- <h1>NAME</h1>
-
- <p>xsd - W3C XML Schema to C++ Compiler</p>
-
- <h1>SYNOPSIS</h1>
-
- <dl id="synopsis">
- <dt><code><b>xsd</b> <i>command</i> [<i>options</i>] <i>file</i> [<i>file</i> ...]</code></dt>
- <dt><code><b>xsd help</b> [<i>command</i>]</code></dt>
- <dt><code><b>xsd version</b></code></dt>
- </dl>
-
- <h1>DESCRIPTION</h1>
-
- <p><code><b>xsd</b></code> generates vocabulary-specific, statically-typed
- C++ mapping from W3C XML Schema definitions. Particular mapping to
- produce is selected by a <code><i>command</i></code>. Each mapping has
- a number of mapping-specific <code><i>options</i></code> that should
- appear, if any, after the <code><i>command</i></code>. Input files should
- be W3C XML Schema definitions. The exact set of the generated files depends
- on the selected mapping and options.</p>
-
- <h1>COMMANDS</h1>
-
- <dl id="commands">
- <dt><code><b>cxx-tree</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Generate the C++/Tree mapping. For each input file in the form
- <code><b>name.xsd</b></code> the following C++ files are generated:
- <code><b>name.hxx</b></code> (header file),
- <code><b>name.ixx</b></code> (inline file, generated only if the
- <code><b>--generate-inline</b></code> option is specified),
- <code><b>name.cxx</b></code> (source file), and
- <code><b>name-fwd.hxx</b></code> (forward declaration file, generated
- only if the <code><b>--generate-forward</b></code> option is
- specified).</dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>cxx-parser</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Generate the C++/Parser mapping. For each input file in the form
- <code><b>name.xsd</b></code> the following C++ files are generated:
- <code><b>name-pskel.hxx</b></code> (parser skeleton header file),
- <code><b>name-pskel.ixx</b></code> (parser skeleton inline file,
- generated only if the <code><b>--generate-inline</b></code>
- option is specified), and
- <code><b>name-pskel.cxx</b></code> (parser skeleton source file).
- If the <code><b>--generate-noop-impl</b></code> or
- <code><b>--generate-print-impl</b></code> option is specified,
- the following additional sample implementation files are generated:
- <code><b>name-pimpl.hxx</b></code> (parser implementation header
- file) and
- <code><b>name-pimpl.cxx</b></code> (parser implementation source
- file). If the <code><b>--generate-test-driver</b></code> option
- is specified, the additional <code><b>name-driver.cxx</b></code>
- test driver file is generated.</dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>help</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Print usage information and exit. Use
- <p><code><b>xsd help</b> <i>command</i></code></p>
- for command-specific help.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>version</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Print version and exit.</dd>
- </dl>
-
- <h1>OPTIONS</h1>
-
- <p>Command-specific <code><i>options</i></code>, if any, should appear
- after the corresponding <code><i>command</i></code>.</p>
-
- <h2>COMMON OPTIONS</h2>
-
- <dl class="options">
- <dt><code><b>--char-type</b> <i>type</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Generate code using the provided character <code><i>type</i></code>
- instead of the default <code><b>char</b></code>. Valid values
- are <code><b>char</b></code> and <code><b>wchar_t</b></code>.</dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--char-encoding</b> <i>enc</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Specify the character encoding that should be used in the generated
- code. Valid values for the <code><b>char</b></code> character type
- are <code><b>utf8</b></code> (default), <code><b>iso8859-1</b></code>,
- <code><b>lcp</b></code> (Xerces-C++ local code page), and
- <code><b>custom</b></code>. If you pass <code><b>custom</b></code> as
- the value then you will need to include the transcoder implementation
- header for your encoding at the beginning of the generated header
- files (see the <code><b>--hxx-prologue</b></code> option).
-
- <p>For the <code><b>wchar_t</b></code> character type the only valid
- value is <code><b>auto</b></code> and the encoding is automatically
- selected between UTF-16 and UTF-32/UCS-4, depending on the
- <code><b>wchar_t</b></code> type size.</p></dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--output-dir</b> <i>dir</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Write generated files to <code><i>dir</i></code> instead of
- the current directory.</dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--namespace-map</b> <i>xns</i><b>=</b><i>cns</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Map XML Schema namespace <i>xns</i> to C++ namespace <i>cns</i>.
- Repeat this option to specify mapping for more than one XML Schema
- namespace. For example, the following option:
