Re: Unbuffered FormatterToXML behavior

[David N Bertoni/CAM/Lotus]

How about just using a no-op flush function?  That way, there's no special
case.

I'm trying to use an unbuffered FormatterToXML object and I'm
encountering an assertion in flushChars because m_charBuf.size() == 0.
I think that this can easily be fixed by changing
FormatterToXML.flushFunction to NULL if the output is not buffered and
changing FormatterToXML::endDocument() as follows:

void
FormatterToXML::endDocument()
{
-          assert(m_flushFunction != 0);

           if(m_doIndent == true && m_isprevtext == false)
           {
                     outputLineSep();
           }
+          if (m_flushFunction != 0)
-          (this->*m_flushFunction)()
                     (this->*m_flushFunction)();

           flushWriter();
}

Let me know if this is a known problem and if my fix is reasonable.
Right now, I guess that it is not possible to do unbuffered XML
output.
