Summary | 0007883: Fully initialized templates | ||||||||
Description | The current standard requires templates to be at least partially initialized: 15.0.d The expression or template body initializing a template shall evaluate to a value or a template that is at least partially initialized or to a matching mechanism. This is useful in cases when some templates are used as abstract, containing just some basic values and the missing values are added in templates derived from them. However, TTCN-3 language doesn't contain any mechanism that would allow the user to distinguish between abstract templates containing partially initialized values and fully initialized ones which could be safely used in communication operations. Proposal: Add a specific modifier that would require a static template to be fully initialized, e.g. template @concrete MyType mw_msg .... Since most templates are actually defined as fully initialized, more logical would be to mark the abstract ones: template @abstract MyType mw_msgBase .... However, this approach would create a change that is not backwards compatible. It should be also explained in detail whether restricted templates can or may not be partially initialized. | ||||||||

If I remember correctly the current template restrictions can be used to check if a template can be safely sent on the network (value). This might also be a tooling issue. For example we have a code quality check for partially initialized items. So that users can pay special attention when working with them (+ creation and maintenance). This way does not have any runtime performance overhead, since it is done on the code statically. |

STF discussion: The introduction of "@abstract" as optional modifier is reasonable. The usage of partially initialized templates without "@abstract" should be deprecated in the future (put a warning into the standard). |
