If it returns 0, then you could never get the size of an XmlNode (or any class derived from XmlNode) independently of the tree. IMHO, you should be able to get the mem_sizeof any node (which would include its child nodes, if any) independently of the tree. If you explicitly ask for the mem_sizeof an XmlTree explicitly, then you'd get the size of the tree object itself plus all the nodes. - Paul -- https://code.launchpad.net/~zorba-coders/zorba/feature-mem_size/+merge/114764 Your team Zorba Coders is subscribed to branch lp:zorba. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zorba-coders Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zorba-coders More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
