To continue on improving Xerces-C, we are proposing the following API
changes. Please post your comments/suggestions here by Mar. 10 (Friday)
4PM. If your applications call any of these API, please update your code as
well.
[1] The following IDL attributes are readonly but have a set method
decalared in their C++ API now. Those methods will be removed.
IDL Attribute Set Method to be removed
----------------------------------------------
Attr.specified DOM_Attr::setSpecified
Entity.publicId DOM_Entity::setPublicId
Entity.systemId DOM_Entity::setSystemId
Entity.notationName DOM_Entity::setNotationName
Notation.publicId DOM_Notation::setPublicId
Notation.systemId DOM_Notation::setSystemId
[2] The following APIs have a "const" keyword added. The node in
acceptNode() is also changed to a reference.
BEFORE
DOM_Node DOM_NamedNodeMap::item(unsigned int index);
DOM_Node DOM_NamedNodeMap::getNamedItem(const DOMString &name);
virtual short DOM_NodeFilter::acceptNode(DOM_Node node) = 0;
AFTER
DOM_Node DOM_NamedNodeMap::item(unsigned int index) const;
DOM_Node DOM_NamedNodeMap::getNamedItem(const DOMString &name) const;
virtual short DOM_NodeFilter::acceptNode(const DOM_Node& node) = 0;
