Re: [Bug-apl] XML to APL

[Elias Mårtenson]

The multiplexer function was my idea. The idea was to not be dependent on a given C++ implementation's ABI and instead dispatch calls through a function with C-linkage.

This didn't work because it turned out that the modules needs lots and lots of access to the innards of GNU APL, so even if the entry point is standard C, the rest is still C++.

So, I officially apologise for the extra complexity.

Elias

In that case, I'll attempt to use xerces. I say "attempt" because I get to the multiplexer function (when trying to wrap C++ code)and then I kind of can't follow the rest of it.

It's using the Apache license so that shouldn't be a problem. Especially since you're not actually using the code but merely linking with it.

Elias,

I was informed that xerces is not GNU compatible. I was pointed to a lib that is GNU friendly (its name escapes me at the moment). I will try to wrap that one.

The standard one peopl euse seems to be Xerces-C (they have both C and C++<br/>API's): https://xerces.apache.org/xerces-c/ This one is probably the best<br/>choice if you want to make sure it's stable and fully compliant.<br/><br/>When googling for alternatives I found this one that people seems to like a<br/>lot.
