Hi all,
I've taken a look where in my source code I can use instanceof Point(var x, var
y) instead of instanceof Point p.
I've discovered that i've a lot of occurrences where i only need some record
components but not all of them,
by example, i've an AST that defines the declaration of a variable like this
record LocalVarExpr(String name, Expr init) implements Expr { }
When i want to some analysis, i've a code like this:
Env env = ...
if (expr instanceof LocalVarExpr local) {
visit(local.init, env);
}
Using the DeconstructionPattern, i can transform the code to
Env env = ...
if (expr instanceof LocalVarExpr(var name, var init)) {
visit(init, env);
}
but it also introduce the local variable 'name' in the block
Obviously, the way to solve that is to use '_' like this:
Env env = ...
if (expr instanceof LocalVarExpr(_, var init)) {
visit(init, env);
}
I wonder if introducing only the DeconstructionPattern as Point(int x, int y)
and Point(var x, var y) without introducing '_' is a good idea.
Declaring a local variable you don't want make the code very artificial.
cheers,
Rémi
