This ensures that Oga can lex the following properly:
<input value="" />
Previously Ragel would stop upon finding the empty string. This was caused due
to the string rules being declared as following:
string_dquote = (dquote ^dquote+ dquote);
string_squote = (squote ^squote+ squote);
These rules only match strings _with_ content, not without. Since Ragel stops
consuming input the moment it finds unhandled data this resulted in incorrect
tokens being emitted.
Previously this wouldn't display anything due to the IO object being exhausted.
To fix this the input has to be wound back to the start, which means re-reading
it. Sadly I can't think of a way around this that doesn't require buffering
lines while parsing them (which massively increases memory usage).
This ensures the current context node is set correctly when using the "self"
axis inside a path that's inside a predicate, e.g.
foo/bar[baz/. = "something"]
Here the "self" axis should refer to foo/bar/baz, _not_ foo/bar.
Thanks to some heavy rubberducking with @whitequark the lexer is now a little
bit better at lexing T_TEXT nodes. For example, previously the following could
not be lexed properly:
"foo < bar"
There might still be some tweaking to do but we're getting there.
Using create_makefile('liboga/liboga') will compile liboga.so into
path-to-gem/lib/liboga/ and therefore require_relative in oga.rb will fail.
Therefore the right parameter for create_makefile is 'liboga' ->
path-to-gem/lib/liboga.so
The XPath number() function should also be capable of converting booleans to
numbers, something it previously was not able to do. In order to do this
reliably we can't rely on the string() function as this would make it impossible
to distinguish between literal string values and booleans. This is due to
true(), which returns a TrueClass, being converted to the string "true". This
string in turn can't be converted to a float.
