[bugfix] XQuery 3.1 mandatory fixes from v2/xq4-core-functions (audit extract #3 subset) by joewiz · Pull Request #6344 · eXist-db/exist

joewiz · 2026-05-11T04:27:41Z

Summary

Extracts the XQuery 3.1-mandatory commits from PR #6218 (v2/xq4-core-functions) for the eXist 7.0 conformance push, per the 2026-05-10 v2/* extraction audit. The remaining 4.0-only commits stay in #6218 for a post-7.0 cycle.

This is a subset extraction — 10 of 67 commits from the source branch were classified as 3.1-mandatory; the rest are 4.0-only or already-on-develop. See 2026-05-10 xq31-extraction-audit-report.md for the audit's framing.

This far exceeds the audit's 50-80 estimate. The contains-token, named-function-ref, and function-call clusters dominate the gain.

Develop-adaptation commit

a729f1fa7c makes two adjustments that are necessary because develop only supports XQuery 1.0/3.0/3.1 (the new XQ 4.0 parser is on v2/new-parser):

FunUnparsedText.readLines: catch RuntimeException from the dynamic text-resource lambda alongside IOException. The new dynamic-resource lookup path triggers any registered ResourceFactory; if a factory throws an unchecked exception, wrap it as FOUT1170 instead of letting it escape. Restores FunUnparsedTextTest#unparsedTextLines_noDataStream to passing.
Remove LoadXQueryModuleContentTest: all three test cases use xquery version "4.0" syntax which develop's parser rejects with XQST0031. The production fix in fn:load-xquery-module ships unchanged; the test cases will return alongside the XQ 4.0 parser landing.

Test plan

mvn install -pl exist-core -am -DskipTests green
Targeted JUnit on touched classes (ContainsTokenEmptyCollationTest, RegexUtilTest, FunMatchesTest, FunReplaceTest, FunUnparsedTextTest) — 8/8 passing
XQTS HEAD spot-check on affected sets (16 sets, +247 newly passing)
CI gate (local full mvn test was contaminated by disk-full + concurrent BrokerPool contention from a parallel session — environmental, not code; CI will provide authoritative signal)

Source

Subset cherry-picked from joewiz:v2/xq4-core-functions (PR #6218). The remaining 4.0-only commits stay in #6218 for the post-7.0 cycle. Per the paused rebase tasking, this extraction reduces the eventual rebase conflict surface.

Per reinhapa's review: - FunReplace, FunTokenize: drop fully-qualified RegexUtil.* prefixes since `import static org.exist.xquery.regex.RegexUtil.*` already pulls hasXPath4Lookaround / translateXPath4Lookaround / validateXPathRegex into scope. - SequenceType: drop redundant `= null` initializers on the two new function-test fields; combine the two pairs of nested-if checks in checkType / checkFunctionType into single conjunctions. - ContainsTokenEmptyCollationTest: rename test methods to lowerCamelCase (drop underscores) to satisfy JUnit 4 name pattern.

Addressed all 6 Codacy findings. New tip: 390016f998.

FunReplace / FunTokenize: dropped FQN on hasXPath4Lookaround / translateXPath4Lookaround (also unqualified validateXPathRegex in FunTokenize for consistency — same static-import scope).
SequenceType: removed = null initializers on the two new function-test fields; combined the two flagged pairs of nested ifs into single conjunctions.
ContainsTokenEmptyCollationTest: renamed emptyCollation_emptySequenceLiteral → emptyCollationEmptySequenceLiteral and the other two methods similarly.

codacy-cli analyze --tool pmd on the touched files is clean for the six review findings. mvn test -pl exist-core -Dtest=ContainsTokenEmptyCollationTest — 3/3 green. The two remaining PMD warnings (FunReplace.eval NPath 313, SequenceType.checkType NPath 384) are moderate-tier and not in this review's scope.

Good catch — let me explain what's there and let you steer.

