Dear subscribers
I'm currently working on a port of an application from Solaris to Windows that's using Xalan 1.6. Since one of the tasks of the port is to build the application using the new Visual Studio 2008 (VS 2008), i.e. Visual C++ 9.0, I've decided to also upgrade the Xalan library to the 1.10 version which builds smoothly using VS 2008. Unfortunately there are some compatibility issues between the ported application and Xalan 1.10. For instance, previously there was a pure virtual clone()-method on the XObject-class which has been removed in later version, specifically with the check-in of the first implementation of the "pluggable memory management". My question is, is there any other similar or replacement method for cloning objects? The ported application makes heavy use of this cloning ability by methods that clone an object provided with a XObject-pointer. As I see it, to remedy this can be slightly troublesome since the methods themselves are not aware of the actual class-type that's cloned, and without the clone()-method I guess the method need to know which instance-type to create. Modifying the application to skip the cloning and use the provided object will probably introduce some bugs since some of the objects seem to be using reference counting. Any information that could point me into the direction of a smooth solution would be most appreciated since I'm not very familiar with the Xalan-libraries.
