Hi,
I'm using libxml2/libxslt for a couple of years. When I recently moved
some XSLT code from an old machine running libxslt 1.1.12 to a newer
machine that is running 1.1.24, I found a problem with the scope of
global variables. I could reduce the case to the following very short
(meaningless) snippet:
$ cat test.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform
">
<xsl:variable name="x">x</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="x...@name = $x]"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
$ xsltproc test.xsl test.xsl
XPath error : Undefined variable
compilation error: file test.xsl line 4 element template
Failed to compile predicate
1.1.12 does not lead to this error. From reading the specs I cannot
see why the global variable $x is not defined within the Xpath
expression of a template's "match" attribute.
Does anybody have an explanation for this changed bahavior? Am I doing
something wrong?
Thanks,
-frank
