>          Components: Validating Parser (XML Schema)
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.1
>         Environment: Not relevant, C++ syntax problem

> ContentSpecType.cpp says at about line 260:
>                 if ((fType & 0x0f) == ContentSpecNode::Choice) {
>                     max = max * (maxFirst > maxSecond) ? maxFirst : maxSecond;
>                 }
> Thanks to operator precedence max evaluates either to maxFirst or maxSecond, but never to max*maxFirst or max*maxSecond.
> Adding parenthesis makes this do the right thing:
>                     max = max * ((maxFirst > maxSecond) ? maxFirst : maxSecond);
