Hermann Walth commented on XALANC-782:
--------------------------------------
Thank you Roger, I'm aware. As I said, I'd rather avoid updating Xerces and
Xalan due to the API changes right now.
> Mismatched types when compiling Xalan on Windows with native wchar_t

> Key: XALANC-782
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XALANC-782
> Project: XalanC
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 1.10
> Reporter: Hermann Walth
> Assignee: Steven J. Hathaway
> Priority: Major
>
> I have the following scenario:
> I built Xerces C++ 2.7 successfully with the flag /Zc:wchar_t set, using
> Visual Studio 2017.
> If I now try to build Xalan C++ 1.10 with Visual Studio 2017 (by opening and
> retargeting the provided solution VC7.1/Xalan.sln), I get error messages like
> the following:
> {code:java}
> C2664: 'void XalanFileOutputStream::write(const char *,unsigned int)': cannot
> convert argument 1 from 'XMLCh [512]' to 'const UTF16Ch *'
> (xml-xalan\c\src\xalanc\utils\msgcreator\icureshandler.cpp:89){code}
> The problem here is that XalanFileOutputStream::write expects to be called
> with an array of XMLCh (which Xerces defines to be native wchar_t), but is
> actually called with an array of UTF16Ch (which is a type alias of unsigned
> short). Hence, there is a type error.
> I also get the error
> {code:java}
> C1083: Cannot open include file: 'LocalMsgIndex.hpp': No such file or
> directory (xml-xalan\c\src\xalanc\xslt\elemtemplateelement.hpp:45)
> {code}
> Is there a way to successfully compile Xalan 1.10 even with the flag
> /Zc:wchar_t set? I don't want to set this flag because it causes other
> problems in my codebase, and I updating to Xalan 1.11 and to Xerces 3.x would
> take some effort because both libraries changed their API without a clear
> migration guide.