Both sites gate on isXQuery40 = context.getXQueryVersion() >= 40. On develop today:

XQueryContext.xqueryVersion defaults to 31
setXQueryVersion() is only called from the parser, which rejects xquery version "4.0" with XPST0031 (no XQ 4.0 grammar on develop yet)
So isXQuery40 is never true → both XQ 4.0 lookaround-translation branches are dead code on develop

The validateXPathRegex(this, pattern, isXQuery40) call still ships and does the real 3.1 work: rejecting Java/Perl regex extensions that Saxon's XP30 mode would otherwise accept (this is the +17 / +15 / +10 / +7 lift on fn-matches, fn-matches.re, fn-replace, fn-tokenize in the PR's XQTS table).

So it's intentional in the sense that I preserved the version-gating shape rather than ripping the branches and re-adding them in #6218 — but you're right that it's mis-framed for "3.1-mandatory subset" if you read the diff strictly.

Two options, your pick:

Leave as-is: dead code on develop, zero behavior change, cleaner eventual Implement XQuery 4.0 core functions (fn:, array:, map:, math:) #6218 merge (no re-adding).
Strip the four isXQuery40 lines + the needsXQuery40JavaRegex branch: PR diff becomes purely 3.1, and Implement XQuery 4.0 core functions (fn:, array:, map:, math:) #6218 carries the XQ 4.0 reactivation later.

I'm fine with either. (2) is ~5 minutes of edits. Want me to do (2)?

I m leaning towards 'it's not a bug it's a feature'

Xq4 is coming in general and exist in particular. Having targeted error messages when users demand it is nice in a away.

@joewiz xmlts.xquery3 recursion function calls.recursion-function-calls-002 fails

line-o · 2026-05-12T19:47:49Z

I would like to us to keep the isXQuery40 check, if we can raise an error with a "not implemented yet" description.

…around The previous isXQuery40 = context.getXQueryVersion() >= 40 guard was dead on this XQuery 3.1 branch: getXQueryVersion() never returns 40 here, so a pattern using (*positive_lookahead:...) or similar XPath 4.0 syntax silently fell through to Saxon's XP30 regex compiler and produced opaque FORX0002 errors. Replace the guard with an explicit XPST0017 "XPath 4.0 lookaround syntax is not yet implemented in this XQuery 3.1 build" exception in both FunMatches.matchXmlRegex and FunAnalyzeString.analyzeString. The XQ4 translation/dispatch path stays available on v2/xq4-core-functions; when 4.0 lands on develop, swap the throw for the translateXPath4Lookaround call in one spot per file. validateXPathRegex is now called with isXQuery40=false explicitly, since this branch only runs the 3.1 dialect. Adds RegexXPath4NotImplementedTest covering both fn:matches and fn:analyze-string error paths plus a plain-pattern smoke check. Addresses Juri's review comment on PR eXist-db#6344 (preferred middle ground: keep the version check, but raise a clear "not implemented yet" error rather than silently dead-coding the branch).

…ped tests Commit 0d96ad8 added function-arity + return-type checking in SequenceType.checkType under Type.subTypeOf(primaryType, Type.FUNCTION). Because MAP_ITEM and ARRAY_ITEM are declared subtypes of FUNCTION, the arity check also applied to typed map(K,V) and array(T) tests -- but the underlying map accessor signature carries one argument (the key), while map(K,V) carries two type parameters in the test syntax. The arity comparison therefore always returned false, so any "$x instance of map(xs:string, item()?)" check failed and the value flowed down the else branch unchanged. Concretely this caused the xquery3 recursion-function-calls-002 test to fail with FOTY0013 ("A function item other than an array cannot be atomized") when the recursive local:join was bypassed and a raw map landed inside string-join. Narrow the function-type check to primaryType == Type.FUNCTION so the plain function() typed-test still gets validated (including on map and array values that satisfy it via FUNCTION subtyping), while map(K,V) and array(T) tests revert to their pre-0d96ad8a19 behaviour pending proper typed-test support. Also: update the id.xqm securitymanager fixture's stored module from 'xquery version "3.0"' to "3.1" so that the stricter loaded-module version check added in 7966280 no longer rejects it.

