</ul><p>Well, bugs or missing features are always possible, and I will make apoint
of fixing them in a timely fashion. The best way to report a bug is touse the
<a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=libxslt">Gnome
bugtracking database</a>(make sure to use the "libxslt" module name).
Beforefiling a bug, check the <a href="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=libxslt">list of
existinglibxslt bugs</a>to make sure it hasn't already been filed. I look at
reportsthere regularly and it's good to have a reminder when a bug is still
open. Besure to specify that the bug is for the package libxslt.</p><p>For small problems you can try to get help on IRC, the #xml channel
onirc.gnome.org (port 6667) usually have a few person subscribed which may
help(but there is no garantee and if a real issue is raised it should go on
themailing-list for archival).</p><p>There is also a mailing-list <a href="mailto:xslt@gnome.org">xslt@gnome.org</a>for libxslt, with an <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/xslt/">on-line archive</a>. To
subscribeto this list, please visit the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xslt">associated Web</a>pageand
follow the instructions.</p><p>Alternatively, you can just send the bug to the <a href="mailto:xslt@gnome.org">xslt@gnome.org</a>list, if it's really
libxsltrelated I will approve it.. Please do not send me mail directly
especiallyfor portability problem, it makes things really harder to track and
in somecases I'm not the best person to answer a given question, ask the
listinstead. <strong>Do not send code, I won't debug it</strong>(but patches
arereally appreciated!).</p><p>Please note that with the current amount of virus and SPAM, sending mailto
the list without being subscribed won't work. There is *far too manybounces*
(in the order of a thousand a day !) I cannot approve them manuallyanymore.
If your mail to the list bounced waiting for administrator approval,it is
LOST ! Repost it and fix the problem triggering the error. Also pleasenote
that <span style="color: #FF0000; background-color: #FFFFFF">emails witha
legal warning asking to not copy or redistribute freely the informationsthey

mail will as much as possible be discarded automatically, and are lesslikely

<li>make sure you can reproduce the bug with xsltproc, a very useful
thingto do is run the transformation with -v argument and redirect

</ul><h3><a name="XSLT1" id="XSLT1">The XSLT stylesheet compilation</a></h3><p>This is the second step described. It takes a stylesheet tree,

