Problem with parsing specific content

[Jaroslaw Baranowski]

Hi, I have a question whether the following is a bug. I use TiXml 2.5.3.

--- code: ---
#include <iostream>
#include "include/tinyxml.h"

int main()
{
    TiXmlDocument TestDocument;
    std::cout << std::boolalpha << "Parsing error: " << TestDocument.Error() << std::endl;
    TestDocument.Parse( "<" );
    std::cout << "Parsing error: " << TestDocument.Error() << std::endl;
    std::cout << "Root element: " << TestDocument.RootElement() << std::endl;
}

--- result: ---
Parsing error: false
Parsing error: false
Root element: 0

What concerns me is the fact that Error() returns false when there is no root element. I suspect that '<' is the suspect here as I have seen some explicit checks for it in TinyXml code. When doing the same test with '>' as only content the strange behavior does not occur.
I think that this is incorrect behavior. If it is indeed so I will try to make a patch for it.

Just to mention - compiled on SUSE 10.1 with gcc 4.1.0

Best Regards,
