Description
Reported on the help forum on this site today by Nikolay Ognyanov
The XQuery compiler accepts a comma after the last parameter in function declarations. Here is an example which compiles and runs under Saxon-PE 9.5.0.2 :
xquery version "1.0";
declare function local:foo($a,)
{
$a
};
local:foo(1)
The parameter list is defined as
ParamList ::= Param ("," Param)*
So this is clearly a bug albeit a minor one.
