[jira] [Created] (DAFFODIL-2040) warn on regex containing DFDL-entities syntax

Michael Beckerle created DAFFODIL-2040:
------------------------------------------

             Summary: warn on regex containing DFDL-entities syntax
                 Key: DAFFODIL-2040
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-2040
             Project: Daffodil
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Front End
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
            Reporter: Michael Beckerle


An easy error for beginners is to put DFDL entities like %NL; inside a regex as for example in a dfdl:lengthPattern property value.

We should give regexs a quick scan and issue a suppressable warning if they contain anything that looks like a DFDL entity since this syntax is not supported.
