Thanks for the comments. I would suspect that they probably suppress the warning as you said but somehow I have not duplicated that in my workspace. That would be an easy fix anyway.
However I am annoyed :o( with the warnings that I get when linking to the static library (for example) LINK : warning LNK4049: locally defined symbol ""public: void __thiscall AbstractDOMParser::setValidationSchemaFullChecking(bool)" (?setValidationSchemaFullChecking@AbstractDOMParser@@QAEX_N@Z)" imported FROM MSDEV HELP: exported symbol "symbol" also imported The symbol was both exported from and imported to the program. I checked the definition of the #defines and found #if defined(PROJ_DOM) #define CDOM_EXPORT PLATFORM_EXPORT #else #define CDOM_EXPORT PLATFORM_IMPORT #endif in XercesDefs.hpp and #define PLATFORM_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport) #define PLATFORM_IMPORT __declspec(dllimport) in VCPPDefs.hpp so at first glance I would expect this should work correctly as I am not (knowingly) defining PROJ_DOM in my project and I am defining it in the XercesLib project. Hence exporting from XercesLib and importing into my own project. Has anybody resolved this already? Martin Bosticky Software Engineer Action Information Management Ltd.

I don't know whether the warning occurs if you build the DLL version. I, too, would be surprised if it didn't, unless the stock makefile suppresses the warning with /wd4355. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Weaver [mailto:mark@;npsl.co.uk] Sent: Thursday, October 24, 2002 2:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: compiling xerces into a static library #pragma warning (disable: 4355) :) I'm surprised that you don't get this warning regardless of static compilation. It means that you are passing 'this' to a member during construction. The problem is that 'this' has not been fully constructed, so you could get explosions; e.g. class Y; class X { public: X(Y* y) { y->die(); } }; class Y { public: Y() : m_x(this), m_s("foobar") {} void die() { std::cout << m_s; } private: X m_x; const char *m_s; }; here X attempts to use the unconstructed Y. This will cause undefined behaviour. It's not actually illegal to do this however, as if X just stores a pointer to Y, and does not use it until after construction is complete, then it works.
