Using Xerces .dll with VC++ 6.0

[Jeff Lewis <jd...@xactware.com>]

I am trying to use Xerces, specifically DOMParser and the DOM_* classes,
within my own application.  When I try to declare a DOMParser, my program's
call stack goes awry.  (And terrible things ensue...)

I have tried using both the .dlls that are provided in the binary drop as
well as recompiling the source myself, yet have been unable to get a stable
build...  I have also tried manipulating many of the compiler settings in
both Xerces and my code so that they match, but still to no avail...

Can anyone think of what I may be missing?

OS:		NT/98/95
COMPILER:	VC++ 6.0

Thanks,

The problem is most likely one of these project settings.  There are so many
of them that it's hard to get them all lined up.   The settings in the C/C++
tab, under code generation, are prime suspects.   To use the pre-built DLL,
the settings should be

     Calling convention:  __cdecl *
     Run Time Library:  Multithreaded DLL  (or debug multi-threaded DLL)
     Struct member alignment:  8 bytes

Another good option is to rebuild the DLL from the source using your project
settings.

You should have a look at the source distribution and look at the samples'
parameters (like multithreading, etc.)...

I have found the source distribution must easier to understand.
