Note: I am using 2.5.11 as that is what I use on my unix versions
1) I finally got the projects in order and manually modified the
xmlversion.h file and fixed a link for that file (as it is include in one
place and used in the build script in another). I could provide
documentation on what I did but the consensus seemed to be not to use the
projects anyway, so I probably did it the dumb way, but I'm happy being
dumb :-)
2) I got it linked statically into my application and almost everything
worked as well as unix with one exception --> if dumping a document to
stdout I would loose all or part of it. After much hunting and agony I had
to patch xmlIO.c as such just before the "return(0)" for stdout and stdin:
if (fil == stdout || fil == stderr)
fflush(fil);
Which routine exactly ? I can probably find it myself, but I
would rather make sure I do exactly the same change...
It was too late to do it in my program which does a xmlSaveFormatFile(...)
-> e.g.:
xmlSaveFormatFile()
fflush(stdout);
does not work.
I did not get to the where/how/why of it, only that my patch works. I
suspect it is partially application dependent in that my stdin and stdout
and stderr are pipes to another process ... BUT ... since a close
normally (logically) does a flush and then a close, it is probably a good
idea and good practice to go ahead and flush the buffers as I did (because
you correctly do NOT close stderr and stdout, but ... the flush should
occur).
yeah, if stdout the flush is missing, I agree. Usually stderr flushes
automatically (or at least at each end of line), but it's fine doing so.
I can always make the change again in future versions so I have not
heartache if this change is not made,
but I would ask that the powers that be consider it :-)
:-) Of course !
