...resolved in the new snapshot. The reason was that the erroneous parse-xml() function was pre-evaluated and substituted with an error() function, which couldn't be passed on to the next function.

Hi all, I have the following code [1] that I expect to raise a xml parser exception but it raises a typecast exception [2]. Instead I get the expected exception [3] when substituting the call to local:h with direct parse -xml() (as for the snippet in the comment). Any clue? Thanks, Marco.

[1] declare function local:f($rdf as node()){ $rdf };

declare function local:h(){ parse-xml("xxx") };

declare function local:g(){ let $rdf := local:h() (: parse-xml("xxx") :) let $validate := local:f($rdf) (:$rdf:) return ($validate) };

local:g()
