ABL and XREF

[DevTeam]

Hi,

I am wondering if there is a magical option for the XREF compilation which could give me more information about data-members of other classes.

As an explanation, here are 2 sample codes :

maClasse.cls

CLASS maClasse :
  DEF PUBLIC VAR cls1 AS CLASS maClasse2 NO-UNDO.
  DEF PUBLIC VAR var1 AS INT NO-UNDO.

  METHOD PUBLIC LOGICAL m1(INPUT p1 AS INT) :
    cls1 = NEW maClasse2().
    var1 = cls1:Prop1.
    RETURN (var1 = 0).
  END METHOD.
END CLASS.

/* Corresponding XREF output */

/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 1 COMPILE maClasse.cls
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 1 CPINTERNAL iso8859-1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 1 CPSTREAM iso8859-1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 1 CLASS maClasse,,,,
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 1 STRING "maClasse" 8 NONE UNTRANSLATABLE 
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 2 STRING "cls1" 4 NONE UNTRANSLATABLE 
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 2 DATA-MEMBER PUBLIC,,cls1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 3 STRING "var1" 4 NONE UNTRANSLATABLE 
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 3 DATA-MEMBER PUBLIC,,var1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 5 STRING "p1" 2 NONE UNTRANSLATABLE 
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 6 ACCESS PUBLIC-DATA-MEMBER maClasse:cls1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 7 ACCESS PUBLIC-DATA-MEMBER maClasse:var1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 7 ACCESS PUBLIC-DATA-MEMBER maClasse:cls1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 7 ACCESS PUBLIC-DATA-MEMBER maClasse2:Prop1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 7 UPDATE PUBLIC-DATA-MEMBER maClasse:var1 
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 8 ACCESS PUBLIC-DATA-MEMBER maClasse:var1
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 9 METHOD PUBLIC,,,m1,logical,INPUT p1 INTEGER
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 9 STRING "M1" 2 NONE UNTRANSLATABLE 
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 10 CONSTRUCTOR PUBLIC,,,maClasse,void,
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 10 STRING "MACLASSE" 8 NONE UNTRANSLATABLE 
/Test/maClasse.cls /Test/maClasse.cls 6 NEW maClasse2

I would need to know the data-type of the "distant" data-member maClasse2rop1... but without having to access the maClasse2.cls file or its corresponding XREF output file.

Any idea welcome !

Nobody inspired ?

I guess nobody knows of such a magic option . At least I don't.....

Yeah, it seems to... But I guess there must be a way to do so, as the compiler needs to check whether the assignment of a distant property into a local variable is correct !

Yep, I agree. But it wouldn't be the first time that development outruns the tools...
On the other hand if the varibale wasn't int then it would not compile and you would have no XREF output...
