Hello all,
I'm new to the list, so please forgive me if I say or ask something
stupid...
* I'm using Xerces 1.0.1 for my project. My project builds on the Mac using
Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 5.3 and Windows using CodeWarrior and VC++. The
CodeWarrior projects included with the Xerces distribution are out of date
and aren't cross platform. Is there someone I should work with to get my
mods back into the base (assuming they are wanted)? Until recently, I
worked for Metrowerks, so I think my mods would be useful to other
CodeWarrior users.
* Is there a requirement that Xerces run as a DLL/shared library? I've
modified the code to run as a static library and would prefer to ship it
that way.
* I have a crasher that occurs in DTDElementDecl::createChildModel(). The
offending code is
const ContentSpecNode* specNode = getContentSpec();
if (specNode->getElemId() == XMLElementDecl::fgPCDataElemId)
ThrowXML(RuntimeException, XML4CExcepts::CM_NoPCDATAHere);
The crash occurs because specNode is NULL. In my case, the user input is
definitely incorrect, but I don't expect to crash as a result. I'm
beginning to put my 1.0.1 mods into 1.1.0 to see if it fixes the problem,
but I'm skeptical since I don't see any changes in this file or the three
functions up the call stack.
I'm not familiar with the internal operation of Xerce, so can someone
comment whether a test for NULL should be inserted in this code or whether
it's unreasonable to expect to encounter this situation?
Thanks
-E
