Re: Xalan C crashing on XML comments

It's hard to say without knowing what the assertion is.  Can you post the
text of the assertion?

Hello,

While working with Xalan C 1.1 on Redhat Linux 6.1, I discovered that the
following document causes the XPathWrapper to die on an assertion:

*********************************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<!--
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="test.xsl"?>
<?xml-stylesheet
type="text/xml" href="testNumberTwo.xsl"?>
-->

<root>
</root>
********************************


However, this document passes fine:
*********************************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

<root>
</root>
*********************************

I therefore conclude that the Xalan parser is reading and parsing
comments in a way that can cause it to give incorrect results.

I'm using '/' for my context, and '//*' for the expression, as args to
XPathWrapper (I don't think the arguments will change this behavior).

Any ideas? What's going on?

Thank you for your time!
Matt
