Subject: RE: Default value for rank

 

Sorry, it’s not quite as bad as I thought. We can either specify a numeric default (0? 50? 100?) or not. If we don’t, then at the
format level, the
absence of the property signifies “unknown”. The
SDK can translate “absent” to “-1.0”.

 

We’ve played this trick many times; I don’t know why I keep forgetting it.

Subject: [sarif] Default value for rank

 

What’s the default for result.rank?

 

0?

50?

100?

“-1”, meaning unassigned? (but then we have to set minValue: -1.0, maxValue: 100, and now -0.5 is valid).

Null? Is this what breaks us down and forces us to support nullable properties in the code generator?

 

Thanks,

Larry
