I've finally managed to get gram.y to parse the syntax correctly. After
progressing from a segmentation fault that occured when the grammar was
correct I'm now left with a cryptic error:
xmltest=# SELECT COUNT(id) FROM xmltest WHERE xmlexists('/menu/beers'
PASSING BY REF data);
ERROR: unrecognized node type: 1852140847
At a guess there is another step that I need to do after modifying
gram.y. One mailing list posting I found mentioned copyfuncs.c but
really I'm unsure as to what next. Anyone know what the missing step is?
