Bug #2993
closed
Saxon does not allow multiple annotations (on an XQuery function/variable) that have the same name.
100%
Description
There appears to be nothing in the XQuery spec that disallows multiple annotations with the same name. But Saxon rejects it with XPST0003.
If we do allow multiple annotations with the same name, it complicates any API we might provide to access this information. Currently there is no support for annotations in the data model, so it's hard to work out what was intended.
I have created QT3 test cases annotation-37, annotation-38, and annotation-assertion-19 to test this situation.

I have changed the parser to allow multiple annotations with the same name (while continuing to implement the special rules for private/public/updating/simple).
The XQueryFunction and UserFunction objects now have a public method getAnnotations() which returns a list of Annotation objects.
For 9.8 I have gone considerably further - for example a saxon:function-annotations() extension is now available. See the change log for details.
