Re: [xml] Re: How to validate?

[Petr Novak <novak merlot ics muni cz>]

Hi all,
thanks for advise, it works. But I have any more the following question:
How can I return data from handler function?
I have something like this:

void validateHandler(void *pUserData, xmlErrorPtr pError){
	...
	// Here I find non-valid element and I need to log it and distribute
	// some information about it to the funciton "validate"
}

bool validate(){
	...
	xmlSetStructuredErrorFunc(Context, (*validateHandler));
	xmlValidateDocument(Context, Document);
	...
	// Here I need know something like the type of the node which is
	// non-valid.
}

I can assign anything to pUserData, but I cannot obtain it back in the
"validate" function. I though that it will be written to validation context,
but that were not changed.
If I try to assign it to the pError->ctxt->userData, it crashes with
"Unprivileged Memory Access" message.

Can you advise me again?

Thank you very much
