Problem in prefix parsing while creating Documnet, Element, Attributes on all 
platforms : Issue is in poolString creation
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: XERCESC-1940
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-1940
             Project: Xerces-C++
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: DOM
    Affects Versions: 3.0.1, 3.1.1
         Environment: ALL Platform, ALL OS
            Reporter: Anil G Pandge
            Priority: Critical


Description:
============

When I create a DOM document using xerces APIs, for very specific input its 
creating wrong payload. This is observable on 64-bit but on 32-bit. For testing 
I have written sample with createDocument API which creates DOM document and 
print it in string format.

I ran the test on following inputs:

    createDocument("types:statusSet","http://xyz.com";);

createDocument function just create dom document and prints payloads. Following 
is the outputs of above string on 32-bit machine.

32 bit platforms output:

prefix = types:statusSet
LocalName = statusSet

doc = <types:statusSet xmlns:types:statusSet="http://xyz.com"/>


===================
Severity : Critical

Platforms: ALL
==============

Cause and resolution
====================

I debugged xerces code, issue is in 
 File : "DOMDocumentImpl.hpp"
 Function : "DOMDocumentImpl::getPooledNString(const XMLCh *in, XMLSize_t n)"

Patch:

+      pspe = &((*pspe)->fNext);
   }

Issue:
======
        1. getPooledNString computes hash of prefix and searches in fNameTable.
        2. Once hash is found, code cheks pooledString and 'n' characters of 
qualifiedString. !!!!! WRONG !!!!!
        3. if comparision is true it returns the pooled string.

        Ex:
                In case of "types:statusSet", it will compare "types:statusSet" 
and first 6 characters of "types:", it found comparision true. It return pooled 
string "types:statusSet" as prefix !!!!! WRONG !!!!!

How to reporduce:
=================
        Very easy to reproduce. Run the sample program I have attached.
        
Resolution:
===========
        I have attached patch file with resolution.
