Name Errors/Static/MissingModifier

Synopsis A modifier is missing in a declaration.

Description Rascal functions can be implemented in Java. This is the case for many functions in the standard library. This requires these elements:

• An abstract Rascal function declaration (= a function header without a body).
• The keyword java should be part of the function header.
• The function declaration is annotated (uing javaClass) with the name of the Java class that implements this function.

This error is generated when the java keyword is missing.

Remedy: Contact the Rascal developers:

• Ask a question at Rascal Ask site.
• Read the currently open issues at the Rascal's issue tracker. If your problem has not yet been reported by someone else, please report it here.

If you are an expert developer and have implemented your own extension in Java, please check your own extension code first.

Examples This is how the size function on lists is declared in the Rascal library:

rascal>@javaClass{org.rascalmpl.library.Prelude}
>>>>>>>public java int size(list[&T] lst);
int (list[&T]): int size(list[&T]);

This is what happens if the java keyword is missing:

rascal>@javaClass{org.rascalmpl.library.Prelude}
>>>>>>>public int size(list[&T] lst);
|stdin:///|(0,72,<1,0>,<2,30>): Missing modifier: java
