terms and choice of words

[HolQue]

It seems to me that it's time to clarify and define the usage of some terms. Also to ensure that we all use these terms in an unitary way - in documentation, code and issues, and also in discussions with customers.

This is my proposal:

A 'dollar operator expression' consists of a dollar operator and a pair of curly brackets: ${param}.

In case of a dollar operator expression contains one or more than one dollar operator expression, it's a 'nested dollar operator expression': ${param.${param}}.

A subsequence of dollar operator expressions is not 'nested' in my opinion: ${param}[${param}], "ABC-${param1}_${param2}".

The first one '${param}[${param}]' I would simply call a 'dollar operator expression'.

And the second one '"ABC-${param1}_${param2}"' I would call a 'composite string'.

Do you agree? Any additions?

Hi Holger,
After some thinking I come to following conclusion:
I would use the word "nested" if we have a dollar operator expression where we have inside at least one new dollar operator expression before the curly bracket of the first expression is closed.
E.g. from your example: ${param.${param}}.

All other cases are sequences of $-expressions.

Thank you,
Thomas

Hi @namsonx ,
please remove in general the word "nested" from your error messages.
This has nearly no value for the end user, but makes it difficult for you to identify which exact error message you need to generate.
Thank you,
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

I removed the word "nested" out of all error messages on stabi branch.

Thank you,
