Hi There,
I have just come accross a rather strange error in the Xerces library (cc
build for solaris 2.7).
The following code causes the library to core dump:
/** Function to get the value of a node
This functon takes care of allocating memory and freeing it and
returning the name of the node copied into a static character array */
static void getNodeValue (char *data, const DOMNode *node)
{
//get the name of the DOM node
char *name = XMLString::transcode(node->getNodeValue());
int index = 0;
//only extract text with no ws characterc
while(*name)//isspace(*name))
{
if (!isspace(*name))
{
data[index++] = *name;
}
//move to the next character
name ++;
}
//set the end of the string
data[index] = 0;
//release the memory
XMLString::release(&name);
}
the core dump occurrs in the XMLString::release method, but it works fine
when running the Xerces library on windows.
However it does not core dump immediately, only after processing about half
of the document and the below code seems to fix it.
static void getNodeValue (char *data, const DOMNode *node)
{
//get the name of the DOM node
char *tmp = XMLString::transcode(node->getNodeValue());
char *name = tmp;
int index = 0;
//only extract text with no ws characterc
while(*name)//isspace(*name))
{
if (!isspace(*name))
{
data[index++] = *name;
}
//move to the next character
name ++;
}
//set the end of the string
data[index] = 0;
//release the memory
XMLString::release(&tmp);
}
Could anyone please tell me if there is a bug already raised on this or at
least offer a reason for the core dump.
Thanks
Pete
