| Summary | 0007619: No named interleave construct available. |
| Description | The interleave statement is explained as shorthand notation for more complicated alt-statements processing the interleave branches in an interleaving-parallel fashion.
For normal alt statements, the possibility to de-inline them by defining them as a teststep and then referencing them from multiple places exists, while for interleave, this is not possible. That means that if the same interleave statement is needed in multiple places, it needs to be copied which is bad for code maintenance and readability.
As a workaround, at the moment, the interleave statement can be put into a function, but then this cannot be used in the place of altsteps in the event-part of an alt-statement, but only as a new top-level interleave.
For better compositionality and consistency, we thus propose to allow to define interleave altsteps and to allow to use such altsteps wherever a normal altstep reference is allowed, i.e.
altstep I() interleave {
< local variable declarations that live during the duration of this block >
[] ...
[] ...
}
alt {
[] I() { ... }
[] ...
}
The syntactic changes to the language would be minimal and fully backward compatible. |

Notes |
|
|
|
|
STF discussion: Requires proposal and possibly further discussion. |
|

I have looked over the proposal.
There are some small English grammar issues (missing articles and suchlike).
There is no restriction section. (The same restrictions as for normal interleave shall apply) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Reviewed, no issues found. The proposal is ready to be added to the next version of the core language standard. |
