| − | This article discusses issues recently discovered for the following two validity rules:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | 8.15.7 Validity: ''Conversion Procedure rule'', Validity code: '''VYCP'''<br>
| + | |
| − | 8.15.8 Validity: ''Conversion Query rule'', Validity code: '''VYCQ'''
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ==Examples==
| + | |
| − | For the following examples eweasel tests have been created. Their named
| + | |
| − | ====Example 1====
| + | |
| − | eweasel test: convert-to-current-type
| + | |
| − | <code>[eiffel,N]
| + | |
| − | class A[G]
| + | |
| − | convert
| + | |
| − | to_a: {A[G]}
| + | |
| − | feature
| + | |
| − | to_a: A[G]
| + | |
| − | end
| + | |
| − | </code>
| + | |
| − | The conversion to '''A[G]''' should indeed not be valid because they are conform.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The only rule that matters in our case is '''VYCQ(3)'''.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | What VYCQ(3) asks is the following
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Is A[ANY] conform to A[G]?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | As we answer this question clearly with '''no''', the conversion is valid because all the other rules do not object either.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ====Example 2====
| + | |
| − | eweasel test: convert-to-current-type
| + | |
| − | <code>[eiffel,N]
| + | |
| − | class A[G]
| + | |
| − | convert
| + | |
| − | to_a: {A[STRING]}
| + | |
| − | feature
| + | |
| − | to_a: A[STRING]
| + | |
| − | end
| + | |
| − | </code>
| + | |
| − | In the case where G's actual type parameter is a subtype of STRING the two types are conform again.
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | The interesting rule is again '''VYCQ(3)''':
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | Is A[ANY] conform to A[STRING]?
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | This question is answered with '''no''' too. Therefore the conversion is valid.
