Re: [DFDL-WG] complex nillable ES restriction - more
by Steve Hanson 23 Jun '15

23 Jun '15

Related to this, noted that the DFDL nil properties in section 13.15 all say: Annotation: dfdl:element(simpleType) The only one that is applicable only to simple types is dfdl:useNilForDefault. Regards Steve Hanson Architect, IBM DFDL Co-Chair, OGF DFDL Working Group IBM SWG, Hursley, UK smh(a)uk.ibm.com tel:+44-1962-815848 From: Steve Hanson/UK/IBM To: Mike Beckerle <mbeckerle.dfdl(a)gmail.com> Cc: "dfdl-wg(a)ogf.org" <dfdl-wg(a)ogf.org> Date: 28/04/2015 10:15 Subject: Re: [DFDL-WG] complex nillable ES restriction - more Some more on this ... Here's the words from section 13.15 of the spec: DFDL allows elements of complex type to be nillable. However, to avoid the concept of a complex element having a value, which does not exist in DFDL, the only permissible nil value is the empty string, represented by the DFDL %ES; entity and using dfdl:nilKind 'literalValue'. Here's the original words from experience document #2 on this. Note the lengthKind 'implicit' restriction. For a complex element, length plus initiator and terminator enables the nil representation to be established (It is a schema definition error if a complex element is nillable ‘true’ and lengthKind ‘implicit’), but all other representations can only be determined by descending into the complex type for the element. If the descent returns successfully (that is, no unsuppressed processing error occurs) then the other representations may be established. So ... if you can establish the length of the complex element up front then potentially you could check against any nil literal value. Such a check would be different from that for a simple element though, as pad characters are trimmed first, and those properties do not apply to complex elements. I am not sure about lengthKind 'delimited'. With the current ES only rule, the parser can look at the next byte and if it immediately finds an in-scope delimiter, it can match ES. If any nil literal value is allowed, the parser is going to have to scan.

The rationale for this is unclear to me. Can we review what the rationale for this restriction was? Does anyone recall? We have a format where the literal nil value for the complex type wants to be "%WSP*;-%WSP*;" that is, a hyphen, but with surrounding whitespace absorbed. We can model this a different way, but the natural thing to do is to model it as suggested. (This also just happens to run on Daffodil - because we're not detecting this ad-hoc restriction - a bug) Mike Beckerle | OGF DFDL Workgroup Co-Chair | Tresys Technology | www.tresys.com Please note: Contributions to the DFDL Workgroup's email discussions are subject to the OGF Intellectual Property Policy -- dfdl-wg mailing list dfdl-wg(a)ogf.org https://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/dfdl-wg Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.

Action 280 minOccurs='0' choice branch (was: Re: OCK expression and count of 0 for a choice member....)
by Mike Beckerle 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

I believe this action item remains open still and I would like to revive the discussion. I was coding up this aspect of Daffodil and have hit this subject head on. In section 15 the spec clearly states that the root of a choice branch cannot be optional, that is cannot have minOccurs="0". That language is very specific, and it leaves open the possibility of "effectively optional" things being the roots of choice branches (e.g., using OCK 'parsed' or 'expression') It also allows one to trivially wrap a sequence (having no delimiters, alignment or skips) around an element (or element ref) carrying minOccurs="0" so as to simply dodge the restriction. It was observed in the thread below that we cannot require choice branches to be scalar elements as there is a need for hidden groups to be branches of choices, and for empty sequences carrying only asserts, as another non-element example. Related: the DFDL spec also specifies that an element that is the root of a choice branch cannot carry dfdl:inputValueCalc. The spec does NOT restrict use of dfdl:outputValueCalc on the root of a choice branch, but the meaning of such is unclear to me. The existing restriction of "no minOccurs="0" on the root of a choice branch seems not to accomplish anything. It is only for occursCountKind='implicit' where this can be meaningful it seems. Requiring the root of a choice branch to not be "variable occurrence" if it is an element would accomplish something, but it is not clear this is needed to eliminate ambiguity or if the ambiguity can be eliminated without any restriction. The stable design points I can think of are: 1) root of a choice branch must be scalar (so, only a sequence, choice, or an element where minOccurs == maxOccurs == 1.) 2) root of a choice branch cannot be optional - for a broad sense of the word optional - precludes arrays with OCK expression and parsed, and implicit if minOccurs="0". Fixed length arrays would be allowed. 3) a choice branch must have some syntax I think we discarded (3) because choice branches that really just reflect error checking - contain only dfdl:asserts for example - are in use and serve a useful purpose. Daffodil's test suite has much use of choice branches that look like this: <choicie> ..... <sequence> <element name="foo" dfdl:inputValueCalc="{....}"/> </sequence> </choice> These have no syntax. This allowing a kind of default-element to be computed. In most (could be all, I've not searched exhaustively) of these cases the IVC expression is a constant. But note that the sequence wrapped around the IVC element is just dodging the restriction that a choice branch cannot be an IVC element (which is another restriction that seems unnecessary.) ...mike Mike Beckerle | OGF DFDL Workgroup Co-Chair | Tresys Technology | www.tresys.com Please note: Contributions to the DFDL Workgroup's email discussions are subject to the OGF Intellectual Property Policy <http://www.ogf.org/About/abt_policies.php> On Mon, Apr 27, 2015 at 9:30 AM, Steve Hanson <smh(a)uk.ibm.com> wrote: > Mike > > A couple of comments: > > 1) You said below > > *Optional here means "not required by the DFDL format", as in > occursCountKind cannot be 'parsed' at all, because all occurrences are then > not required, and the min/maxOccurs are only examined for validation > purposes, also occursCountKind cannot be 'implicit' for the same reasons**, > and occursCountKind 'expression' also. * > > OccursCountKind 'implicit' is allowed, because minOccurs is used for > parsing and micOccurs can not be 0. > > 2) You said below > > *Wrapping the array element in a sequence doesn't solve the problem unless > the sequence has a required piece of syntax such as an initiator or > terminator, or a hiddenGroupRef to a not-optional (recursively) thing.* > > A sequence has minOccurs '1' so it does satisfy the spec rule about the > child of a choice being required.