documents,imports are stored in the <strong>imports</strong>list (hence
keeping thetree hierarchy of includes which is very important for a proper
XSLTprocessing model) and includes are stored in the
<strong>doclist</strong>list. An imported stylesheet has a parent link to
allow browsing of thetree.</p><p>The DOM tree associated to the document is stored in
<strong>doc</strong>.It is preprocessed to remove ignorable empty nodes and
all the nodes in theXSLT namespace are subject to precomputing. This usually
consist ofextracting all the context information from the context tree
(attributes,namespaces, XPath expressions), and storing them in an
xsltStylePreCompstructure associated to the <strong>_private</strong>field of
the node.</p><p>A couple of notable exceptions to this are XSLT template nodes (more
onthis later) and attribute value templates. If they are actually
templates,the value cannot be computed at compilation time. (Some
preprocessing couldbe done like isolation and preparsing of the XPath
subexpressions but it'snot done, yet.)</p><p>The xsltStylePreComp structure also allows storing of the precompiled
formof an XPath expression that can be associated to an XSLT element (more
onthis later).</p><h3><a name="XSLT2" id="XSLT2">The XSLT template compilation</a></h3><p>A proper handling of templates lookup is one of the keys of fast
XSLTprocessing. (Given a node in the source document this is the process
offinding which templates should be applied to this node.) Libxslt follows
thehint suggested in the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#patterns">5.2Patterns</a>section of the XSLT
Recommendation, i.e. it doesn't evaluate itas an XPath expression but
tokenizes it and compiles it as a set of rules tobe evaluated on a candidate
node. There usually is an indication of the nodename in the last step of this
evaluation and this is used as a key check forthe match. As a result libxslt
builds a relatively more complex set ofstructures for the templates:</p><p align="center"><img src="templates.gif" alt="The templates related structure" /></p><p>Let's describe a bit more closely what is built. First the
xsltStylesheetstructure holds a pointer to the template hash table. All the
XSLT patternscompiled in this stylesheet are indexed by the value of the the
targetelement (or attribute, pi ...) name, so when a element or an attribute
"foo"needs to be processed the lookup is done using the name as a key.</p><p>Each of the patterns is compiled into an xsltCompMatch structure. It
holdsthe set of rules based on the tokenization of the pattern stored in
reverseorder (matching is easier this way). It also holds some information
about theprevious matches used to speed up the process when one iterates over
a set ofsiblings. (This optimization may be defeated by trashing when
runningthreaded computation, it's unclear that this is a big deal in
practice.)Predicate expressions are not compiled at this stage, they may be
at run-timeif needed, but in this case they are compiled as full XPath
expressions (theuse of some fixed predicate can probably be optimized, they
are not yet).</p><p>The xsltCompMatch are then stored in the hash table, the clash list
isitself sorted by priority of the template to implement "naturally" the
XSLTpriority rules.</p><p>Associated to the compiled pattern is the xsltTemplate itself
containingthe information required for the processing of the pattern
including, ofcourse, a pointer to the list of elements used for building the
patternresult.</p><p>Last but not least a number of patterns do not fit in the hash
tablebecause they are not associated to a name, this is the case for
patternsapplying to the root, any element, any attributes, text nodes, pi
nodes, keysetc. Those are stored independently in the stylesheet structure as
separatelinked lists of xsltCompMatch.</p><h3><a name="processing" id="processing">The processing itself</a></h3><p>The processing is defined by the XSLT specification (the basis of
thealgorithm is explained in <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Introduction">the
Introduction</a>section). Basically it works by taking the root of the input
document andapplying the following algorithm:</p><ol><li>Finding the template applying to it. This is a lookup in the
templatehash table, walking the hash list until the node satisfies all
the stepsof the pattern, then checking the appropriate(s) global
templates to seeif there isn't a higher priority rule to apply</li>
<li>If there is no template, apply the default rule (recurse on
thechildren)</li>
<li>the stylesheet obtained at 2/ can be reused by multiple processing 4/
(and this should also work in threaded programs)</li>
<li>the tree provided in 2/ should never be freed using xmlFreeDoc, but by

thexmlXPathObject is a structure containing a type description and the
variouspossibilities. (Using an enum could have gained some bytes.) In the
case ofnode sets (or result tree fragments), it points to a separate
xmlNodeSetobject which contains the list of pointers to the document

objects.</p><h3><a name="XPath3" id="XPath3">XPath functions</a></h3><p>All the XPath functions available to the interpreter are registered in
thefunction hash table linked from the XPath context. They all share the
samesignature:</p><pre>void xmlXPathFunc (xmlXPathParserContextPtr ctxt, int nargs);</pre><p>The first argument is the XPath interpretation context, holding
theinterpretation stack. The second argument defines the number of
objectspassed on the stack for the function to consume (last argument is on
top ofthe stack).</p><p>Basically an XPath function does the following:</p><ul><li>check <code>nargs</code>for proper handling of errors or functionswith
variable numbers of parameters</li>
<li>pop the parameters from the stack using <code>obj
=valuePop(ctxt);</code></li>
<li>the array of namespace declarations in scope (there also is a namespace
hash table but it is not used in the XSLT transformation).</li>
</ul><p>For the purpose of XSLT an <strong>extra</strong> pointer has been added
allowing to retrieve the XSLT transformation context. When an XPath
evaluation is about to be performed, an XPath parser context is allocated
containing and XPath object stack (this is actually an XPath evaluation
context, this is a remain of the time where there was no separate parsing and
evaluation phase in the XPath implementation). Here is an overview of the set
