+ <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>
+ <dd>Trace the process of applying regular expressions specified with

+ to find out why your regular expressions don't do what you expected
+ 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.

+ <dd>Add <code><i>regex</i></code> to the list of regular expressions

+ <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

+ 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

+ <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>