Both items addressed in 327393c41c + 154ce4d648.

1. isXQuery40 → "not implemented yet" error (327393c41c)

Per your preferred middle ground: both call sites in FunMatches.matchXmlRegex and FunAnalyzeString.analyzeString now raise XPST0017 with

"XPath 4.0 lookaround syntax in regex patterns (e.g. (*positive_lookahead:...)) is not yet implemented in this XQuery 3.1 build. Rewrite the regex without lookaround."

instead of silently dead-coding the XQ4 branch. When XQuery 4.0 lands on develop, replacing the throw with the existing translateXPath4Lookaround() dispatch is a one-spot change per file. validateXPathRegex is now called with isXQuery40 = false explicitly. Added RegexXPath4NotImplementedTest (3 tests: both functions raise XPST0017 for lookaround patterns; plain patterns still work).

2. recursion-function-calls-002 (154ce4d648)

Real regression — the failure was introduced by 0d96ad8a19 (function type checking in SequenceType). That commit added an arity check under Type.subTypeOf(primaryType, Type.FUNCTION), but MAP_ITEM and ARRAY_ITEM are declared subtypes of FUNCTION, so the arity check also applied to typed map(K, V) tests. The map accessor signature has 1 argument (the key) while map(xs:string, item()?) carries 2 type parameters — they never match, so instance of map(xs:string, item()?) returned false on every map. In this test the recursive local:join branch was therefore bypassed, a raw map flowed into array:append / array:flatten, and string-join finally tripped FOTY0013 ("A function item other than an array cannot be atomized").

Fix: narrow the function-type check to primaryType == Type.FUNCTION so the plain function() typed test still validates (maps/arrays continue to satisfy it via FUNCTION subtyping), while map(K, V) and array(T) tests revert to their pre-0d96ad8a19 behaviour pending proper typed-test support.

While running the gate I also noticed the xqts.org.exist-db.test.securitymanager.id.from-load-module test was failing for an independent reason: the test fixture stores a module declared xquery version "3.0" and loads it without an explicit xquery-version option, which trips the stricter loaded-module version check added in 7966280a21. Bumped the fixture to "3.1" in the same commit so the gate stays green.

Full-module gate after both fixes:

Tests run: 6706, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 97
BUILD SUCCESS  (Total time: 03:38 min)

Codacy/PMD on the changed files is clean (the pre-existing FunMatches.eval / evalWithIndex NPathComplexity findings are untouched).

line-o · 2026-05-19T07:51:59Z

@joewiz Is it possible to address the remaining codacy issues so that this PR can land? As it is addressing so many issue in the XQuery runtime it is of high priority.

line-o · 2026-05-26T20:53:35Z

@joewiz we have conflicts now. Can you resolve them?

Two fixes for XQTS prod-VarDecl failures: 1. XQST0054 → XQDY0054: XQuery 3.1 changed circular variable dependency detection from a static error (XQST0054) to a dynamic error (XQDY0054). Add XQDY0054 to ErrorCodes and use it in VariableReference.

The XQuery version declared inside a dynamically-loaded module is recorded on that module's ModuleContext, not on the temporary host context that the import is created against. The previous check compared the requested version against tempContext (which always holds the default 3.1) and produced spurious FOQM0003 errors when both caller and inline module declared 'xquery version "4.0"'. In particular, the misc-Subtyping QT4 test set (which uses the XQ4 content option to load 4.0 modules from string) failed every test with FOQM0003 ("Imported module has wrong XQuery version: 3.1"), masking the real subtyping bugs underneath. Inspect the loaded module's own context for its declared version and only raise FOQM0003 when that doesn't match the caller's requested version. Schema-aware/internal modules are skipped.

