Re: [xsl] Does <xsl:copy> use a lot of memory? Is there an alternative that is more efficient?

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

I suspect Michael just posted something equivalent or better or whatever 
but

<x>
   <b id="i1">aaa</b>
   <b idref="i1"/>
   <b id="i2">kkk <c idref="i3"/></b>
   <b> aaa <c idref="i2"/></b>
   <b id="i3"> aaa <c idref="i2"/></b>
</x>

processed with

<xsl:stylesheet version="2.0" 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:key name="id" match="*[@id]" use="@id"/>

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@* except @idref"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@idref,node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@idref">
<xsl:param name="seen" tunnel="yes"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=".=$seen"><xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="key('id',.)">
<xsl:with-param name="seen" select="$seen,string(.)" tunnel="yes"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>


</xsl:stylesheet>


produces




$ saxon9 aaa.xml aaa.xsl

where idrefs have been expanded out unless you are already in the the 
descendants of its expansion in which case it is left as a ref.
