Xerces memory leak on Windows when deleting a parser that the DOM_Document has been accessed

[David Bonnecaze]

Hello,

Using Xerces 1.5.1
MS VC++ 6.0 sp5
window 2000 OS

This I found to be very strange. In my testing to be able to open multiple
xml files I found a memory leak that occurs once the DOM_Document is gotten
from the DOMParser.  Even though the DOMParser is reset and/or deleted, and
the DOM_Document is reset using the DOMParser resetDocument, memory is still
held.  The lions share of memory used by the DOMParser, I might add.

The code I used to test this was simple:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
        XMLPlatformUtils::Initialize();
        DOMParser* parser = new DOMParser;
  parser->setValidationScheme(DOMParser::Val_Auto); // validate if dtd
present
  parser->setIncludeIgnorableWhitespace(false) ;

  parser->parse("..\\dat\\persxml.dat") ;
  DOM_Document& theDoc = parser->getDocument() ;
  parser->resetDocument() ;
  parser->reset() ;

  parser->parse("..\\dat\\persopts.xml",true) ;
  delete parser ;

  XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate();

  return 0 ;
  
}

Keep in mind that even after the delete memory was still allocated.

I searched the archives but found no solution to this problem.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Regards,
David
