Maybe I'm just blind, but I couldn't find out how to do the following (using xerces-c-src1_7_0.tar.gz):
I implement ContentHandler (SAX2), and override the "character" method. Now this method has the signature void characters (const XMLCh *const chars, const unsigned int length) i.e. it seems to get a not-null-terminated XMLCh string. I need to convert this string to a std::string for further processing, but I haven't got the slightest idea how to do that. XMLString::transcode() & co only work on null-terminated XMLCh strings. Bad. Going over XMLString::CopyNString () could be possible, but according to the description it awaits a null-terminated string as well, so using it for some random, unterminated snippet is IMHO unsafe. Looking at samples/SAX2Print/ it seems that a possible way is to implement XMLFormatTarget::writeChars () [undocumented], pass it to XMLFormatter::formatBuf () [undocumented] and let it construct a std::string by casting the XMLByte* parameter to char * . Which is ugly and unsafe. So - Is there a simple solution for this problem?
