Here is an overview of the issue:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
        Key: XERCESC-1288
    Summary: Wrong line/column number in UTFDataFormatException
       Type: Bug

     Status: Unassigned
   Priority: Minor

    Project: Xerces-C++
 Components: 
             DOM
             Non-Validating Parser
             SAX/SAX2
   Versions:
             2.5.0
             2.6.0

   Assignee: 
   Reporter: Valerio Gionco

    Created: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 1:34 AM
    Updated: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 1:34 AM
Environment: Linux (SUSE 9.1, Fedora core 2, Redhat 9) on Intel, Solaris 7 on SPARC,  various gcc versions.

Description:
I've the following (bad) XML file:
--------------- bad.xml ----------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<block>
        <field>Blah blah</field>
        <field>Blah blah ò blah blah</field>
        <field>Blah blah</field>
</block>
----------------------------------------------------
(note the accented 'o' in the 2nd "field" line - hope it won't be
destroyed...)
The file is bad because the accented 'o' is represented with a single
byte, 0xf2. This is the hed dump:

3e 42 6c 61 68 20 62 6c  61 68 20 f2 20 62 6c 61  |>Blah blah . bla|

Problem is, when I run "SAXPrint bad.xml" i get the following error:
Fatal Error at file /users/valerio/tmp/bad.xml, line 1, char 39
  Message: An exception occurred! Type:UTFDataFormatException, Message:invalid byte 2 ( ) of a 4-byte sequence.

The row and column reported by SAXParseException::getColumnNumber()
and SAXParseException::getLineNumber() are wrong. I seem to recall
this was not the case with older (2.0 or 2.2?) versions of Xerces-C,
but I'm not sure.

I noticed the issue with 2.5, then tried with 2.6 but there was
no apparent difference. Can somebody take care of this? We often
have big XML files to parse, and not knowing where the error
really is is a real pain.
