and one without)?</q>
+
+ <a>
+
+ <p>With the introdcution of the configurable memory manager, we didn't want
to break users by
+ changing the signature of the method. Also, we did not want to provide a
default memory
+ manager as it would introduce a side effect with users experiencing some
strange core dumps.
+ The latter will occur when the scope of the string allocated is beyond
that of
+ XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate (i.e. a string is allocated using the default
memory manager
+ which is deleted when XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate is called, but the
allocated string is
+ deleted later). We plan to deprecate the transcode method with no
parameters in later releases.
