Are you sure you're *only* getting garbage? strncpy() doesn't null-terminate
unless the number of characters to copy is at least equal to the length of
the input string. Unless trancodeTo() null-terminates (which it may, for all
I know), I'd expect fLocalForm to contain the transcoded character followed
by whatever garbage was in the buffer when malloc() gave it to you. A
quick-and-dirty test would be to allocate your buffer with calloc() (which
sets all the bytes in the buffer to 0) instead.

Subject: Transcoding help
I'm still struggling trying to figure this transcoding stuff out.
Given and XMLCh* toTranscode (which was in ISO8859-1 when it was read in) I
want to print out the ISO8859-1 encoding of that string.
I do something like this:
XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
XMLTransService::Codes resCode;
transcoder =
XMLPlatformUtils::fgTransService->makeNewTranscoderFor("ISO-8859-1",
resCode, 8192);
XMLByte bufToFill[8192];
unsigned int bytesEaten;
const XMLTranscoder::UnRepOpts unRepOpts = XMLTranscoder::UnRep_Throw;
transcoder->transcodeTo(toTranscode, (unsigned int)1, bufToFill, 8192,
bytesEaten, unRepOpts);
fLocalForm = (char*)malloc(bytesEaten + 1);
strncpy(fLocalForm, (char*)bufToFill, bytesEaten);
cout << fLocalForm << endl;
That chunk of code should only take the first character of toTranscode and
send that to bufToFill as an ISO8859-1 string. I then copy that string into
a regular unsigned char*. I know I'm doing something wrong because all I
get is garbage and no exception thrown. Any and all help would be
appreciated.
