[Expat-discuss] A bug in expat? CharacterData callback

[beni lerner]

Hi everybody,
I understood that when calling XML_parse I give the parser an xml buffer 
which should be parsed, and the parser uses my callback
functions to give me the elements it found and the attributes and data of 
the elements. If I understood right, the parser gives me pointers to the 
same buffer I entered (that why they are const pointers).
But when it finds a NEWLINE character, it does this:

file: xmlparse.c
function: doContent
line: 1376

case XML_TOK_DATA_NEWLINE:
    if (characterDataHandler)
    {
      XML_Char c = 0xA;
      characterDataHandler(handlerArg, &c, 1);
    }
    else if (defaultHandler)
      reportDefault(parser, enc, s, next);
    break;

This means that it gives me a pointer to a local character c, which is 
filled by 0xA. The memory of this character may be overridden by other 
variables! Is this correct?
Please helllp me!!!
Thanks.
