----------------------------------------
Summary: Add choiceLengthKind='endOfParent'
Key: DAFFODIL-3080
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-3080
Project: Daffodil
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Back End, DFDL Language
Affects Versions: 4.2.0
Reporter: Olabusayo Kilo
The DFDL spec (12.3.6) explicitly mentions that an EndOfParent element
can be terminated by a choice with choiceLengthKind='explicit', with no
reference
to implicit length choices. Later on in 12.3.6, it specified what the parent
Effective
Length Units would be for an explicit length choice, again with no reference
to
implicit length choices. The only way to get an EndOfParent element within an
implicit length choice would be to have it actually be terminated by the
choice's
parent, similar to how we treat elements within an element that is also
EndOfParent.
Alternatively we can also add a choiceLengthKind="EndOfParent" that looks to
the parent's parent for the effective length unit of the parent.
