Known problems in XML/Ada version 4.2.0
=======================================
Copyright (C) 2011-2012, AdaCore
The following is a listing of known problems in release 4.2.0. Except where
specifically noted, all these problems have been corrected in the development
tree of the 4.3 technology. This means they are corrected in any 4.3.0w
wavefront issued subsequent to the date specified (in ISO format YYYY-MM-DD) in
the status line. This can be used to determine if a given wavefront has the fix
identified in the entry.
KP-42-L921-037 Schema: leading and trailing zeros in decimal values
Problem: XML/Ada does not properly ignore leading and trailing zeros
when comparing a decimal value with the various facets like
minIncluside, totalDigits, fractionDigits,...
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: Avoid putting these unsignificant zeros in the XML file (thus
also leading to a small XML file). However, this is not always
applicable if you do not control the origin of the XML file.
KP-42-L327-044 Schema: change of behavior in Schema.Dom_Readers.Free
Problem: The previous implementation of Free would free the DOM tree
that was just parsed, and not call the inherited Free, thus
leaving a memory leak. As a result, the implementation was
changed so that now you must call Free on the parser. But since
users might want to keep the tree around for a longer time, Free
no longer deallocates the tree, which must be freed separately.
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: Do not call Schema.Dom_Readers.Free with older versions of
XML/Ada. This will result in a small memory leak. but is safe
when you need to keep the tree around.
KP-42-L316-045 SAX: slow parsing when node character content contains slashes
Problem: When a node's text content contains slashes ('/'), the parsing
is slow
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: Use a <![CDATA[...]]> markup to protect the whole contents of
the node.
KP-42-L104-021 Schema: missing checks for Unique Particle Attribution rule
Problem: A schema should be reported as invalid in a number of cases:
when an element has multiple children with the same name but
different types, or when a <choice> or <all> has multiple
children with the same name.
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: Check the grammar with an external tool first. This issue does
not impact document validation if the grammar is correct.
KP-42-L104-016 Schema: mixedContent ignored when using complexContent
Problem: When a type is declared as a <complexType mixed="true"..> but
contains a <complexContent> child, the mixed attribute is
ignored. As a result, nodes of this type cannot include text
contents.
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: None.
KP-42-L103-016 Schema: a complexContent's base must be a complex type
Problem: XML/Ada does not check that the base type in a complexContent
is a complex type.
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: Check the grammar with an external tool first. This issue does
not impact document validation if the grammar is correct.
KP-42-L103-011 Schema: missing check for valid attribute types
Problem: When an attribute is defined as using an unknown simple type
(for instance xsd:natural), no error is reported.
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: Check the grammar with an external tool first. Once the grammar
is correct, XML/Ada will correctly handle it.
KP-42-KC09-030 Project files not found on x86_64-linux
Problem: When installing on a 64bit linux platform, the projects
files are copied into the wrong directory and cannot be found
automatically by the compiler.
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: Either set the GPR_PROJECT_PATH environment variable, or
manually copy the project files from prefix/lib64/gnat/ to
prefix/lib/gnat/.
KP-42-K518-020 Heap exhausted when validating <all> element
Problem: The implementation of the state machine for <all> nodes was
generating states for all possible combinations of the children
of <all>. In many cases, this resulted in huge state machines
and heap exhaustion.
Status: Fixed in XML/Ada 4.3.0
Workaround: None.