-
- <p><code><b>--namespace-map http://example.com/foo/bar=foo::bar</b></code></p>
-
- <p>will map the <code><b>http://example.com/foo/bar</b></code>
- XML Schema namespace to the <code><b>foo::bar</b></code> C++
- namespace.</p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--namespace-regex</b> <i>regex</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Add <code><i>regex</i></code> to the list of regular expressions
- used to translate XML Schema namespace names to C++ namespace
- names. <code><i>regex</i></code> is 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.
-
- <p>All the regular expressions are pushed into a stack with the last
- specified expression considered first. The first match that
- succeeds is used. Regular expressions are applied to a string
- in the form</p>
-
- <p><code><i>filename</i> <i>namespace</i></code></p>
-
- <p>For example, if you have file <code><b>hello.xsd</b></code>
- with namespace <code><b>http://example.com/hello</b></code> and you run
- <code><b>xsd</b></code> on this file, then the string in question
- will be:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>hello.xsd. http://example.com/hello</b></code></p>
-
- <p>For the built-in XML Schema namespace the string is:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>XMLSchema.xsd http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema</b></code></p>
-
- <p>The following three steps are performed for each regular expression
- until the match is found:</p>
-
- <ol>
- <li>The expression is applied and if the result is empty the
- next expression is considered.</li>
-
- <li>All <code><b>/</b></code> are replaced with
- <code><b>::</b></code>.</li>
-
- <li>The result is verified to be a valid C++ scope name (e.g.,
- <code><b>foo::bar</b></code>). If this test succeeds, the
- result is used as a C++ namespace name.</li>
- </ol>
-
- <p>As an example, the following expression maps XML Schema
- namespaces in the form
- <code><b>http://example.com/foo/bar</b></code> to C++
- namespaces in the form <code><b>foo::bar</b></code>:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>%.* http://example.com/(.+)%$1%</b></code></p>
-
- <p>See also the REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING section below.</p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--namespace-regex-trace</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Trace the process of applying regular expressions specified with
- the <code><b>--namespace-regex</b></code> option. Use this option
- to find out why your regular expressions don't do what you expected
- them to do.
- </dd>
-
- <!-- Reserved names -->
-
- <dt><code><b>--reserved-name</b> <i>name</i>[<b>=</b><i>rep</i>]</code></dt>
- <dd>Add <code><i>name</i></code> to the list of names that should not
- be used as identifiers. The name can optionally be followed by
- <code><b>=</b></code> and the replacement name that should be
- used instead. All the C++ keywords are already in this list.
- </dd>
-
- <!-- Include -->
-
- <dt><code><b>--include-with-brackets</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Use angle brackets (&lt;&gt;) instead of quotes ("") in
- generated <code><b>#include</b></code> directives.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--include-prefix</b> <i>prefix</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Add <code><i>prefix</i></code> to generated <code><b>#include</b></code>
- directive paths.
-
- <p>For example, if you had the following import element in your
- schema</p>
-
- <p><code><b>&lt;import namespace="..." schemaLocation="base.xsd"/&gt;</b></code></p>
-
- <p>and compiled this fragment with <code><b>--include-prefix schemas/</b></code>,
- then the include directive in the generated code would be:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>#include "schemas/base.hxx"</b></code></p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--include-regex</b> <i>regex</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Add <code><i>regex</i></code> to the list of regular expressions
- used to transform <code><b>#include</b></code> directive paths.
- <code><i>regex</i></code> is 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.
-
- <p>All the regular expressions are pushed into a stack with the last
- specified expression considered first. The first match that
- succeeds is used.</p>
-
- <p>As an example, the following expression transforms paths
- in the form <code><b>schemas/foo/bar</b></code> to paths
- in the form <code><b>generated/foo/bar</b></code>:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>%schemas/(.+)%generated/$1%</b></code></p>
-
- <p>See also the REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING section below.</p>
- </dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--include-regex-trace</b></code></dt>

