<td colspan="5" class="print">0006016: Ambiguous rules for matching
symbols for optional fields</td>
</tr>
<tr class="even print">
<td class="print-category">Description</td>
<td colspan="5" class="print">The core language specification v. 4.3.1
contains ambiguous rules for the following matching symbols: any value
or none, omit and for the ifpresent attribute.<br />
<br />
The table 11 in chapter 15.7. states that the symbols "can be assigned
to templates, however when used shall be applied to optional fields of
record and set types". Similar rules are provided in the annex B:<br />
B.1.2.4 Any value or none: "It can be used on values of all types,
provided that the template field is declared as optional"<br />
B.1.2.8 Omitting optional fields: "It can be assigned to templates, but
shall only be used in fields of record and set types provided that the
fields are optional."<br />
B.1.4.2 The IfPresent indicator: "This attribute may be used with all
the matching mechanisms, provided this field is declared as
optional."<br />
<br />
These rules obviously forbid using the above mentioned matching symbols
in any template which is not an optional record or set field. The
question is, what the word "use" stands for. The might be two different
interpretations:<br />
1. "Use" means any kind of operation with the template, including
assignment. (e.g. the rule in B.1.2.4 seems to suggest that)<br />
2. "Use" means only matching operations, i.e. it is legal to assign the
symbol to any template, but if the template is used for matching and it
does not fulfil the criteria of being applied to an optional field, it
produces an error:<br />
<br />
type record R { integer field1 optional }<br />
testcase TC() runs on C<br />
{<br />
  template integer vt_1 := *;<br />
  p1.receive(R:{ field1 := vt_1 }; // legal<br />
  p1.receive(vt_1); // illegal<br />
}<br />
<br />
The rules specified in the chapter 15.8 seem to use the latter
interpretation, because otherwise (using the former interpretation) the
template(omit) restriction would make no sense (it would never be
possible that the whole template resolves to omit). There are also
several examples that allow assigmnent of the above mentioned matching
mechanisms to a target that isn't an optional record or set field,
e.g.:<br />
// Example from chapter 15.8<br />
template(omit) ExampleType exampleOmit := omit;<br />
// Example 1 in 5.4.1.2<br />
template MyMessageType MyTemplate (template integer
MyFormalParam):=<br />
{ ... }<br />
pco1.receive(MyTemplate(omit));<br />
<br />
<br />
Proposal:<br />
I suggest the rules for handling the above mentioned matching mechanisms
should be generalized in a dedicated chapter and made more detailed. The
current rules (15.7 table 11, B.1.2.4, B.1.2.8 and B.1.4.2) shall be
replaced with a reference to this chapter. The chapter shall contain the
following rules:<br />
<br />
15.7.5 Matching mechanisms for optional fields<br />
This chapter specifies rules for the following mechanisms: omit, any
value or none and ifpresent. The rules apply also to value lists and
complemented value lists containing omit, any value or none or ifpresent
on any level of nesting.<br />
<br />
The matching mechanisms for optional fields can be assigned only to
templates, template variables, template parameters or optional fields of
record or set templates. An error shall be produced when these matching
mechanisms are assigned to a field of a record of, set of, array, union
or anytype template or when used inside a subset or superset.<br />
<br />
The matching mechanisms for optional fields can be used for matching
only if they are assigned to optional fields of a record or set
template.<br />
<br />
Example 1:<br />
type record R<br />
{<br />
  integer field1,<br />
  integer field2 optional<br />
}<br />
<br />
type record of integer RI;<br />
<br />
type union U<br />
{<br />
   integer option1,<br />
   charstring option2<br />
}<br />
template R t_1 (template integer p_1) :=<br />
{<br />
  field1 := 1,<br />
  field2 := p_1<br />
}<br />
...<br />
template R t_2<br />
{<br />
  field1 := 2,<br />
  field2 := 1 ifpresent // legal: field2 is an optional record
field<br />
}<br />
var template integer vt_1 := *; // legal: vt_1 is a template
variable<br />
var template RI vt_2 := {1, * }; // legal: * literal is interpretted
as<br />
                                 // AnyElementOrNone<br />
vt_2 := {1, vt_1}; // illegal: AnyValueOrNone assigned to a record
of<br />
template U t_3 := { option1 := 5 ifpresent } // illegal: ifpresent
assigned to<br />
                                             // a union field<br />
template integer t_4 := (1, 2, omit); // legal: AnyValueOrNone used in a
value<br />
                                      // list; the same as (1, 2)
ifpresent<br />
<br />
p1.receive(t_1(omit)); // legal: omit used as a template parameter and
the<br />
                       // parameter is assigned to an optional field.
Omit is<br />
                       // then used for matching the optional field
value.<br />
p1.receive(vt_1); // illegal: vt_1 (containing AnyValueOrNone) is not
an<br />
                  // optional record field, but it is used for
matching<br />
<br />
<br />
Compared to the current specification, the suggested rules don't give
any room for different interpretations, provide comprehensive and
logical functionality and they are in line with other clauses
(especially 15.8) and examples.</td>

<td class="print">Let separate the technical side from the question, how
to handle the solution in the standard's text. So, let see the technical
question, where *, omit and ifpresent are allowed?<br />
<br />
I agree, that this question is somewhat umbigous today.<br />
<br />
As all your examples are correct, I suppose that we have a common
understanding. Our understanding is that it is not an assignment vs.
matching question but rather an top-level-assignment vs. field
assignment vs. matching question.<br />
<br />
So,<br />
- at the TOP level, they are allowed to be assigned to any template
(template, template var, template par) independent of the type of the
template. This also includes template lists and complement lists. But
not allowed in subsets and supersets, but this is defined
unambiguously.<br />
Let's borrow one of your examples:<br />
type union U {<br />
   integer option1,<br />
   charstring option2<br />
}<br />
template U t_u := *; // is legal<br />
<br />
- at the field level, they are allowed to be assigned to optional fields
of record and sets only, as in your example:<br />
template U t_3 := { option1 := 5 ifpresent } // illegal<br />
<br />
 or another example:<br />
template R t_1 (template integer p_1) := { field1 := 1, field2 := *}
//OK<br />
template R t_1 (template integer p_1) := { field1 := *, field2 := 2}
//NOK<br />
<br />
- at the time of matching (receiving or the match operation), they can
be used in optional fields of records and sets only; i.e.<br />
p.receive (t_u) //shall cause an error<br />
<br />
<br />
The another question is, how to specify these rules in the standard's
text.<br />
Today, we have two places in the standard, where matching mechanisms are
specified: clause 15.7 an Annex B. Clause 15.7 in principle contains
just a basic information and a reference to Annex B. So, we shouldn't
put the above rules there, to avoid inconsistencies with Anex B (that we
may have even today). It's better to keep all major rules in Annex B.
But Annex B is structured according to the matching mechanisms and this
is correct, if someone is searches for rules on how to use an *, he/she
should find it in one place. So, what I propose to add the text
clarifying the rules for each concerned matching mechanism to its own
existing clause, even if this is partly a copy-paste work.<br />
<br />
Before going on I would like to know your opinion, if the above is OK, I
can continue with proposing a text.</td>
