3.1.1 xercesc_3_1::EndOfEntityException from install tests

[Philip Montrowe <pm...@appsecinc.com>]

We are in the process of trying to upgrade to Xerces 3.1.1 from Xerces 2.7.0.

We have a problem building/testing on Solaris 2.9 with gcc 4.5.2 (for 2.7.0 we used suncc)

My configure looks like this:

        ../configure                            \
                --prefix="instPath"             \
                --enable-static                 \
                --disable-shared                \
                --disable-debug                 \
                --disable-acexml                \
                --disable-qos                   \
                --disable-ace-examples          \
                --with-openssl="sslPath"        \
                LIBS="-ldl -laio"

This builds ok but running the tests as follows fails:

        cp ../tests/run* tests
        ( cd tests; perl -I ../../bin run_test.pl )

Previously our tests ran successfully this way on 2.7.0 and they also run successfully for 3.1.1 on other platforms like Linux.

The errors we receive are:

rm -f test-results.log

There's many more lines of diff, the essential problem is everything terminates with this EndOfEntityException.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Boris, I tried this with a 5 line main program and exception catching worked perfectly.  Of course I was just throwing std::exception and not from library code, etc.  Any other suggestions?

Meantime I am installing a gcc 3.4.6 package (latest version I can find Sparc Solaris) to compiler and test Xerces 3.1.1 with.

This probably means that exception handling is not working in your GCC
build. You can verify this by writing and running a test program that
throws and catches an exception.
