[Expat-discuss] how XML_Parse work with processing instruction?

[Chen Ming]

Hi everyone, I try the following code both in VC7 and Dev-CPP.
But XML_Parse function seems can't work properly with processing
instruction like <?xml version="1.0" ?>

In the following code,the first time XML_Parse is called for string
"<?xml", it return XML_STATUS_OK; but the seconde time for string
"version="1.0"", it return XML_STATUS_ERROR,and error string form
XML_ErrorString is "not well-formed (invalid token)". If I remove the
processing instruction, everything is ok.

I guess maybe the usage of file stream has problem, but can't get it clear
, can somebody explain this error?