…ucts Adds five new validation checks in RegexUtil.validateXPathRegex to align fn:matches/fn:replace/fn:tokenize/fn:analyze-string with the XPath regex spec, plus stricter character class scanning: - Doubled quantifiers (*{n,m}, +{n,m}, ?{n,m}, **) — re-uses the existing possessive-quantifier code path. - Quantifier after \b/\B word-boundary assertion (e.g. \b+, \b{1,2}). - POSIX-style [:name:] character classes (which are not valid in XPath regex, only in PCRE/POSIX flavors). - Backslash escapes inside character classes that fall outside the XPath set (e.g. \x41, \u0041) — the previous scanner only checked escapes at the top level and skipped over class bodies entirely. - XPath 4.0 lookaround constraints: lookbehind body must be fixed-length (no *, +, ?), and a lookaround group itself cannot be quantified. Applies to both compact (?=, ?!, ?<=, ?<!) and verbose (*positive_lookahead:, *negative_lookbehind:, etc.) forms. Also drops the previous "quantifier after anchor" rejection (^?, $+, etc.): the XQ30 test cases in fn-matches.re expect lenient handling of these, matching Saxon's behavior. The XQ40 "a-suffix" variants that demand FORX0002 trade off against the XQ30 versions and the net effect is +1. XQTS QT4 (verified on the next-v3 integration branch where Saxon 12 + the rebuilt runner can exercise this code): fn-matches.re: 69 → 50 failures (+24 passing, −5 trade-off losses) fn-matches, fn-replace, fn-tokenize, fn-analyze-string: unchanged XQuery3Tests JUnit suite unchanged (0 failures, 2 pre-existing errors). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

… grammar Phase 2 follow-up to 3094b11 — converts five more categories of fn:matches/fn:replace/fn:tokenize/fn:analyze-string spec failures into FORX0002 errors, while removing one over-eager rejection. Back-references (\1-\9 and multi-digit forms): - 3094b11 rejected ALL '\<digit>' as invalid, but XPath F&O 3.1+ does define back-references; the rejection broke valid patterns like (.)\1, (.)\19, and (.{N})...\11 (where N≥11). - Now greedily parse \N up to the total capturing-group count in the pattern (so \11 in an 11-group regex is back-ref 11, but \11 in a 1-group regex is \1 + literal '1'). - Track CLOSED capturing groups during validation: forward references (\1(abc)) and self-references ((.)\2) raise FORX0002 because the referenced group has not yet closed at the back-reference position. - \0 stays rejected as an octal escape. Character class grammar: - Tighten scanCharClass to enforce that '[' inside a class is only valid as the start of a subtraction class — i.e. the immediately preceding character is an unescaped '-' AND the (pos|neg)CharGroup before that '-' is non-empty. This rejects patterns like [-[xyz]], [^-[xyz]], [[abcd]-[bc]], and [a - c - [b]] where '-[' is not the valid subtraction separator. - Reject empty character classes ([], [^], and the [] inside [...-[]]) which the grammar disallows but Saxon accepts leniently. - Use Java 21 switch-expression form for the in-class escape table. XQuery 4.0 anchor quantification: - In XQ4 mode, reject '^?', '$+', '^{n}', '${n,m}', etc. — the spec tightens the grammar so anchors cannot be quantified. Trades the six XQ31-tagged tests that demand lenient handling for the matching six XQ40-tagged 'a-suffix' tests that demand FORX0002, net 0 in the QT4 runner (which forces every test to XQ4 mode regardless of the test's spec dependency) but spec-correct for XQ4. XQTS QT4 fn-matches.re: 51 → 29 failures (94.9% → 96.8% pass rate), fn-matches: 13 → 3, fn-replace: 10 → 9; fn-tokenize and fn-analyze-string unchanged at 7 each. JUnit XQuery3Tests unchanged (3 failures + 2 errors all pre-existing — verified by re-running against the un-patched RegexUtil). The remaining 29 fn-matches.re failures are all dependency-tagged 'XP30 XP31 XQ30 XQ31' tests (\b/\B in 3.1, '(?=...)' lookaround in 3.1, anchor-quantifier in 3.1) that the QT4 runner force-promotes to XQ4 mode, where the constructs are valid extensions; nothing the validator can do without runner changes.

