This expression could be used to get all elements that _don't_ have any
namespace. The problem is that this can't be expressed as just a node test,
instead the resulting XPath would have to look something like the following:
X[local-name() = name()]
However, since the XPath predicates are already created for pseudo classes and
such, also injecting the above into it would be a real big pain. As such I've
decided not to support it.
Instead of using "descendant-or-self" Oga will use "descendant". This ensures
that expressions such as "foo *" don't return a set also including the "foo"
element.
Nokogiri solves this problem in a somewhat different way by using //foo//* for
the CSS expression "foo *". While this works in Nokogiri the expression
"descendant-or-self::node()" is slow as a snail in Oga (due to its nature of
retrieving _all_ nodes first). By using "descendant" we can work around this
problem.
When running XPath queries such as "self::node()" the result should be a set
containing the document itself. This in turn fixes expressions such as
descendant-or-self::node()/a.
These currently fail due to the child:: selector not working entirely as it
should be. Consider the following XML:
<a><b><b><c class="x"></c></b></b></a>
And the following XPath:
descendant-or-self::node()/a
In Nokogiri/libxml this will return a node set containing the <a> node. In Oga
however this will return an empty node set. This will require some further
investigation to see what exactly is going on, and in particular what is the
correct behaviour.
The formula A - (B % A) always has to be used, it can't be omitted when B is
negative. Doing so would result in invalid selectors for 2n-6 and the likes.
This removes parsing support for selectors such as :nth-child(-n-6). According
to the CSS spec this isn't valid anyway (confirmed by testing it in Chromium).
As a result there's no point in supporting it in any way.
When lexing multi-line strings everything used to work fine as long as the input
were to be read as a whole. However, when using an IO instance all hell would
break loose. Due to the lexer reading IO instances on a per line basis,
sometimes Ragel would end up setting "ts" to NULL. For example, the following
input would break the lexer:
<foo class="\nbar" />
Due to the input being read per line, the following data would be sent to the
lexer:
<foo class="\n
bar" />
This would result in different (or NULL) pointers being used for building a
string, in turn resulting in memory allocation errors.
To work around this the string lexing setup has been broken into separate
machines for single and double quoted strings. The tokens used have also been
changed so that instead of just "T_STRING" there are now the following tokens:
* T_STRING_SQUOTE
* T_STRING_DQUOTE
* T_STRING_BODY
A string can have multiple T_STRING_BODY tokens (= multi-line strings, only the
case for IO inputs). These strings are stitched back together by the parser.
This fixes#58.
Instead of storing "act" and "cs" as an instance variable they (along with some
other variables) are now stored in a struct. This struct is attached to a lexer
instance using the (crappy) Data_Get_Struct/Data_Wrap_Struct API.
Processing of this axis along with a predicate wouldn't quite work out. Even if
the predicate returned false the node would still be matched (which should not
be the case).
