It appears that xmllint has stopped working in recent CygWin versions.
Specifically, the use of an entity defined in an XML file triggers the
following:
---------
> xmllint --noout --schema ParadigmDefn.xsd TestSuite/Paradigms.Defn.xml
Unimplemented block at
/instsoft/libxml/uploaded/libxml2-2.6.20/xmlschemas.c:23832
Element
'{http://lodl.ldc.upenn.edu/ParadigmDefn.xsd}DisallowedFeatureValues':
Element content is not allowed, because the type definition is simple.
TestSuite/Paradigms.Defn.xml fails to validate
---------
These same files used to pass xmllint fine, and they still do when I run
xmllint on a FreeBSD system.
The xsd in question is too large to post in this msg, but here's a sort
of minimal XML file that will trigger the error:
---------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE ParadigmDefn
[ <!ENTITY Clitic2 "foobar"> ]
>
<ParadigmDefns xmlns
="http://lodl.ldc.upenn.edu/ParadigmDefn.xsd";
xmlns:xsi
="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xsi:schemaLocation="http://lodl.ldc.upenn.edu
ParadigmDefn.xsd"
Title="Paradigms"
>
<POS category="V0">
<Paradigm name="tenses" constant_features="3sgS-">
<FeatureValueSet >
<DisallowedFeatureValues> &Clitic2;
</DisallowedFeatureValues>
</FeatureValueSet>
</Paradigm>
</POS>
</ParadigmDefns>
---------
I'm not sure of the exact date when this started happening, but I just
noticed it yesterday. I downloaded the latest CygWin update today, and
xmllint is still not working.
BTW, I am inexperienced with XML, so it could be that the above is due
to s.t. that I'm doing wrong--but as I say, at least one other
implementation of xmllint accepts it.
And it could be that there's a better place to report this bug. I
looked for an libxml site on sourceforge, but only found libxml2 (=
libxml++).
