.SH DESCRIPTION
.\"--------------------------------------------------------------------
.B xsde
generates vocabulary-specific, statically-typed C++ mapping from W3C XML
Schema definitions. Particular mapping to produce is selected by a
.IR command .
Each mapping has a number of mapping-specific
.I options
that should appear, if any, after the
.IR command .
Input files should be W3C XML Schema definitions. The exact set of the
generated files depends on the selected mapping and options.

.IP \fBcxx-hybrid\fR
Generate the Embedded C++/Hybrid mapping. For each input file in the
form
.B name.xsd
the following C++ files are generated:
.B name.hxx
(object model header file),
.B name.ixx
(object model inline file, generated only if the
.B --generate-inline
option is specified),
.B name.cxx
(object model source file), and
.B name-fwd.hxx
(object model forward declaration file, generated only if the
.B --generate-forward
option is specified).
If the
.B --generate-parser
option is specified, the Embedded C++/Parser mapping is invoked and the
.BR name-pskel.hxx ,
.BR name-pskel.ixx ,
and
.B name-pskel.cxx
parser skeleton files are generated, as described below. Additionally,
the following parser implementation files are generated:
.B name-pimpl.hxx
(parser implementation header file) and
.B name-pimpl.cxx
(parser implementation source file).
If the
.B --generate-serializer
option is specified, the Embedded C++/Serializer mapping is invoked and the
.BR name-sskel.hxx ,
.BR name-sskel.ixx ,
and
.B name-sskel.cxx
serializer skeleton files are generated, as described below. Additionally,
the following serializer implementation files are generated:
.B name-simpl.hxx
(serializer implementation header file) and
.B name-simpl.cxx
(serializer implementation source file).
.IP \fBcxx-parser\fR
Generate the Embedded C++/Parser mapping. For each input file in the form
.B name.xsd
the following C++ files are generated:
.B name-pskel.hxx
(parser skeleton header file),
.B name-pskel.ixx
(parser skeleton inline file, generated only if the
.B --generate-inline
option is specified), and
.B name-pskel.cxx
(parser skeleton source file). If the
.B --generate-noop-impl
or
.B --generate-print-impl
option is specified, the following additional sample implementation files
are generated:
.B name-pimpl.hxx
(parser implementation header file) and
.B name-pimpl.cxx
(parser implementation source file). If the
.B --generate-test-driver
option is specified, the additional
.B name-pdriver.cxx
test driver file is generated.
.IP \fBcxx-parser\fR
Generate the Embedded C++/Serializer mapping. For each input file in the form

.SS common options
.IP "\fB\--output-dir \fIdir\fR"
Write generated files to
.I dir
instead of the current directory.
.IP "\fB\--no-stl\fR"
Generate code that does not use the Standard Template Library (STL).
.IP "\fB\--no-iostream\fR"
Generate code that does not use the standard input/output stream
library (iostream).
.IP "\fB\--no-exceptions\fR"
Generate code that does not use C++ exceptions.
.IP "\fB\--no-long-long\fR"
Generate code that does not use the
.B long long
and
.B unsigned long long
types. The 64 bit
.B long
and
.B unsignedLong
built-in XML Schema types are then mapped to
.B long
and
.B unsigned
.BR long .
.IP "\fB\--generate-inline\fR"
Generate simple functions inline. This option triggers creation of the
inline file.
.IP "\fB\--namespace-map \fIxns\fB=\fIcns"
Map XML Schema namespace
.I xns
to C++ namespace
.IR cns .
Repeat this option to specify mapping for more than one XML Schema namespace.
For example, the following option:
.B --namespace-map http://example.com/foo/bar=foo::bar
will map the
.B http://example.com/foo/bar
XML Schema namespace to the
.B foo::bar
C++ namespace.
.
.IP "\fB\--namespace-regex \fIregex\fR"
Add
.I regex
to the list of regular expressions used to translate XML Schema namespace
names to C++ namespace names.
.I regex
is a perl-like regular expression in the form
.BI / pattern / replacement /\fR.
Any character can be used as a delimiter instead of
.BR / .
Escaping of the delimiter character in
.I pattern
or
.I replacement
is not supported.
All 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
.I filename namespace
For example,
.B XMLSchema.xsd http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
The
.I filename
for the current translation unit is empty. For example, if you have file
.B hello.xsd
with namespace
.B http://example.com/hello
and you run
.B xsde
on this file, then the string in question would be:
.B \ http://example.com/hello
Note the leading space.
The following three steps are performed for each regular expression until
the match is found:
.RS
.RS 3
.TP 3
1.
The expression is applied and if the result is empty the next expression
is considered.
.TP 3
2.
All
.B /
are replaced with
.BR :: .
.TP 3
3.
The result is verified to be a valid C++ scope name (e.g.,
.BR foo::bar ).
If this test succeeds, the result is used as a C++ namespace name.
.RE
.PP
As an example, the following expression maps XML Schema namespaces in the
form
.B http://example.com/foo/bar
to C++ namespaces in the form
.BR foo::bar :
.PP
.B "%.* http://example.com/(.+)%$1%"

