Possible + values for this option are <code><b>knr</b></code> (default), + <code><b>ucc</b></code>, and <code><b>java</b></code>. The + <code><b>knr</b></code> value (stands for K&R) signifies + the standard, lower-case naming convention with the underscore + used as a word delimiter, for example: <code>foo</code>, + <code>foo_bar</code>. The <code><b>ucc</b></code> (stands + for upper-camel-case) and + <code><b>java</b></code> values a synonyms for the same + naming convention where the first letter of each word in the + name is capitalized, for example: <code>Foo</code>, + <code>FooBar</code>.</p> + + <p>Similarly, the <code><b>--function-naming</b></code> option + specifies the convention that should be used for naming C++ + functions. Possible values for this option are <code><b>knr</b></code> + (default), <code><b>lcc</b></code>, and <code><b>java</b></code>. The + <code><b>knr</b></code> value (stands for K&R) signifies + the standard, lower-case naming convention with the underscore + used as a word delimiter, for example: <code>foo()</code>, + <code>foo_bar()</code>. The <code><b>lcc</b></code> value + (stands for lower-camel-case) signifies a naming convention + where the first letter of each word except the first is + capitalized, for example: <code>foo()</code>, <code>fooBar()</code>. + The <code><b>java</b></code> naming convention is similar to + the lower-camel-case one except that accessor functions are prefixed + with <code>get</code>, modifier functions are prefixed + with <code>set</code>, parsing functions are prefixed + with <code>parse</code>, and serialization functions are + prefixed with <code>serialize</code>, for example: + <code>getFoo()</code>, <code>setFooBar()</code>, + <code>parseRoot()</code>, <code>serializeRoot()</code>.</p> + + <p>Note that the naming conventions specified with the + <code><b>--type-naming</b></code> and + <code><b>--function-naming</b></code> options perform only limited + transformations on the names that come from the schema in the + form of type, attribute, and element names. In other words, to + get consistent results, your schemas should follow a similar + naming convention as the one you would like to have in the + generated code. Alternatively, you can use the + <code><b>--*-regex</b></code> options (discussed below) + to perform further transformations on the names that come from + the schema.</p> + + <p>The + <code><b>--type-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--accessor-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--one-accessor-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--opt-accessor-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--seq-accessor-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--modifier-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--one-modifier-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--opt-modifier-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--seq-modifier-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--parser-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--serializer-regex</b></code>, + <code><b>--enumerator-regex</b></code>, and + <code><b>--element-type-regex</b></code> options allow you to + specify extra regular expressions for each name category in + addition to the predefined set that is added depending on + the <code><b>--type-naming</b></code> and + <code><b>--function-naming</b></code> options. Expressions + that are provided with the <code><b>--*-regex</b></code> + options are evaluated prior to any predefined expressions. + This allows you to selectively override some or all of the + predefined transformations. When debugging your own expressions, + it is often useful to see which expressions match which names. + The <code><b>--name-regex-trace</b></code> option allows you + to trace the process of applying regular expressions to + names.</p> + + <p>The value for the <code><b>--*-regex</b></code> options should be + a perl-like regular expression in the form + <code><b>/</b><i>pattern</i><b>/</b><i>replacement</i><b>/</b></code>. + Any character can be used as a delimiter instead of <code><b>/</b></code>. + Escaping of the delimiter character in <code><i>pattern</i></code> or + <code><i>replacement</i></code> is not supported. + All regular expressions for each category are pushed into a + category-specific stack with the last specified expression + considered first.

For example, if you + use <code><b>" "</b></code> for quoting you will get a + wrong result with POSIX shells if your expression contains + <code><b>$</b></code>. The standard way of dealing with this + on POSIX systems is to use <code><b>' '</b></code> instead. + Unfortunately, Windows shell does not remove <code><b>' '</b></code> + from arguments when they are passed to applications. As a result you + may have to use <code><b>' '</b></code> for POSIX and + <code><b>" "</b></code> for Windows (<code><b>$</b></code> is + not treated as a special character on Windows).</p> + + <p>Alternatively, you can save regular expression options into + a file, one option per line, and use this file with the + <code><b>--options-file</b></code> option. With this approach + you don't need to worry about shell quoting.</p> + + <h1>DIAGNOSTICS</h1> + + <p>If the input file is not a valid W3C XML Schema definition, + <code><b>xsd</b></code> will issue diagnostic messages to STDERR + and exit with non-zero exit code.</p> + + <h1>BUGS</h1> + + <p>Send bug reports to the + <a href="mailto:xsd-users@codesynthesis.com">xsd-users@codesynthesis.com</a> mailing list.</p> + + </div> + <div id="footer"> + ©2005-2009 <a href="http://codesynthesis.com">CODE SYNTHESIS TOOLS CC</a> + + <div id="terms"> + Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this + document under the terms of the + <a href="http://codesynthesis.com/licenses/fdl-1.2.txt">GNU Free + Documentation License, version 1.2</a>; with no Invariant Sections, + no Front-Cover Texts and no Back-Cover Texts. + </div> + </div> +</div> +</body> +</html> |
