Tinny, Thanks for the clarification. I was planning on deleting the parser after I finished parsing a document and then process the document, deleting it when finished. Is this really not possible? Does the parser have to remain instantiated to continue using the document that it parsed?
Thanks much. -Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Tinny Ng [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 9:17 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Possible memory leak in IDOM_Element::getElementsByTagName()???? If you manually create a DOM document in memory, e.g. IDOM_Document* myDocument = IDOM_DOMImplementation::getImplementation()->createDocument(); delete myDocument; then you need to explicitly delete the document object. But if you just retrieve the document object after parsing an instance document, e.g. IDOMParser *parser = new IDOMParser; parser->parse(gXmlFile); IDOM_Document *doc = parser->getDocument(); delete parser; memory will be automatically taken care of by the IDOM parser when the IDOMParser is deleted.