option. Use this option to find out why your regular expressions
don't do what you expected them to do.
\"
\" Reserved names.
\"
.IP "\fB\--reserved-name \fIname\fR[\fB=\fIrep\fR]"
Add
.I name
to the list of names that should not be used as identifiers. The name
can optionally be followed by
.B =
and the replacement name that should be used instead. All C++ keywords
are already in this list.
.IP "\fB\--include-with-brackets\fR"
Use angle brackets (<>) instead of quotes ("") in generated
.B #include
directives.
.IP "\fB\--include-prefix \fIprefix\fR"
Add
.I prefix
to generated
.B #include
directive paths.
For example, if you had the following import element in your schema
.B
and compiled this fragment with
.B --include-prefix schemas/\fR,
then the include directive in the generated code would be:
.B #include "schemas/base.hxx"
.IP "\fB\--include-regex \fIregex\fR"
Add
.I regex
to the list of regular expressions used to transform
.B #include
directive paths.
.I regex
is a perl-like regular expression in the form
.BI / pattern / replacement /\fR.
Any character can be used as a delimiter instead of
.BR / .
Escaping of the delimiter character in
.I pattern
or
.I replacement
is not supported.
All regular expressions are pushed into a stack with the last specified
expression considered first. The first match that succeeds is used.
As an example, the following expression transforms paths in the form
.B schemas/foo/bar
to paths in the form
.BR generated/foo/bar :
.B "%schemas/(.+)%generated/$1%"
See also the REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING section below.
.IP "\fB\--include-regex-trace\fR"
Trace the process of applying regular expressions specified with
the
.B --include-regex
option. Use this option to find out why your regular expressions
don't do what you expected them to do.
.IP "\fB\--guard-prefix \fIprefix\fR"
Add
.I prefix

to providing the same set of options in the same order in the command
line at the point where the
.B --options-file
option is specified except that shell escaping and quoting is not
required. Repeat this option to specify more than one options files.
.IP "\fB\--proprietary-license\fR"
Indicate that the generated code is licensed under a proprietary license
instead of the GPL.
.IP "\fB\--preserve-anonymous\fR"
Preserve anonymous types. By default anonymous types are
automatically named with names derived from the enclosing
elements/attributes. Because mappings implemented by this
compiler require all types to be named, this option is only
useful if you want to make sure your schemas don't have
anonymous types.
.IP "\fB\--show-anonymous\fR"
Show elements and attributes that are of anonymous types. This option
only makes sense together with the
.B --preserve-anonymous
option.
.IP "\fB\--anonymous-regex \fIregex\fR"
Add
.I regex
to the list of regular expressions used to derive names for anonymous
types from the enclosing attributes/elements.
.I regex
is a perl-like regular expression in the form
.BI / pattern / replacement /\fR.
Any character can be used as a delimiter instead of
.BR / .
Escaping of the delimiter character in
.I pattern
or
.I replacement
is not supported.
All 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
.I filename namespace xpath
For example,
.B hello.xsd http://example.com/hello element
.B hello.xsd http://example.com/hello type/element
The
.I filename
for the current translation unit is empty. For example, if you have file
.B hello.xsd
with namespace
.B http://example.com/hello
and you run
.B xsde
on this file, then the string in question would be:
.B \ http://example.com/hello element
Note the leading space.
As an example, the following expression makes all the derived
names start with capital letters. This could be useful when
your naming convention requires type names to start with
capital letters:
.B %.* .* (.+/)*(.+)%\\\\u$2%
See also the REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING section below.
.IP "\fB\--anonymous-regex-trace\fR"
Trace the process of applying regular expressions specified with
the

