xml-cppdom fails to build against Boost 1.59.0

Tim Smith — Wed, 19 Aug 2015 04:26:35 -0000

xml-cppdom fails to build against Boost 1.59.0 on OS X, complaining about missing symbols in Boost after some warnings about deprecated header files.

The build log is here: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1b809c96ad31fb95bd16#file-01-scons-L91-L97

New build error with VC 2008 without feature pack

Anonymous — Fri, 29 Oct 2010 15:48:16 -0000

If you don't have the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack installed, you don't have the TR1 headers including unordered_map, so builds of or using cppdom 1.0.3 fail. Not sure if it's better to change the #if to check for vc 2010, or to also test _CPPLIB_VER which is the only way I've found to tell the difference between with and without the feature pack (I think it's 5 with and 3 without.)

"using namespace" in header leads to symbol problems

jan p. springer — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 15:13:38 -0000

SpiritParser.h opens boost::spirit with a using namespace declaration. involuntary use of the header elsewhere may lead to symbols in libcppdom to be used by applications at runtime on newer compilers (e.g., gcc version 4.4.3 on fedora 12). the attached patch corrects this.

Need to add #include <cstring> to pull in the strchr function.

getCdata() returns bogus results

Josh Brown — Wed, 11 Jun 2003 07:11:44 -0000

When returning the cdata from a xml tree the getCdata()
method applies to situations where one might have the
following:

<model>mymodel</model>

The method returns a string, which is supposed to be
the C data; in the above case it would be 'mymodel'.
This method however will always return at least a 6
character string. So in the event that someone might
do something like:

<model>tent</model> the method returns: 'tent '
which is of course incorrect.

Hope this is an easy fix.

There is a bug when parsing comments

The following went through ok.

But this one failed

If there is a trailing space before closing tag everything
works ok, if not it fails.

Specialization needed for getValue<T>()

Patrick Hartling — Mon, 20 May 2002 15:28:35 -0000

The method cppdom::XMLAttribute::getValue<T>() needs to
be specialized for std::string. Right now, it returns
only the first word of the attribute's value if the
value contains spaces.
