why are contenthandler and errorhandler not pure interfaces ?

[Fabrice Toledano Expway]

Hi,

I can't link *without Xerces lib* my app, using those 2 Xerces includes, "sax2/contenthandler.hpp" and "sax2/errorhandler.hpp"). I want my app to receive a pointer on that interface from a client, and then use it, so my app should not need Xerces library to build.

 

In fact after a try, it's just because of those private methods present in what I believed should be an interface :

 

(here for contenthandler, it's the same for errorhandler)

 

private :
    /* Unimplemented Constructors and operators */
    /* Copy constructor */
    ContentHandler(const ContentHandler&);
    /** Assignment operator */
    void operator=(const ContentHandler&);

 

Except commenting those 2 functions in the hpp file, I don't see how to avoid linking with the library, any idea ?

 

Moreover, what does the 'unimplemented' word stand for here ?

 

Maybe I missed something,

 

Thanks !