.IP "\fB\--location-map \fIol\fB=\fInl"
Map the original schema location
.I ol
that is specified in the XML Schema include or import elements to new
schema location
.IR nl .
Repeat this option to map more than one schema location. For example,
the following option maps the
.B http://example.com/foo.xsd
URL to the
.B foo.xsd
local file.
.B --location-map http://example.com/foo.xsd=foo.xsd
.IP "\fB\--location-regex \fIregex\fR"
Add
.I regex
to the list of regular expressions used to map schema locations that are
specified in the XML Schema include or import elements.
.I regex
is a perl-like regular expression in the form
.BI / pattern / replacement /\fR.
Any character can be used as a delimiter instead of
.BR / .
Escaping of the delimiter character in
.I pattern
or
.I replacement
is not supported. All regular expressions are pushed into a stack with the
last specified expression considered first. The first match that succeeds
is used.
For example, the following expression maps URL locations in the form
.B http://example.com/foo/bar.xsd
to local files in the form
.BR bar.xsd :
.B %http://.+/(.+)%$1%
See also the REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING section below.
.IP "\fB\--location-regex-trace\fR"
Trace the process of applying regular expressions specified with
the
.B --location-regex
option. Use this option to find out why your regular expressions
don't do what you expected them to do.
.IP "\fB\--file-per-type\fR"
Generate a separate set of C++ files for each type defined in XML Schema.
Note that in this mode you only need to compile the root schema(s) and the
code will be generated for all included and imported schemas. This
compilation mode is primarily useful when some of your schemas cannot be
compiled separately or have cyclic dependencies which involve type
inheritance.
.IP "\fB\--type-file-regex \fIregex\fR"
Add
.I regex
to the list of regular expressions used to translate type names to file
names when the
.B --type-per-file
option is specified.
.I regex
is a perl-like regular expression in the form
.BI / pattern / replacement /\fR.
Any character can be used as a delimiter instead of
.BR / .
Escaping of the delimiter character in

or
.I replacement
is not supported. All 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
.I namespace type-name
For example, the following expression maps type
.B foo
that is defined in the
.B http://example.com/bar
namespace to file name
.BR bar-foo :
.B %http://example.com/(.+) (.+)%$1-$2%
See also the REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING section below.
.IP "\fB\--type-file-regex-trace\fR"
Trace the process of applying regular expressions specified with
the
.B --type-file-regex
option. Use this option to find out why your regular expressions
don't do what you expected them to do.
.IP "\fB\--file-list \fIfile\fR"
Write a list of generated C++ files to
.IR file .
This option is primarily useful in the file-per-type compilation mode
.RB ( --file-per-type )
to create a list of generated C++ files, for example, as a makefile fragment.
.IP "\fB\--file-list-prologue \fItext\fR"
Insert
.I text
at the beginning of the file list. As a convenience, all occurrences of the
\\n character sequence in
.I text
are replaced with new lines. This option can, for example, be used to assign
the generated file list to a makefile variable.
.IP "\fB\--file-list-epilogue \fItext\fR"
Insert
.I text
at the end of the file list. As a convenience, all occurrences of the
\\n character sequence in

