Xerces 2.3 IconvTranscoder question

[Michael Kopp <mk...@ftisoft.at>]

Hi,

does anyone know why the IconvTranscoder allocates memory even if I provide the array to be filled?

The questionable coe part is:
bool IconvLCPTranscoder::transcode( const   char* const     toTranscode
                                    ,       XMLCh* const    toFill
                                    , const unsigned int    maxChars)

uses a temporary buffer for the translation and then copies that into the buffer provided (toFill).
Why is that? I also looked into a couple of other transcodes (Win32,Iconv390) which do not do that?

The reason why I am asking is that this is a significant performance disadvantage for me.

regards,
