Hi,
Forgive me in advance for my griping about Sun's (crappy) compilers and linkers. But
I've spent three days dealing with their linker and compiler issues while working on
getting ICU going. Now that is completed and behind me, on to Xerces-C. I have found
some minor annoyances and bugs in Xerces-C, that I've dealt with appropriately. But
this one, below, stumps me.
Error:

CC: Sun C++ 5.5 Patch 113817-06 2004/01/29
Offending Code:
ThrowXMLwithMemMgr1
(
IllegalArgumentException
, XMLExcepts::Pool_ElemAlreadyExists
, elemToAdopt->getKey()
, fMemoryManager
);
Dispensing with the macro, and calling throw directly, works around the problem. The
new code:
throw IllegalArgumentException(__FILE__, __LINE__,
XMLExcepts::Pool_ElemAlreadyExists, elemToAdopt->getKey(), 0, 0, 0,
fMemoryManager);
We've already found three major bugs in their latest compiler. Here it appears that
their c-preprocessor is wacked. I'd rather not have to custom patch Xerces-C to work
with Sun's compilers. Perhaps there is another explanation, and I am willing to hear
it. Any ideas or alternative solutions anyone?
Thanks in advance,
--Bob