- them to do.
- </dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--guard-prefix</b> <i>prefix</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Add <code><i>prefix</i></code> to generated header inclusion guards.
- The prefix is transformed to upper case and characters that are
- illegal in a preprocessor macro name are replaced with underscores.
- If this option is not specified then the directory part of the
- input schema file is used as a prefix.
- </dd>
-
- <!-- Suffixes. -->
-
- <dt><code><b>--hxx-suffix</b> <i>suffix</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Use the provided <code><i>suffix</i></code> instead of the default
- <code><b>.hxx</b></code> to construct the name of the header file.

- are using a custom character encoding and some of the strings
- in your schemas, for example element/attribute names or enumeration
- values, contain non-ASCII characters. In this case you will need
- to provide a custom mapping to C++ literals for such

- </dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--export-maps</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Export polymorphism support maps from a Win32 DLL into which this
- generated code is linked. This is necessary when your type hierarchy
- is split across several DLLs since otherwise each DLL will have its
- own set of maps. In this situation the generated code for the DLL
- which contains base types and/or substitution group heads should be
- compiled with this option and the generated code for all other

-
- <dt><code><b>--options-file</b> <i>file</i></code></dt>
- <dd>Read additional options from <code><i>file</i></code>. Each option
- should appear on a separate line optionally followed by space and
- an argument. Empty lines and lines starting with <code><b>#</b></code>
- are ignored. The semantics of providing options in a
- file is equivalent to providing the same set of options in
- the same order in the command line at the point where the
- <code><b>--options-file</b></code> option is specified
- except that shell escaping and quoting is not required.
- Repeat this option to specify more than one options files.

- <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.
-
- <p>All the regular expressions are pushed into a stack with the last

- <dd>Add <code><i>regex</i></code> to the list of regular expressions
- used to translate schema file names when the

- <code><i>regex</i></code> is 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 the regular
- expressions are pushed into a stack with the last specified
- expression considered first. The first match that succeeds is used.
- Regular expressions are applied to the absolute filesystem path
- of a schema file and the result, including the directory part,
- if any, is used to derive the <code><b>#include</b></code> directive
- paths as well as the generated C++ file paths. This option, along
- with <code><b>--type-file-regex</b></code> are primarily used to
- place the generated files into subdirectories or to resolve file
- name conflicts.
-
- <p>For example, the following expression maps schema files in the
- <code><b>foo/1.0.0/</b></code> subdirectory to the files in
- the <code><b>foo/</b></code> subdirectory. As a result, the
- <code><b>#include</b></code> directive paths for such schemas
- will be in the <code><b>foo/schema.hxx</b></code> form and
- the generated C++ files will be placed into the
- <code><b>foo/</b></code> subdirectory:</p>

- not using substitution groups or if substitution groups are defined
- in another schema. You need to specify this option when compiling
- every schema file that references <code><i>type</i></code>. The

- within the same tree or between different trees.</dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--generate-wildcard</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Generate accessors and modifiers as well as parsing and serialization
- code for XML Schema wildcards (<code><b>any</b></code> and

- option to generate this header file.</dd>
-
- <dt><code><b>--suppress-parsing</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Suppress the generation of the parsing functions and constructors.
- Use this option to reduce the generated code size when parsing
- from XML is not needed.</dd>
-

