Steve Lawrence updated DAFFODIL-1919:
-------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 2.2.0
> Trailing Separator Suppression
> ------------------------------
>
> Key: DAFFODIL-1919
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1919
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: DFDL Language
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Josh Adams
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.2.0
>
>
> Working with Mike on getting the IBMTLOG schema project working, we have come
> to the conclusion that Daffodil's compiler and runtime cannot correctly
> support trailing suppression without some major refactoring.
> We can currently support separatorSuppresssionPolicy always or never, but
> trailing suppression requires backtracking that will need its own iterative
> combinators.
> Pull request 55 (which should be pushed upstream soon after the creation of
> this ticket) includes a couple tests that demonstrate what works and doesn't
> work with our current implementation. I believe that we can currently
> support trailing suppression for required elements, but for optional
> separated elements things break down when the first element of a sequence is
> optional and missing. See
