone runMethodTwo");
	end	
end

EGL Source in Project TWO:

package eunit.gen;
import api.eglx_lang.EBoolean002;
library EBoolean002 {}
	function initializeLibTest() 
		testMethods String[] = ["runMethodOne", "runMethodTwo"];
		runTestMtds runTestMethod[];
		runTestMtds[1] = EBoolean002.runMethodOne;
		runTestMtds[2] = EBoolean002.runMethodTwo;
	end
end
delegate runTestMethod()	
end


Java compiler message:

The import api.eglx_lang.EBoolean002 conflicts with a type defined in the same file

Second project has first project in both the EGL and the Java Path

Comment 1 Matt Heitz

I see two problems with eunit.gen.EBoolean002.

1. runTestMtds runTestMethod[]; should be runTestMtds runTestMethod[2];  Without the initial size, the array is null, so the next statement would fail.

2. The line runTestMtds[1] = EBoolean002.runMethodOne; (and the one after it) are invalid.  You're referring to the other EBoolean002 but the compiler won't look there for runMethodOne.  You need to use the fully-qualified name: api.eglx_lang.EBoolean002.runMethodOne

I don't know why you didn't get a validation error for #2.  I'm talking it over with Paul Harmon.

Oh, and the import of api.eglx_lang.EBoolean002 isn't going to do anything.  When you don't use the fully-qualified name, we resolve the meaning of "EBoolean002" by matching the name of the part being defined, before looking at any imports.

Jing, could you make the necessary changes to the generated framework code?

Comment 4 Jing Qian

I have made the changes to 
- remove the imports
- generate the fully qualified library name for the delegate functions

to avoid the naming conflicts

fixed

Comment 6 Matt Heitz

Fixed the generator by changing CommonUtilities.processImport().  We'll always use the fully-qaulified name of a type when its unqualified name matches the
unqualified name of the type currently being generated.

Paul also changed Egl2MofExpression for this.