-
- <dt><code><b>--generate-intellisense</b></code></dt>
- <dd>Generate workarounds for IntelliSense bugs in Visual Studio
- 2005 (8.0). When this option is used, the resulting code is

- <h1>NAMING CONVENTION</h1>
-
- <p>The compiler can be instructed to use a particular naming
- convention in the generated code. A number of widely-used
- conventions can be selected using the <code><b>--type-naming</b></code>
- and <code><b>--function-naming</b></code> options. A custom
- naming convention can be achieved using 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.
- </p>
-
- <p>The <code><b>--type-naming</b></code> option specifies the
- convention that should be used for naming C++ types. 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&amp;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&amp;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 the regular expressions for each category are pushed into a
- category-specific stack with the last specified expression
- considered first. The first match that succeeds is used. For the
- <code><b>--one-accessor-regex</b></code> (accessors with cardinality one),
- <code><b>--opt-accessor-regex</b></code> (accessors with cardinality optional), and
- <code><b>--seq-accessor-regex</b></code> (accessors with cardinality sequence)
- categories the <code><b>--accessor-regex</b></code> expressions are
- used as a fallback. For the
- <code><b>--one-modifier-regex</b></code>,
- <code><b>--opt-modifier-regex</b></code>, and
- <code><b>--seq-modifier-regex</b></code>
- categories the <code><b>--modifier-regex</b></code> expressions are
- used as a fallback. For the <code><b>--element-type-regex</b></code>
- category the <code><b>--type-regex</b></code> expressions are
- used as a fallback.</p>
-
- <p>The type name expressions (<code><b>--type-regex</b></code>)
- are evaluated on the name string that has the following
- format:</p>
-
- <p><code>[<i>namespace</i> ]<i>name</i>[,<i>name</i>][,<i>name</i>][,<i>name</i>]</code></p>
-
- <p>The element type name expressions
- (<code><b>--element-type-regex</b></code>), effective only when
- the <code><b>--generate-element-type</b></code> option is specified,
- are evaluated on the name string that has the following
- format:</p>
-
- <p><code><i>namespace</i> <i>name</i></code></p>
-
- <p>In the type name format the <code><i>namespace</i></code> part
- followed by a space is only present for global type names. For
- global types and elements defined in schemas without a target
- namespace, the <code><i>namespace</i></code> part is empty but
- the space is still present. In the type name format after the
- initial <code><i>name</i></code> component, up to three additional
- <code><i>name</i></code> components can be present, separated
- by commas. For example:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>http://example.com/hello type</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>foo</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>foo,iterator</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>foo,const,iterator</b></code></p>
-
- <p>The following set of predefined regular expressions is used to
- transform type names when the upper-camel-case naming convention
- is selected:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>/(?:[^ ]* )?([^,]+)/\u$1/</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>/(?:[^ ]* )?([^,]+),([^,]+)/\u$1\u$2/</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>/(?:[^ ]* )?([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+)/\u$1\u$2\u$3/</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>/(?:[^ ]* )?([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+)/\u$1\u$2\u$3\u$4/</b></code></p>
-
- <p>The accessor and modifier expressions
- (<code><b>--*accessor-regex</b></code> and
- <code><b>--*modifier-regex</b></code>) are evaluated on the name string
- that has the following format:</p>
-
- <p><code><i>name</i>[,<i>name</i>][,<i>name</i>]</code></p>
-
- <p>After the initial <code><i>name</i></code> component, up to two
