Functions, operators, and data types for XPath 2.0
Added support for the abs
function. (This anticipates a future draft of the
specification.) {math-two15}
Conversion of decimal, float, and double to integer now works as specified, by truncating towards zero. {math-two16}
Conversion of a non-numeric string to a number, when invoked using a cast, or the xs:double()
constructor function, or implicit conversion of an untyped node, now raises a dynamic error rather than
returning NaN
. The number()
function, however, continues to return NaN
.
The doc()
function, when it fails to find a document (or to parse it as XML) now raises
a fatal run-time error. This doesn't affect the behaviour of the document()
function.
