No, there is no such feature. Though we are thinking about adding this
functionality to the compiler.

Xerces-C++ includes a number of examples that can be used for that,
e.g. SAXCount. These examples support a number of option that allow
you to customize the validation parameters. A typical use case for
validation would be:

SAXCount -v=always -n -s -f text.xml


Also note that the schema should be specified via schemaLocation or
noNamespaceSchemaLocation in the XML document. It cannot be provided
on the command line (though it won't be very difficult to create a
tool that accepts the schema as a separate file).
