[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1401?page=comments#action_62370 ] David Bertoni commented on XERCESC-1401: ----------------------------------------
The fact that your catch(...) handler catches an access violation is a property of Microsoft's asynchronous exception model. On other platforms, your program would crash. It should be clear from the documentation (or we should make it clear), that passing in a null pointer will lead to undefined behavior. I'm not sure we should be checking for a null pointer and throwing an exception in this case, unless we plan to consistently do this for all of the DOM APIs. > Not documented xerces-c exception: DOMNode::appendChild > ------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: XERCESC-1401 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1401 > Project: Xerces-C++ > Type: Bug > Components: Documentation > Versions: 2.6.0 > Environment: Win NT, MSVC 6.0 > Reporter: Sergiy Michka > > I found that, DOMNode::appendChild throws unspecified xerces exception. > The documented one > (http://xml.apache.org/xerces-c/apiDocs/classDOMNode.html#z113_15) is only > DOMException. > My code looks like this: > try > { > // ... > DOMElement* child1 = pDoc->createElement(("child1")); > rootElem->appendChild(child1); > DOMText* child1_val = pDoc->createTextNode(("child1_val"))); > DOMText* child1_val2 = 0; > child1_val2 = reinterpret_cast<DOMText*> (child1->appendChild(child1_val)); > // undocumented xerces exception > } > catch (DOMException& rExc) > { > throw MyException(rExc.getMessage()); > } > catch (...) // not documented: what kind of Exception will be thrown? > { > throw MyException(_T("Can not append TextNode")); > } > So whats wrong? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - If you want more information on JIRA, or have a bug to report see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
