Blair Fonville updated XERCESC-2145:
------------------------------------
    Description: 
In a program which reads (parses) an xml file once into a DOMDocument, and then 
accesses the content of the nodes/elements often, through getTextContent(), the 
heap memory builds indefinitely.

For example: 
{code:java}
#include <xercesc/dom/DOM.hpp>

XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE_USE

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
   XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();

   XMLCh tempStr[100];
   XMLString::transcode("LS", tempStr, 99);
   DOMImplementation *impl = 
DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation(tempStr);
   DOMLSParser *parser = ((DOMImplementationLS*)impl) ->createLSParser( 
DOMImplementationLS::MODE_SYNCHRONOUS, 0);

   DOMDocument *doc = impl->createDocument(0, 0, 0);
   doc = parser->parseURI("config.xml");

   DOMElement *el = doc->getDocumentElement();

   // Heap blows up here
   while (1) {
      char *cstr = XMLString::transcode(el->getTextContent());
      XMLString::release(&cstr);
   }

   // and/or here
   while (1) {
      XMLCh *xstr = XMLString::replicate(el->getTextContent());
      char *cstr = XMLString::transcode(xstr);
      XMLString::release(&cstr);
      XMLString::release(&xstr);
   }
}
{code}
I realize that the memory is supposed to be freed when the Document is 
released, but in a program where the Document is populated at startup, and used 
forever, this is, for all practical purposes, a memory leak.
