| * A ''ICodeLevelModel'' represents the "raw" model of a program, including only data directly extractable from the program source representation (Java bytecodes, Java source code, C/C++ source code...); | * A ''ICodeLevelModel'' represents the "raw" model of a program, including only data directly extractable from the program source representation (Java bytecodes, Java source code, C/C++ source code...); |

| ===== ''getName()'' and ''getPath()'' Methods ===== | ===== Names and Paths ===== |
| |
| The ''getName()'' always returns the simple name of a constituent. For binary-class relationships and method invocations, the name returned by ''getName()'' is less important, it could simply be ''Method Invocation'', for example. For a first-class entity, though, it is important, for example ''getName()'' returns ''Constituent'' for ''padl.kernel.IConstituent''. Here are other examples of ''getName()'' values: | The ''getName()'' always returns the simple name of a constituent.

| | ===== Visitors ===== |
| | |
| | The PADL metamodel provide two types of visitors to allow third-party to analyse PADL models. It follows the standard API for visitors but with a twist for the implementation. Understading the PADL visitors [[http://www.ptidej.net/team/photos/180306 - Understanding PADL Visitor|is easy]]! |
