<br />
type record Pair { integer i, integer j }<br />
type Pair AllowedPair ({1, 2}, {2, 3})<br />
<br />
function f() {<br />
&#160;&#160;var AllowedPair x := {1, 2}<br />
&#160;&#160;inc(x.i); // this should be an error<br />
}<br />
<br />
function inc(inout integer p) {<br />
&#160;&#160;p := p + 1;<br />
}<br />
<br />
Then at runtime, this would lead to an invalid variable assignment to variable x which is probably not checked at runtime (because implementing this in general would mean that for every assignment all the subtype constraints of all the containing variables need to be checked) and thus can lead to problems.<br />
<br />
Therefore, I propose to disallow any use as lvalues of field references constrained by a subtyping constraint of one of their ancestors, i.e. as the target variable in an assignment or as an inout or out parameter.<br />
<br />
That means that such constrained records always have to be assigned in-bulk (by using structured value notations), at least for all the fields that are constrained by the subtyping constraints of their ancestors. <br />
If a field is not constrained by an ancestor's subtyping constraint, it can still be normally used as lvalue.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
type record R { integer k, integer i, integer j }<br />
type R R2 ({ k:= 1, i := 2}, { k:= 2, i := 3})<br />
<br />
function g() {<br />
&#160;&#160;var R2 x := { 1, 2 }<br />
&#160;&#160;x.k := 2; // error<br />
&#160;&#160;inc(x.i); // error<br />
&#160;&#160;inc(x.j); // allowed<br />
&#160;&#160;x.j := 5; // allowed<br />
}<br />

				I know that we talked about this, but... when considering the issue, this would mean that constrained structured types can be used to define constants and templates only...; I would say it is quite rare that the user assignes values for the complete structured variable only but never to its fields...; quite the opposite, structured variables are commonly used to construct the value at runtime step-by-step. So, the user will not be able to define parameterized templates for the type, dynamic construction of values/templates would be impossible, what about in parameters (disallowing inout and out only would - again - create a very specific exception in the language) and last but not least would also limit valid uses, when the value assigned to a field is in line with the constraint of the type.<br />
This needs further consideration in the STF.<br />

Introducing the change requested in this CR would make such ASN.1 definitions almost unable from TTCN-3 as well.			</td>

contained subtype is a relatively popular construct in ASN.1.<br />
<br />
Today it is possible and allowed to change just one field of a variable based on such an imported ASN.1 type. But the point is, that a limitation of this kind would be non-backward compatible.<br />
<br />
As we cannot agree on accepting the proposal, either we can agree on closing the CR with not fixed as we escalate it to MTS.<br />

				Maybe we should find out if any of the existing tools are even aware of the problem and deal with it properly. I.e. it is very easy to produce values that violate the restrictions even though this can only be caught at runtime and only via quite complicated checking (which I am almost sure no tool does).<br />
<br />
Since closing the CR would leave the problem thus unresolved, I think an escalation to MTS would then be the way to go.<br />
<br />
As a compromise, we could, of course, at least (like we did for the non-determinism of initializing templates) strongly advise against such usages (as the potentially problematic places can be determined statically) so that <br />
<br />
a) people become aware of the potential problem <br />
b) tools have an incentive to check for those situation			</td>
