[libxml++] problem with utf8 xml file parsing ('Glib::ConvertError')

[Nicolas <ni...@pi...>]

Hello!

I tried to parse utf8 .xml files with the sample program 
example/sax_parser/ (i've tried with both 2.20 and 2.23 versions). The 
program crash during the execution at the position of the first utf8 
char with the  following message : "terminate called after throwing an 
instance of 'Glib::ConvertError'
 20 Abandon (core dumped)"

for exemple here is the result output for the parsing of 
http://packs.shtooka.net/chi-balm-hsk1/ogg/index.xml
-------------
 on_start_document()
 node name=index
 on_characters():
 
 node name=group
   Attribute swac_lang = chi
   Attribute swac_speak_name = Wei Gao
   Attribute swac_speak_gender = M
   Attribute swac_speak_birth_year = 1979
   Attribute swac_speak_lang = chi
   Attribute swac_speak_lang_country = CH
   Attribute swac_speak_lang_region = Pekin
   Attribute swac_speak_liv_country = CH
   Attribute swac_speak_liv_town = Pekin
   Attribute swac_pron_speed = 1
   Attribute swac_coll_name = Base Audio Libre de Mots Chinois
   Attribute swac_coll_section = HSK 1
   Attribute swac_coll_desc =
 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Glib::ConvertError'
 Abandon (core dumped)
                                   
(There is a the following content header at the begining of the xml file 
: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>)

What could I do to solve the problem?
Regards,
Nicolas

In C++ you need to catch exceptions to prevent crashes. 

And you need to find out what part of your code caused an exception to
be thrown.

Are you using std::cout? std::cout does not understand UTF-8, so
Glib::ustring tries to convert first.

Have you tried your XML document with one of the libxml++ examples?