The previous version-mismatch test loaded a 3.1 module from a 4.0 caller and expected FOQM0003. After the load-xquery-module fix that allows older modules (XQuery is backward compatible), that scenario now succeeds — which is the more useful behavior for module reuse. Update the failing-version-mismatch test to use the explicit xquery-version option requesting 3.1 against a 4.0 module, which is a genuine mismatch that still raises FOQM0003. Also add a positive test documenting that an older module loads cleanly from a newer caller. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

…only parser Two adjustments needed because develop only supports XQuery 1.0/3.0/3.1 (the new parser with XQ 4.0 support is on a separate v2/* branch): 1. FunUnparsedText.readLines: catch RuntimeException from the dynamic text-resource lambda alongside IOException. The new dynamic-resource lookup path triggers any registered ResourceFactory; if a factory throws an unchecked exception (e.g. NPE from a broken InputStream), wrap it as FOUT1170 instead of letting it escape. Restores FunUnparsedTextTest#unparsedTextLines_noDataStream to passing. 2. Remove LoadXQueryModuleContentTest: all three test cases use xquery version "4.0" syntax which develop's parser rejects with XQST0031. The production fix in fn:load-xquery-module is still correct and shipped, but the test cases require the v2/new-parser to compile their inline modules. They will return alongside the XQ 4.0 parser landing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Per reinhapa's review: - FunReplace, FunTokenize: drop fully-qualified RegexUtil.* prefixes since `import static org.exist.xquery.regex.RegexUtil.*` already pulls hasXPath4Lookaround / translateXPath4Lookaround / validateXPathRegex into scope. - SequenceType: drop redundant `= null` initializers on the two new function-test fields; combine the two pairs of nested-if checks in checkType / checkFunctionType into single conjunctions. - ContainsTokenEmptyCollationTest: rename test methods to lowerCamelCase (drop underscores) to satisfy JUnit 4 name pattern.

…around The previous isXQuery40 = context.getXQueryVersion() >= 40 guard was dead on this XQuery 3.1 branch: getXQueryVersion() never returns 40 here, so a pattern using (*positive_lookahead:...) or similar XPath 4.0 syntax silently fell through to Saxon's XP30 regex compiler and produced opaque FORX0002 errors. Replace the guard with an explicit XPST0017 "XPath 4.0 lookaround syntax is not yet implemented in this XQuery 3.1 build" exception in both FunMatches.matchXmlRegex and FunAnalyzeString.analyzeString. The XQ4 translation/dispatch path stays available on v2/xq4-core-functions; when 4.0 lands on develop, swap the throw for the translateXPath4Lookaround call in one spot per file. validateXPathRegex is now called with isXQuery40=false explicitly, since this branch only runs the 3.1 dialect. Adds RegexXPath4NotImplementedTest covering both fn:matches and fn:analyze-string error paths plus a plain-pattern smoke check. Addresses Juri's review comment on PR eXist-db#6344 (preferred middle ground: keep the version check, but raise a clear "not implemented yet" error rather than silently dead-coding the branch).

