Hi!
There are a few downsides of using this approach: - The order of the exported classes and the fields and methods within a class is random, so you have to sort everything by hand.Reminnds me on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519162
I solved these order problems by replacing the attributes dictionary by a map.
That todo list is just too long to convince me to commit your patch right away. At least some things should be very low hanging fruits.
The Pascal exporter is already way more elaborate than all other
exporters. So there is no reason to refuse the Pascal exporter, just
because the other exporters have no written TODO list.
Nevertheless, I was not satisfied with the scrambling of the order of
classes, attributes and operations, so I solved this problem (see
above). Classes are now exported in alphabetical order, attributes and
operations in the original order. Additionally I've added support for
comments of attributes and classes.
All the remaining TODOs strongly depend on a fundamental refactoring of
the internal representation of the data. Currently a class ("Klass") and
lots of lists of lists of lists are used, so you always have to remember
list indexes to access e.g. an attribute's name, comment, ... This is
bad programming style and tedious to work with. Since my Python
knowledge is still virtually zero, I'm not going to play with this any
further.
Please find attached a patch for my current version of the Pascal code
generator.
Bye
Hansi
