Re: Deleting something returned by XMLString::replicate crashes
when application is using the release build of Xerces-C++ ?
Hi,
sorry about the delay in replying - I needed to get some info from
other developers and they were not around. The documentation is currently
incorrect. If you allocate with the replicate that uses the memory manager
then you cannot call release on it. Are you doing this?

Dave,
I think you are right. I will make the appropriate changes.

Hi Gareth,
A better solution would be make XMLString::replicate() a non-inline
function. Too many people already are confused by XMLString::transcode(),
etc., and I worry that an exception like this will just create more
confusion. It would great if people actually read the documentation before
they used the code, but they don't always do that, so relying is
problematic.
Thanks!
Dave

Hey David,
I missed that - its rather a good point! So in fact it does
more
than defeat the purpose, it may actually cause crashes. I think the
documentation should therefore be changed to state that you should not
call release on replicate under any circumstances. Would you agree?

Hi all,
I think the problem is that XMLString::replicate() is inline, so the memory
will come from the heap of the particular module that's making the call.
The defeats the purpose of having XMLString::release().