- additional <code><i>name</i></code> components can be present,
- separated by commas. For example:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>foo</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>dom,document</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>foo,default,value</b></code></p>
-
- <p>The following set of predefined regular expressions is used to
- transform accessor names when the <code><b>java</b></code> naming
- convention is selected:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>/([^,]+)/get\u$1/</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>/([^,]+),([^,]+)/get\u$1\u$2/</b></code></p>
- <p><code><b>/([^,]+),([^,]+),([^,]+)/get\u$1\u$2\u$3/</b></code></p>
-
- <p>For the parser, serializer, and enumerator categories, the
- corresponding regular expressions are evaluated on local names of
- elements and on enumeration values, respectively. For example, the
- following predefined regular expression is used to transform parsing
- function names when the <code><b>java</b></code> naming convention
- is selected:</p>
-
- <p><code><b>/(.+)/parse\u$1/</b></code></p>
-
- <p>See also the REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING section below.</p>
-
- <h1>TYPE MAP</h1>
-
- <p>Type map files are used in C++/Parser to define a mapping between
- XML Schema and C++ types. The compiler uses this information
- to determine the return types of <code><b>post_*</b></code>
- functions in parser skeletons corresponding to XML Schema
- types as well as argument types for callbacks corresponding
- to elements and attributes of these types.</p>
-
- <p>The compiler has a set of predefined mapping rules that map
- built-in XML Schema types to suitable C++ types (discussed
- below) and all other types to <code><b>void</b></code>.
- By providing your own type maps you can override these predefined
- rules. The format of the type map file is presented below:
- </p>
-
- <pre>
-namespace &lt;schema-namespace> [&lt;cxx-namespace>]
-{
- (include &lt;file-name>;)*
- ([type] &lt;schema-type> &lt;cxx-ret-type> [&lt;cxx-arg-type>];)*
-}
- </pre>
-
- <p>Both <code><i>&lt;schema-namespace></i></code> and
- <code><i>&lt;schema-type></i></code> are regex patterns while
- <code><i>&lt;cxx-namespace></i></code>,
- <code><i>&lt;cxx-ret-type></i></code>, and
- <code><i>&lt;cxx-arg-type></i></code> are regex pattern
- substitutions. All names can be optionally enclosed in
- <code><b>" "</b></code>, for example, to include white-spaces.</p>
-
- <p><code><i>&lt;schema-namespace></i></code> determines XML
- Schema namespace. Optional <code><i>&lt;cxx-namespace></i></code>
- is prefixed to every C++ type name in this namespace declaration.
- <code><i>&lt;cxx-ret-type></i></code> is a C++ type name that is
- used as a return type for the <code><b>post_*</b></code> functions.
- Optional <code><i>&lt;cxx-arg-type></i></code> is an argument
- type for callback functions corresponding to elements and attributes
- of this type. If
- <code><i>&lt;cxx-arg-type></i></code> is not specified, it defaults
- to <code><i>&lt;cxx-ret-type></i></code> if <code><i>&lt;cxx-ret-type></i></code>
- ends with <code><b>*</b></code> or <code><b>&amp;</b></code> (that is,
- it is a pointer or a reference) and
- <code><b>const</b>&nbsp;<i>&lt;cxx-ret-type></i><b>&amp;</b></code>
- otherwise.
- <code><i>&lt;file-name></i></code> is a file name either in the
- <code><b>" "</b></code> or <code><b>&lt; ></b></code> format
- and is added with the <code><b>#include</b></code> directive to
- the generated code.</p>
-
- <p>The <code><b>#</b></code> character starts a comment that ends
- with a new line or end of file. To specify a name that contains
- <code><b>#</b></code> enclose it in <code><b>" "</b></code>.
- For example:</p>
-
- <pre>
-namespace http://www.example.com/xmlns/my my
-{
- include "my.hxx";
-
- # Pass apples by value.
- #
- apple apple;
-
- # Pass oranges as pointers.
- #
- orange orange_t*;
-}
- </pre>
-
