Hi all,

A while ago two of the other USoft developers here that sometimes work with 
Xalan found an issue with the SVN-version of Xalan as of 15 march 2011.
I've known about this and regularly apply their patch here, but there's a 
problem.  My colleagues' repro-path (when they have one) requires using USoft 
developer,
and I can't just hand those out to anyone on the 'net.  So...  We believe the 
current SVN code has an issue, but we can't prove it outside of USoft.

I still feel kind of new to this whole open source thing, so I'll just ask: how 
is this kind of thing usually handled?

FYI, the code we patch is lines 44-48 of 
src/xalanc/PlatformSupport/XSLException.cpp (the first constructor).  The 
(incorrect, we think) code is:

    m_uri(
        XalanLocator::getSystemId(
            theLocator,
            &s_dummy),
        theManager),


which we change to:
        m_uri(XalanLocator::getSystemId(theLocator, &s_dummy) ? 
XalanLocator::getSystemId(theLocator, &s_dummy) : &s_dummy, theManager),


If you diff the 1.10 version with the 1.11 SVN version, the 
according-to-us-correct-code was present in 1.10, but got removed for whatever 
reason.
AFAIR there were perhaps also other repeats of the same kind of 
error-handling...


Should I just go ahead and add a ticket to Xalan-c's issue-tracker?


Sincerely,
Martin
