Differences between Visual C++ 5 and 6
I know this may seem off topic, but it really isn't, as the reason
I'm switching to Visual C++ 6 is because that is the compiler used for
the Windows version of Xerces.
I'm having a great deal of difficulty getting a project (not the
Xerces project) that used to work under Visual C++ 5 to produce a
correct program under Visual C++ 6. The program produced by compiling
under Visual C++ 6 throws an exception before main begins, inside
NTDLL.
I have a couple of questions: first, has anyone else encountered
this problem? Second, is there some list somewhere of what compiler
switches I need to change when moving a project from Visual C++ 5 2
Visual C++ 6?
Thanks to everyone in advance.

The only pain we went through when switching xerces from the 5 to 6 compiler
was making sure that all of the projects were using the multithreaded dll
instead of the static one.
Project settings->c/c++->Use run-time library->Multithreaded DLL or Debug
Multithreaded DLL.
Keep in mind the following things:
We were using the bleeding edge version of xerces directly from CVS.
We switched over in the Dec-Jan 2000 time frame.
It is quite possible that we just didn't find this problem until after
upgrading to VC6.0.

You generally wouldn't have to change anything. It should offer to update
the project files to its new format, which you should do. Other than that,
unless you are doing something way off the beaten path, I don't think you
should need to change anything necessarily.
Are you declaring any XML parser objects global or static?
