Mike Beckerle commented on DAFFODIL-1060:
-----------------------------------------
No not sure. In fact it appears that compileProperty method of the expression
compiler has an explicit flag isEvaluatedAbove which if set true (which it is
for dfdl:occursCount), adjust relative paths so that they appear to be on the
child, even though the child doesn't exist at the time of evaluation.
So my comment is incorrect about occursCounts needing a special message.

> Key: DAFFODIL-1060
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1060
> Project: Daffodil
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Diagnostics, Front End, Usability
> Affects Versions: s15
> Reporter: Mike Beckerle
> Priority: Major
>
> Right now the Dpath expression parser doesn't provide detailed information
> about where sub-expressions are within an overall expression.
> Since expressions can be fairly large, finer granularity positions for
> diagnostic messaging would be a big improvement. Right now we can just say
> "this error occurred", and the position is just that of the entire expression.
