[Expat-discuss] Problem with XML_Parse segmentation fault.

[Janeene Webb]

Hi,

I'm trying to use expat for the first time, so have made and sorted out a lot 
of dumb mistakes so far.

I'm now at the point where I can send to the parser a read in file buffer, 
but:
A.  If the buffer array is larger than the read in file, I get a malformed XML 
error on the line after where the file actually ends,
   Or
B. If the buffer array is smaller than the overall file size, I get a 
segmentation fault somewhere before the end of the file. It faults at a 
different point for each buffer size specified, and will fault out on the 
second pass regardless of the size of the buffer (so if there should have 
been 4 passes still segfaults on the second).

It's probably another error due to not having used expat before, but I'm at a 
loss as to where to go from here. Any assistance greatly appreciated.

The other query I had is how to call the XML_GetCurrentLineNumber function 
from within the parser's character handler - I haven't been able to work this 
one out.

Cheers,
Janeene Webb.