- <p>In the example above, for the
- <code><b>http://www.example.com/xmlns/my#orange</b></code>
- XML Schema type, the <code><b>my::orange_t*</b></code> C++ type will
- be used as both return and argument types.</p>
-
- <p>Several namespace declarations can be specified in a single
- file. The namespace declaration can also be completely
- omitted to map types in a schema without a namespace. For
- instance:</p>
-
- <pre>
-include "my.hxx";
-apple apple;
-
-namespace http://www.example.com/xmlns/my
-{
- orange "const orange_t*";
-}
- </pre>
-
- <p>The compiler has a number of predefined mapping rules that can be
- presented as the following map files. The string-based XML Schema
- built-in types are mapped to either <code><b>std::string</b></code>
- or <code><b>std::wstring</b></code> depending on the character type
- selected with the <code><b>--char-type</b></code> option
- (<code><b>char</b></code> by default).</p>
-
- <pre>
-namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
-{
- boolean bool bool;
-
- byte "signed char" "signed char";
- unsignedByte "unsigned char" "unsigned char";
-
- short short short;
- unsignedShort "unsigned short" "unsigned short";
-
- int int int;
- unsignedInt "unsigned int" "unsigned int";
-
- long "long long" "long long";
- unsignedLong "unsigned long long" "unsigned long long";
-
- integer "long long" "long long";
-
- negativeInteger "long long" "long long";
- nonPositiveInteger "long long" "long long";
-
- positiveInteger "unsigned long long" "unsigned long long";
- nonNegativeInteger "unsigned long long" "unsigned long long";
-
- float float float;
- double double double;
- decimal double double;
-
- string std::string;
- normalizedString std::string;
- token std::string;
- Name std::string;
- NMTOKEN std::string;
- NCName std::string;
- ID std::string;
- IDREF std::string;
- language std::string;
- anyURI std::string;
-
- NMTOKENS xml_schema::string_sequence;
- IDREFS xml_schema::string_sequence;
-
- QName xml_schema::qname;
-
- base64Binary std::auto_ptr&lt;xml_schema::buffer>
- std::auto_ptr&lt;xml_schema::buffer>;
- hexBinary std::auto_ptr&lt;xml_schema::buffer>
- std::auto_ptr&lt;xml_schema::buffer>;
-
- date xml_schema::date;
- dateTime xml_schema::date_time;
- duration xml_schema::duration;
- gDay xml_schema::gday;
- gMonth xml_schema::gmonth;
- gMonthDay xml_schema::gmonth_day;
- gYear xml_schema::gyear;
- gYearMonth xml_schema::gyear_month;
- time xml_schema::time;
-}
- </pre>
-
- <p>The last predefined rule maps anything that wasn't mapped by
- previous rules to <code><b>void</b></code>:</p>
-
- <pre>
-namespace .*
-{
- .* void void;
-}
- </pre>
-
-
- <p>When you provide your own type maps with the
- <code><b>--type-map</b></code> option, they are evaluated first.
- This allows you to selectively override predefined rules.</p>
-
- <h1>REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING</h1>
-
- <p>When entering a regular expression argument in the shell
- command line it is often necessary to use quoting (enclosing
- the argument in <code><b>"&nbsp;"</b></code> or
- <code><b>'&nbsp;'</b></code>) in order to prevent the shell
- from interpreting certain characters, for example, spaces as
- argument separators and <code><b>$</b></code> as variable
- expansions.</p>
-
- <p>Unfortunately it is hard to achieve this in a manner that is
- portable across POSIX shells, such as those found on
- GNU/Linux and UNIX, and Windows shell. For example, if you
- use <code><b>"&nbsp;"</b></code> for quoting you will get a
- wrong result with POSIX shells if your expression contains
- <code><b>$</b></code>. The standard way of dealing with this
- on POSIX systems is to use <code><b>'&nbsp;'</b></code> instead.
- Unfortunately, Windows shell does not remove <code><b>'&nbsp;'</b></code>
- from arguments when they are passed to applications. As a result you
- may have to use <code><b>'&nbsp;'</b></code> for POSIX and
- <code><b>"&nbsp;"</b></code> for Windows (<code><b>$</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>
