Attribute(const string& name, double* d) ??

[John-Philip Leonard Johansson]

Hi!

I noticed that the std::string versions of Attribute just call the const char* versions. And that's all nice and good. My only question is, why isn't there a double* version of Attribute() using std::string? There's an int version so... I mean, it's only

const char* Attribute( const std::string& name, double* d ) const  { return Attribute( name.c_str(), d ); }

and it's done... Why isn't there one already? The int version looks exactly the same.

The development code has a "double" form. It will be available in the next release.

int/double overloading is a pain to use, so the method is:

GetDoubleAttribute()

I've checked out the latest code from the CVS and I don't see either GetDoubleAttribute() nor a Attribute( const std::string& name, double* d ). Where did they go? =/

I was very worried there for a minute...but they are there. I pulled this out of CVSWEB, so it is checked in.

All members of the TiXmlElement class:

const char* Attribute( const char* name ) const;
const char* Attribute( const char* name, int* i ) const;
const char* Attribute( const char* name, double* d ) const;
int QueryIntAttribute( const char* name, int* value ) const;
int QueryDoubleAttribute( const char* name, double* value ) const;

what I meant was the std::string version for double =) rechecked, the ones you said are there. that's why it should be easy to make a Attribute that takes a std::string and a double, as in my original post.

Sorry! missed that point in a panic that I may have whacked some methods out of source.

Added bug.
