Bug in Optimizer

Added by Anonymous over 14 years ago

We suspect to have found a bug in the optimizer. A rather complicated computed variable value causes an exception with the default optimization, if optimization is disabled it runs fine. You can find a test case and complete bug description [here][1]. [1]: http://pohl-michael.gmx.home.de/saxon-optimizer-bug/saxon-optimizer-bug.zip

I fear the download does not work at the moment, so here are the XSLT code and the error message (use any XML file as input).

Sorry I missed this in the last post, but we used Saxon HE 9.2.0.3.

Thanks for getting it down to such a simple test case - this helps a lot with this kind of bug. It's still a bit of a nightmare tracing all the decisions the optimizer is making, but I got it in the end. It's hard to describe precisely the conditions that trigger the bug, but it's another instance of a class of problems in which the expression tree is changed by the optimizer without changing all the cached derived information held on the tree that can be invalidated by the change. A patch will be raised. Meanwhile you can work around the problem by pulling out the parts of the expression that depend on the context item (things like //pord/) into a separate variable (which is what the optimizer is trying to do unsuccessfully).
