SAX2Count > 3MB when statically linked ????
SAX2Count > 3MB when statically linked ????
I'm a newbie ... does this make sense ? Is the API that expansive and does it have that many dependencies within it ?
All I'm looking for is any command-line app for validating XML/DTD. I was going to use SAX2Count.

Please post to the list in plain text rather than HTML (more people will be
able to read your email, and thus offer help).
No, on UNIX, many linkers fast link the entire static library to an
executable creating a larger than neccesary executable. Using the strip
command, you can pull out all unreferenced symbols, thus shrinking the
executable. As you mention DLL's, it is clear that you are using a
Microsoft platform, and I do not know much about that platform and its
linking process.
As you are just trying to develop a validation service (which many XML
editors provide on the MS platform from what I've heard), it doesn't sound
like the executable size should be a big deal anyway. The sample programs
are probably a good place to start, as your handler needs are very basic.
You should only need to edit the ErrorHandler Overrides (warning, error, and
fatal error), and then you'll probably want to override the contenthandlers
system id to gain access to that (in general your content handler will have
to inherit from or give access to your error handler anyway when working
with SAX2).
cheers,
Brad

Brad, are you asking if I stipped SAX2Count down to meet the simple
requirement of just spitting out ERR line so and so vs , Valid doc ? That's
all I want. Well, I didn't edit SAX2Count down for my purposes.
I noticed that the size of the xereces DLL had varied a lot between some
releases. In one case it was like 1.5MB and then in the one that I really
wanted to build from (the latest src tree) the DLL was 3.6MB or something
like that. I think the 1.5MB sized DLL came from a binary release targeted
at Win32.
Ultimately, I'm trying to build a syntax error checker for XML/DTD docs ...
and doing this under CYGWIN. Any helpful hints would be appreciated. Is
SAX2Count a good place to start ? Would there be a better sample to start
from ? Probably I just need to sit down and read a bunch about the API ...
but of course that's easiest when one starts with an appropriate sample.
