debbugger hangs

[Mickael Faivre-Macon]

Hi,

This simple declaration makes my debbugger hang:

   TiXmlDocument doc;

When tracing the calls, I get to this:

// tinyxml.cpp

TiXmlDocument::TiXmlDocument() : TiXmlNode( TiXmlNode::DOCUMENT )
{
    tabsize = 4;
    ClearError(); //  HERE
}

then ClearError() is called :

// tinyxml.h

    void ClearError()                        {    error = false;
                                                errorId = 0;
                                                errorDesc = ""; // HERE
                                                errorLocation.row = errorLocation.col = 0;
                                                //errorLocation.last = 0;
                                            }

then errorDesc is assigned "", but the strange thing is that the STL is called.
Why is that ?

// _string.h

  _Self& operator=(const _CharT* __s) { // hang on this very first line
    _STLP_FIX_LITERAL_BUG(__s)
    return assign(__s, __s + traits_type::length(__s));
  }

I am using Borland C++ Builder.

My guess would be that you have an inconsistency in your build. Try to rebuild everything.
If that doesn't help, you may try to use a third-party STL library.
You may also use the non-STL version by undefining TIXML_USE_STL.

Hi, I found the bug.
It was not related to TinyXML so I have to reassure you guys. Sorry.

I don't know why but WIN32 was not defined and when including winsock2.h the packing size was changed.

// winsock2.h

#if !defined(WIN32) && !defined(_WIN64)
#include <pshpack4.h>
// This was included but shouldn't have been
#endif

[...]

#if !defined(WIN32) && !defined(_WIN64)
#include <poppack.h>
// But this wasn't !!! Really strange
#endif

I have defined WIN32 in the project options, and no bug anymore.... Still don't know why WIN32 is not defined.... But __WIN32__ is....

Anyway, the packing size was changed and this fucked up the STL.
