Erlang Plugin for NetBeans in Scala#6: Semantic Analyzer

With more detailed AstNodeVisitor.scala, I got the semantic information of function calls, variable definitions and references etc. It’s time to implement CSL’s SemanticAnalyzer, which is the entrance of semantic highlighting.

I then encountered a Scala’s corner case issue :-(

SemanticAnalyzer.java is a sub-class of ParserResultTask:

package org.netbeans.modules.parsing.spi;
public abstract class ParserResultTask<T extends Parser.Result> extends SchedulerTask { public abstract void run (T result, SchedulerEvent event); public abstract int getPriority ();
}

ParserResultTask’s signature in class file is:

<<TLorg/netbeans/modules/parsing/spi/Parser$Result;>Lorg/netbeans/modules/parsing/spi/SchedulerTask;>

run‘s method signature:

<(TT;Lorg/netbeans/modules/parsing/spi/SchedulerEvent;)V>

ErlangSemanticAnalyzer extended SemanticAnalyzer, so I should implement:

void run (T result, SchedulerEvent event);

which carries type parameter T from ParserResultTask<T extends Parser.Result>. But unfortunately, SemanticAnalyzer extends ParserResultTask as:

public abstract class SemanticAnalyzer extends ParserResultTask;

That is, SemanticAnalyzer erased type parameter of its parent. It’s valid in Java. But in Scala, I can not successfully extend SemanticAnalyzer anymore, since when I tried to implement “void run (T result, SchedulerEvent event)”, the scalac always complained that I did not override this method with type T. It seems scalac checks type parameter deeply, and needs sub-class to always explicitly extend parent class with type parameter. Since SemanticAnalyzer has erased type parameter, even I tried to implement “run” as:

override def run[T <: Parser.Result](result:T, event:SchedulerEvent) :Unit 

scalac still complained about it.

I have no idea of how to bypass this issue. I then patched SemanticAnalyzer.java, let it carries same type parameter as its parent:

public abstract class SemanticAnalyzer<T extends Parser.Result> extends ParserResultTask<T> 

Now everything works. My final code is:

}

In ErlangSemanticeAnalyzer, what you need to do is traversing all AstDfn and AstRef instances, and give them a proper ColoringAttributes set. I marked all functions as METHOD_SET(mod-method), attributes as STATIC_SET(mod-static), and function call names as FIELD_SET(mod-field), parameters as PARAMETER_SET(mod-parameter), the names in parenthesis are the corresponding names that in fontColors.xml setting file, you can define the highlighting effects in this xml file.

Again, don’t forget to register it in ErlangLanguage.scala:

override def getSemanticAnalyzer = new ErlangSemanticAnalyzer

Run it, and I got highlighted source code as:

The function declaration names are underline, parameters are bold, function calls are bold too.

I’ll gather even more detailed semantic information later, so I can identity the unused variable definitions and var references without definitions etc.
