i can't even load a tinyXml doc! help please!

[unclepauly]

hi,

i am new to tiny xml.  i have built from source using VS.NET 2003.  i have built the non-STL version.  then, in my app, i link to tinyxmld.lib and use this code:

    TiXmlDocument doc("C:/scene.xml");
    doc.LoadFile();

but the app crashes at doc.LoadFile().   it says 'unhandled exception - user breakpoint'.   what the hell have i done wrong?  i have only written 2 lines and im pretty sure these are right!

If you replace the "/" with "\\" and make sure the file is there, does it still crash?

hi,

yes i have already tried that.  the file is defintely there.  any more ideas?

[Ellers]

some ideas:

- what happens when you debug the process? Where does the stack trace say the exception originates?

- don't link a .lib file; build the .cpp files directly into your app. I always do this with TinyXml because its, well, tiny.

- post the XML here. Maybe its something to do with that. Post the complete program (if there is anything more to it)

my app is quite large, it is an Ogre 3D app.  but,  i think this something to do with my app settings because i just created a new console app and added just the above 2 lines and i can step through this fine.

i cannot step through the code when it happens, it says 'there is no available source code available for the current loaction'.

i will try and build directly into my app without a lib file and see what happens now.

thanks fof your help.

i have just been on the ogre forums and it seems there are some known issues in this area.  building everything in release works just fine - its debug that causes the crash.  take a look if you want - http://www.ogre3d.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=163438&sid=ae70f7de1a5b389048a8ec733d53d30e