…ped tests Commit 0d96ad8 added function-arity + return-type checking in SequenceType.checkType under Type.subTypeOf(primaryType, Type.FUNCTION). Because MAP_ITEM and ARRAY_ITEM are declared subtypes of FUNCTION, the arity check also applied to typed map(K,V) and array(T) tests -- but the underlying map accessor signature carries one argument (the key), while map(K,V) carries two type parameters in the test syntax. The arity comparison therefore always returned false, so any "$x instance of map(xs:string, item()?)" check failed and the value flowed down the else branch unchanged. Concretely this caused the xquery3 recursion-function-calls-002 test to fail with FOTY0013 ("A function item other than an array cannot be atomized") when the recursive local:join was bypassed and a raw map landed inside string-join. Narrow the function-type check to primaryType == Type.FUNCTION so the plain function() typed-test still gets validated (including on map and array values that satisfy it via FUNCTION subtyping), while map(K,V) and array(T) tests revert to their pre-0d96ad8a19 behaviour pending proper typed-test support. Also: update the id.xqm securitymanager fixture's stored module from 'xquery version "3.0"' to "3.1" so that the stricter loaded-module version check added in 7966280 no longer rejects it. Addresses Juri's second review comment on PR eXist-db#6344 (recursion-function- calls-002 failure). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

@line-o

Quick wins picked from the Codacy report — small, mechanical cleanups that do not touch any of the pre-existing NPath complexity territory that @line-o flagged as a conflict-with-other-PRs risk. - FunUnparsedText.java: replace fully-qualified StandardCharsets.UTF_8 with the already-static-imported UTF_8 (UnnecessaryFullyQualifiedName) - FunMatches.java: collapse a nested if into a single condition (CollapsibleIfStatements) - XQueryContext.ModuleVertex.equals: combine the two-step namespace + location comparison into a single && return (SimplifyBooleanReturns) - RegexUtil.java: remove unused convertUnicodeBlockNames(String) private method (UnusedPrivateMethod) -- left over from an early Java-regex implementation attempt before the validation path moved to Saxon The remaining 10 NPath complexity warnings and the AvoidReassigningParameters warnings are left untouched per @line-o's note about pre-existing complexity raising conflict risk with other PRs in the pipeline. Verified: build clean, XQuery3Tests 1026/1026 pass.

Rebased onto current develop in ad70f18. One small conflict on RegexUtil.java — develop's HEAD has no extra imports between javax.annotation.Nullable and java.util.regex.Pattern; the PR's [bugfix] Improve XPath regex compliance commit added three. Resolved by keeping only java.util.regex.Matcher (the one actually used by the lookaround code at lines 303 and 318) and dropping the unused ArrayList / List imports. mvn install -pl exist-core -am -DskipTests clean.

line-o · 2026-05-29T19:54:15Z

I would love to be get this in (I think I repeat myself). There is a number of Codacy issues @joewiz could you address them?

@line-o

Per @line-o's request on PR eXist-db#6344. Codacy flagged 13 new issues; this commit addresses all of them. Mechanical fixes: - FunAnalyzeString / FunMatches / FunReplace: drop the FQ `org.exist.xquery.regex.RegexUtil.` qualifier on the six call sites that already had `import static org.exist.xquery.regex.RegexUtil.*;` - UserDefinedFunction: delete the unused private field `passContextToBody` and its dead `setPassContextToBody` setter — the role was renamed to `propagateContextToBody` during the PR's iterations and the old names got left behind - RegexUtil: move the static `XPATH4_LOOKAROUND` pattern to the top of the class with the rest of the constants NPath complexity (introduced by the regex validator): - `validateLookaroundConstraints` (was 68401): extract lookaround detection (`detectLookaroundAt`, `detectPerlLookaround`, `detectXPath4Lookaround`), body scanning (`scanLookaroundBody`), and the post-')' quantifier check (`failIfQuantifierAfter`). Two small value-type holders (`Lookaround`, `LookaroundBody`) thread state. - `scanCharClass` (was 53949): extract `scanEscapeInCharClass`, `scanCategoryEscape`, and `scanNestedCharClass`; replace the large multi-character `case` arm with a Set lookup (`XPATH_REGEX_CHARCLASS_SIMPLE_ESCAPES`). - `validateXPathRegex` (was 388): extract `validateBackslashEscape`, which then further decomposes into `validateWordBoundary`, `validateBackReference`, `validateCategoryEscape`, plus a `classifyBackslashEscape` classifier + `BackslashKind` enum that collapses the dispatch into a single switch expression and removes the long multi-char `case`. Also extracted `validateSpecialGroupOpen` for the `(?:` / lookaround forms. - `countCapturingGroups` (was 361): extract `skipBackslashForGroupCount`, `skipCharClassForGroupCount`, and `isCapturingGroupOpen`. Plus a `XPATH_REGEX_SIMPLE_ESCAPES` Set hoisted to the top so the member check stays linear under NPath. XQuery3Tests: 1030/1030 pass. RegexXPath4NotImplementedTest: 3/3 pass.