.\" Type map
.\"
.SH TYPE MAP
Type map files are used to define a mapping between XML Schema and
C++ types. For C++/Parser, the compiler uses this information to
determine the return types of
.B post_*
functions in parser skeletons corresponding to XML Schema types as
well as argument types for callbacks corresponding to elements and
attributes of these types. For C++/Serializer, type maps are used
to determine the argument type of
.B pre
functions in serializer skeletons corresponding to XML Schema types
as well as return types for callbacks corresponding to elements and
attributes of these types.
The compiler has a set of predefined mapping rules that map the
built-in XML Schema types to suitable C++ types (discussed in
the following sub-sections) and all other types to
.BR void .
By providing your own type maps you can override these predefined
rules. The format of the type map file is presented below:
.RS
.B namespace
.I schema-namespace
[
.I cxx-namespace
]
.br
.B {
.br
(
.B include
.IB file-name ;
)*
.br
([
.B type
]
.I schema-type cxx-ret-type
[
.I cxx-arg-type
.RB ] ;
)*
.br
.B }
.br
.RE
Both
.I schema-namespace
and
.I schema-type
are regex patterns while
.IR cxx-namespace ,
.IR cxx-ret-type ,
and
.I cxx-arg-type
are regex pattern substitutions. All names can be optionally enclosed
in \fR" "\fR, for example, to include white-spaces.
.I schema-namespace
determines XML Schema namespace. Optional
.I cxx-namespace
is prefixed to every C++ type name in this namespace declaration.
.I cxx-ret-type
is a C++ type name that is used as a return type for the
.B post_*
function in C++/Parser or for element/attribute callbacks in C++/Serializer.
Optional
.I cxx-arg-type
is an argument type for element/attribute callbacks in C++/Parser or for the
.B pre
function in C++/Serializer. If
.I cxx-arg-type
is not specified, it defaults to
.I cxx-ret-type
if
.I cxx-ret-type
ends with
.B *
or
.B &
(that is, it is a pointer or a reference) and
.B const
\fIcxx-ret-type\fB&\fR otherwise.
.I file-name
is a file name either in the \fR" "\fR or < > format and is added with the
.B #include
directive to the generated code.
The \fB#\fR character starts a comment that ends with a new line or end of
file. To specify a name that contains \fB#\fR enclose it in \fR" "\fR. For
example:
.RS
namespace http://www.example.com/xmlns/my my
.br
{
.br
include "my.hxx";
.br
# Pass apples by value.
#
apple apple;
.br
# Pass oranges as pointers.
#
orange orange_t*;
.br
}
.br
.RE
In the example above, for the
.B http://www.example.com/xmlns/my#orange
XML Schema type, the
.B my::orange_t*
C++ type will be used as both return and argument types.
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:
.RS
include "my.hxx";
.br
apple apple;
.br
namespace http://www.example.com/xmlns/my
.br
{
.br
orange "const orange_t*";
.br
}

.RE
The compiler has a number of predefined mapping rules for the built-in
XML Schema types that vary depending on the mapping used. They are

for all mappings maps anything that wasn't mapped by previous rules to

.RS
namespace .*
.br
{
.br

.SH REGEX AND SHELL QUOTING
When entering a regular expression argument in the shell command line
it is often necessary to use quoting (enclosing the argument in " "
or ' ') in order to prevent the shell from interpreting certain
characters, for example, spaces as argument separators and $ as
variable expansions.
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 " " for quoting you will get
a wrong result with POSIX shells if your expression contains $. The
standard way of dealing with this on POSIX systems is to use ' '
instead. Unfortunately, Windows shell does not remove ' ' from
arguments when they are passed to applications. As a result you may
have to use ' ' for POSIX and " " for Windows ($ is not treated as
a special character on Windows).
Alternatively, you can save regular expression options into a file,
one option per line, and use this file with the
.B --options-file
option. With this approach you don't need to worry about shell quoting.
