This is well-documented and looks like solid work. I think the main issue will be whether it can be made compatible with modular compilation. So the best timing will be to land it after modular compilation.
It looks like it should be compatible because the compiler doesn't need to see how a @Rebind method is implemented in order to call the generator for a call site? So we can run the generator in each module that calls a @Rebind-marked interface method. - Brian On Thu, Nov 28, 2013 at 6:19 AM, Andrés Testi <[email protected]>wrote: > The last 3 months I have been working on a GWT Improvement Proposal > inspired by the idea of Ray Cromwell for Relaxing constraints on > GWT.create()<http://timepedia.blogspot.com.ar/2009/03/relaxing-constraints-on-gwtcreate.html>. > I wrote a technical document and implemented it as a fork > of GWT master at GitHub<https://github.com/andrestesti/gwt-rebindingmethods> > . > As a quick example of what is possible to do with Rebinding Methods, you > can look at the hellorebinding > sample<https://github.com/andrestesti/gwt-rebindingmethods/blob/master/samples/hellorebinding/src/com/google/gwt/sample/hellorebinding/client/MainWidget.java#L39> > : > > public MainWidget() { > /* > * No boilerplate required to bind user interfaces. > */ > initWidget(UiBinders.createAndBindUi(Widget.class, MainWidget.class, > this)); > } > > > The working prototype is fully functional, and passed the same test suites > than GWT master.
