Synaptic delay and weight in NEST are a special case and should not be treated like any other parameter (or state variable). It should be get/set only using
get_delay()
andset_delay()
inherited from theConnection
base class. A member variable is already provided by the base class.get_weight()
andset_weight()
should be defined by the synapse model, but a member variable is not yet provided by the base class. We could make it such that no state or parameter marked@nest::weight
is needed for minimalistic models.When a decorator is specified in the model, the parameter can only be get/set using the name given as part of the decorator, termed the "namespace name" (i.e. "weight" instead of "w" and "delay" for "d").
As part of this PR,
ASTExternalVariable
was refactored out and replaced by thealternate_name
(andalternate_scope
) fields of a regularASTVariable
.Fixes #707.
