[jira] Created: (BOO-482) Convert uppercased fields to properties

Convert uppercased fields to properties
---------------------------------------

         Key: BOO-482
         URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/BOO-482
     Project: Boo
        Type: Wish
  Components: Compiler  
    Versions: 0.6    
 Reporter: Doug Holton
    Priority: Minor
 Attachments: autoproperty.patch

Just posting this here in case anyone finds it useful.  This is a compiler step 
that creates a property wrapper for any upper-cased field, without the need for 
the [Property] attribute.  The field name is changed to add an underscore and 
lower-case the first letter.  Fields that are private or final are not wrapped 
with a property.

example:

import System.Xml.Serialization from System.Xml
class C:
        [XmlElement]
        Name = "myname"
        
        def doit():
                print Name
                
c = C()
c.doit()
print c.Name

/////////////////////////// is converted to:

import System.Xml.Serialization from System.Xml

public class C(System.Object):

        _name = 'myname'

        def doit():
                print Name

        [XmlElement]
        Name:
                get:
                        return _name
                set:
                        _name = value

c = C()
c.doit()
print c.Name
