[basex-talk] different syntax for specifying the axis while applying a function

Dear basex people,

I am new to this mailing list. So 'hello' first of all.

In my understanding of xquery the following expressions should be equivalent

/self::match/string()

/string(self::match)

But running

xquery count((<match>foo</match>, <test>test</test>, <match>bar</match>)/self::match/string())

xquery count((<match>foo</match>, <test>test</test>, <match>bar</match>)/string(self::match))

in basex version 7.7.2 turns out to have different results (2 in the first case, 3 in the second). I think it should be 2 in both cases.

This bug was found using functx:get-matches() which doesn't return the expected results in basex.

Best regards. Jan
