possible xpath2 bug and work around

Added by Anonymous about 19 years ago

Using saxon8.jar when I try to execute: <xsl:copy-of select="$currnode/m:mprescripts/preceding-sibling::* [ (fn:position() mod 2 eq 1) and (fn:position() ne fn:last()) and (not(self::m:none))]"/> I get the error: java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: -1 at net.sf.saxon.tinytree.PrecedingSiblingEnumeration.next(PrecedingSiblingEnumeration.java:35) In order to get it to work I have to avoid using the fn:last() function. I do this by declaring a variable that counts all the children before the copy-of instruction and replacing fn:last() with this variable: <xsl:variable name="num-preceding-sib" select="fn:count($currnode/m:mprescripts/preceding-sibling::)"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$currnode/m:mprescripts/preceding-sibling:: [ (position() mod 2 eq 1) and (position() ne $num-preceding-sib) and (not(self::m:none))]"/> Jonathan

Thanks for reporting this. Can you put together a repro (stylesheet plus source document) that demonstrates the problem? Otherwise it's rather difficult to investigate (it may well depend on aspects of the stylesheet outside the code fragment you've sent me). It's definitely a bug, and assuming this is on Saxon 8.4, it doesn't look like one that I know about. Thanks.
