Saxon » SaxonC

We have had problems getting the interactive part of Gizmo working with SaxonC. This is because JLine2 does is not completely compatible with Graalvm:

Interactive options do not work in conjunction with JLine 2’s ConsoleReader. Either implement a IParameterConsumer which uses JLine2’s ConsoleReader directly or use picocli-shell-jline3.

I have had to remove the Gizmo project from SaxonC build script for now because it is currently crashing the Graalvm build under windows.

What is the supposed state of Gizmo in the SaxonC 12.1 release? I have Gizmo.c in commands and the bat file builds Gizmo.exe without problems but while I can start the Java Gizmo without any arguments Gizmo.exe tells me "Error: Not enough arguments in Transform".

O'Neil, what is in your assessment the state of Gizmo in the 12.1 SaxonC release? Should it work? Should it work without any arguments, as the Java version does?

Hi Martin, It is currently not supported. There are issues with the Line interactive feature with Graalvm. I will revisit this post 12.1.

There are fundamental issues with getting Gizmo to work on SaxonC. Putting this on the todo list.