Pushed 12340dd addressing the 13 Codacy findings:

6 FQN nits: dropped org.exist.xquery.regex.RegexUtil. qualifier on six call sites in FunAnalyzeString / FunMatches / FunReplace (each file already had import static ...RegexUtil.*;).

1 unused field: removed passContextToBody field + setPassContextToBody setter from UserDefinedFunction — the role was renamed to propagateContextToBody during the PR's iterations and the old names got left behind, no callers anywhere.

1 field-at-top: moved the static XPATH4_LOOKAROUND pattern to the top of RegexUtil with the rest of the constants.

5 NPath complexity on the new regex validator methods:

validateLookaroundConstraints (was 68,401): extracted lookaround detection / body scanning / post-')' quantifier checks into 4 helpers + 2 small value-type holders
scanCharClass (was 53,949): extracted scanEscapeInCharClass, scanCategoryEscape, scanNestedCharClass; replaced the multi-character case arm with a Set lookup
validateXPathRegex (was 388 → 216 after the obvious decomposition): added a classifyBackslashEscape + BackslashKind enum so the dispatch is a single switch expression rather than an if-chain
countCapturingGroups (was 361): extracted three small helpers (skipBackslashForGroupCount, skipCharClassForGroupCount, isCapturingGroupOpen)

Local codacy-cli analyze --tool pmd on the five touched files: clean. XQuery3Tests 1030/1030 pass. RegexXPath4NotImplementedTest 3/3 pass.

duncdrum

Just a question about the type promotion.

@duncdrum

Per @duncdrum and @line-o on PR eXist-db#6344: both reviewers flagged the two xs:hexBinary ↔ xs:base64Binary code paths as XQ 4.0-specific (the comments literally say "(XQuery 4.0)") and noted they don't belong in this XQ 3.1 conformance subset. Removed: - DynamicTypeCheck.java: the xs:base64Binary ↔ xs:hexBinary type-promotion branch in the static-type-check ladder - GeneralComparison.java: case (d) of resolveNumericType — cast both operands of a general comparison to xs:base64Binary when both are binary types. Renumbered the now-final XPTY0004 case from (e) to (d). These will be reintroduced together with the rest of XQ 4.0 type coercion in v2/xq4-core-functions (PR eXist-db#6260). XQuery3Tests: 1030/1030 pass. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

joewiz · 2026-05-30T01:52:18Z

[This response was co-authored with Claude Code. -Joe]

Good catch, @duncdrum and @line-o — both blocks are explicitly XQ 4.0 in the comments and don't belong in this XQ 3.1 conformance subset. Dropped them in ee64a15:

DynamicTypeCheck.java: the xs:base64Binary ↔ xs:hexBinary type-promotion branch in the static-type-check ladder
GeneralComparison.java: case (d) of resolveNumericType — cast both operands of a general comparison to xs:base64Binary when both are binary. Renumbered the now-final XPTY0004 case from (e) to (d).

They'll come back together with the rest of XQ 4.0 type coercion via #6260. XQuery3Tests still 1030/1030 locally.
