Hi Amanda,

It is high time to tackle an existing GitHub issue that most likely relates to the same bug [1].

Thanks for your observation,

Christian

Hi, all.

I'm seeing an error in BaseX when I use function-lookup in both a global variable and a function, where the function relies on the variable. I reduced the situation to the following small query:

xquery version "3.1";

declare variable $local:lookup := function-lookup(QName("nonexistent", "nonexistent"), 1);

declare function local:myfcn() {

let $f := ($local:lookup, function-lookup(QName('http://www.w3.org/2005/xpath-functions','string'), 1))[1]

return $f('a')

};

local:myfcn()

When I run it with BaseX 11.1, I get

[XQDY0054] Static variable depends on itself: $local:lookup

When I run it with Saxon-HE 12, I don't get this error.

Is there anything I can do in my code to avoid this error?

Thanks,

Amanda
