iXML Community Group Test Suite

23 Oct 2023 (22 Nov 2023)

Top-level catalog for tests in the iXML Community Group Test Suite.

Tests have been contributed from several sources, but the core of the test collection are the tests contributed by Steven Pemberton in December 2021.

Misc tests 2

28 Jun 2022

Grammars 21-40.

Test grammars compiled manually in 2018 and 2019, re-packaged in 2022.

Added test cases where needed and moved to ixml test collection, June 2022.

sample.grammar.31

Created 08 Feb 2022 by cmsmcq

An attempt to isolate the bug caused by the initial version of sample.grammar.03 (toy CSS grammar).

(Like 30, but the two branches are not identical.

Invisible XML Grammar


	name: ["a"-"z"]; ["a"-"z";"A"-"Z"].

Test case: g31.c01

Repository URI: …/tests/misc/misc-021-040-catalog.xml

Input string (1 character)

This test case illustrates another way different processors will differ in detection of ambiguity. (Cf. test set sample.grammar.g30.) Formalists define production rules as sequences of terminal symbols, and define terminals as primitive symbols, not complex structures like character sets. Formally the grammar given is just an shorter way of writing the grammar "name = 'a';'b'; ... ;'z';'A'; ... ;'Z'. The appearance of having two distinct right-hand sides is only an illusion: formally, the rule has 52 right-hand sides, each a sequence containing one basic symbol.

The same two analyses apply as for sample.grammar.30: the sentence is unambiguous, because there is only one parse tree, or the sentence is ambiguous because we use either the first or the second character set.

The spec allows variation, so the test suite does not take sides.
