An unfortunate side-effect of this behavior is that it is very > difficult to visualize and debug the generated code. > As it turns out, Drill's code-merge facility is, in essence, a do-it-yourself > version of subclassing. The Drill "template" is the parent class, the > generated code is the subclass. But, rather than using plain-old subclassing, > Drill combines the code from the two classes into a single "artificial" > packet of byte codes for which no source exists. > Modify the code generation path to optionally allow "plain-old Java" > compilation: the generated code is a subclass of the template. Compile the > generated code as a plain-old Java class with no byte-code fix-up. Write the > code to a known location that the IDE can search when looking for source > files. > With this change, developers can turn on the above feature, set a breakpoint > in a template, then step directly into the generated Java code called from > the template. > This feature should be an option, enabled by developers when needed. The > existing byte-code technique should be used for production code generation. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
