<br />
In C#, this looks like this:<br />
<br />
[&lt;visibility&gt;] &lt;type&gt; &lt;identifier&gt; {<br />
&#160;&#160;[&lt;getter&gt;]<br />
&#160;&#160;[&lt;setter&gt;]<br />
} [= &lt;initial_value&gt;];<br />
<br />
&lt;getter&gt; and &lt;setter&gt; have different possible syntaxes:<br />
<br />
- [&lt;visibility&gt;] get { &lt;body_returning value&gt; }<br />
- [&lt;visibility&gt;] set { &lt;body assigning value&gt; }<br />
- [&lt;visibility&gt;] get =&gt; &lt;result_value&gt;;<br />
- [&lt;visibility&gt;] set =&gt; &lt;value_assignment&gt;;<br />
- [&lt;visibility&gt;] get;<br />
- [&lt;visibility&gt;] set;<br />
<br />
In the case that there is only a getter there is also a short version<br />
<br />
&lt;visibility&gt; &lt;type&gt; &lt;identifier&gt; =&gt; &lt;result_value&gt;;<br />
<br />
Thus, I propose the following syntaxes for TTCN-3 to define properties.<br />
<br />
var &lt;template_modifier&gt; &lt;type&gt; <br />
@property &lt;modifiers&gt; <br />
{&lt;identifier&gt; [&lt;property_body&gt;] [= &lt;initial_value&gt;] [&quot;,&quot;]}+ [&quot;;&quot;]<br />
<br />
&lt;property_body&gt; has the following structure:<br />
&quot;=&gt;&quot; &lt;expression&gt; |<br />
&quot;{&quot; (&lt;getter&gt; [&lt;setter&gt;] | &lt;setter&gt; [&lt;getter&gt;) &quot;}&quot;<br />
<br />
&lt;getter&gt; has the following structure:<br />
&lt;modifiers&gt; @get (&quot;=&gt;&quot; &lt;expression&gt; [&quot;;&quot;] | &quot;{&quot; { &lt;statement&gt; }+ &quot;}&quot;)<br />
<br />
&lt;setter&gt; has the following structure:<br />
&lt;modifiers&gt; @set (&quot;=&gt;&quot; &lt;assignment&gt; [&quot;;&quot;] | &quot;{&quot; { &lt;statement&gt; } &quot;}&quot;)<br />
<br />
We don't allow the { get; set; } syntax for automatic properties (without backing extra fields), instead, a @property variable without a &lt;property_body&gt; is treated as an automatic read/write property. <br />
<br />
When a property variable with a given &lt;setter&gt; is accessed on the left hand side of an assignment, the setter statements will be evaluated with the formal parameter 'value' being bound to the actual parameter of the right-hand-side. Accessing a non-automatic property value without a given &lt;setter&gt; on the left-hand side shall result in an error.<br />
<br />
When a property variable with a given &lt;getter&gt; is evaluated on the right hand side, the getter statements or expression will be evaluated and the resulting value will be the result of the evaluation. Accessing a non-automatic property value without a given &lt;getter&gt; on the right-hand side shall result in an error.<br />
<br />
Properties can be declared public and can be overridden by subclasses with the same visibility restrictions as for methods.<br />
<br />
Properties as well as their getters and setters can also be declared @abstract inside @abstract classes. If a property is declared abstract, the getter and/or setter does not need a body. <br />
<br />
A property, as well as getters and setters can also be declared @final. If a property is declared @final then neither the getter nor the setter can be overridden, otherwise, if a getter or setter itself is declared @final, then it shall not be overridden.<br />
<br />
Properties can be overridden by subclasses if they are not declared @final. <br />
<br />
EXAMPLE:<br />
<br />
type class MyPropertyClass {<br />
&#160;&#160;private var charstring v_color; <br />
<br />
&#160;&#160;// read-write property with backing variable<br />
&#160;&#160;public var charstring @property color {<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;// getter in short form<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;@get =&gt; v_color;<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;@set { <br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;if (isColor(value)) { v_color := value }<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;else { raise v_color&amp;&quot; is not a color&quot; }<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;}<br />
&#160;&#160;} <br />
&#160;&#160;<br />
&#160;&#160;// read-only property with computed value<br />
&#160;&#160;public var RGB @property rgb {<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;// getter in long form<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;@get { return computeRGB(v_color) }<br />
&#160;&#160;}<br />
&#160;&#160;<br />
&#160;&#160;// automatic property with initial value<br />
&#160;&#160;public var float @property size := 0.0; <br />
<br />
&#160;&#160;// read-only property with derived result in short form<br />
&#160;&#160;public var float @property square =&gt; size*size;<br />
<br />
&#160;&#160;// write-only property with short form<br />
&#160;&#160;public var float @property half_size {<br />
&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;@set =&gt; size := half_size*2.0;<br />

				The following things need to be discussed.<br />
<br />
What about the setters of list/array properties, is it allowed to use the index operation on them and if so, how to reference the index in the setter?<br />
<br />
Similarly, is it allowed to use a property in the middle of a dotted notation on the left hand side of an assignment? And if so, what does it mean? Does it invoke the getter, changes the resulting sub-value in the result and then invokes the setter with the changed value? If so, this approach could also be used to deal with question 1.			</td>

				We should also discuss the following:<br />
<br />
. The initial value is automatically passed to the setter when an instance of the defining class is created. This automatic invocation takes place after execution of a constructor of the parent class and before execution of  the constructor of the defining class. Properties are automatically initialized in the declaration order.<br />
<br />
I think, since properties are often derived from other variables, they should be initialized after the constructor of the declaring class so that they can safely be executed. There should also be a restriction that the constructor or any non-property member shall reference a property member on the right hand side.			</td>

				I made those two small changes we discussed at the meeting. The initialization didn't require any change as the original design used initialization before the constructor.<br />
<br />
Since there's no section on member variables, I added the @internal modifier description only to the section describing constructors (and syntax description of properties).<br />
<br />
Jacob, please check if these changes are fine by you. However, the document is still quite far from final. Since you mentioned that you didn't have many tasks assigned to you, could you please also create the BNF and eventually address the visibility issue (especially visibility on the getter and setter level).<br />
<br />
I could meanwhile deal with the TCI.			</td>
