> Hi,
> I found a memory leak using the SAX Parser  in error cases like file not found or unexcepted end of file. I first detected it with Xerces C++ release 2.3, and then verified that  it's still in contained in the latest release (2.6). Here's the source code I used to test this issue; in this example the XML file to parse is not existing.
> #include <xercesc/sax/HandlerBase.hpp>
> #include <xercesc/sax/AttributeList.hpp>
> #include <xercesc/parsers/SAXParser.hpp>
> #include <iostream.h>
> using namespace XERCES_CPP_NAMESPACE;
> class myCallbackHandler_c : public HandlerBase
> {
> public:
>   void fatalError (const SAXParseException& exception)
>   {
>     char chBuffer[256];
>     XMLString::transcode(exception.getMessage(), chBuffer, 255); 
>     throw chBuffer;
>   }
> };
> int main()
> {
>   int returnValue = 0;
>   XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
>   SAXParser *saxParserPtr = new SAXParser;
>   myCallbackHandler_c *callbackHandlerPtr = new myCallbackHandler_c;
>   saxParserPtr->setErrorHandler(callbackHandlerPtr);
>   
>   try
>     {
>       saxParserPtr->parse("FileNotFound.xml");
>     }
>   catch (const char* s)
>     {
>       cerr << s << endl;
>       returnValue = 1;
>     }
>   catch (...)
>     {
>       cerr << "Unknown exception!" << endl;
>       returnValue = 1;
>     }
>   
>   delete callbackHandlerPtr;
>   delete saxParserPtr;
>   XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();
>   cout << "Returning: " << returnValue << endl;
>   return returnValue;
> }
> When running it with Rational Purify it shows following memory leaks (BTW, the same leaks are shown when using HP WDB's memory check functionality).

> To me it seems the XMLException object is not released in case an exception is thrown in an error handler's fatalError method.  Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
