[reSIProcate] ParseBuffer::Exception thrown in XMLCursor::firstChild()

[David Hogan]

Hi,

 

I believe I have discovered a bug in XMLCursor::parseNextRootChild (),
in the case of calling XMLCursor::firstChild() on a document that has a
single self terminating root tag with no children, for example:
'<root_tag /> '.

 

After what is assumed to be an opening tag is skipped, along with any
following whitespace, calling 

 

mRoot->mPb.position()

 

Results in the construction of a Pointer that has a false mIsValid due
to eof() returning true. When that Pointer is dereferenced via the
overloaded * operator, a ParseBuffer::Exception exception is thrown due
to mIsValid being false.

 

I'm using resiprocate 1.1, although I believe the issue remains in trunk
and the 1.2 branch.

 

Cheers,

David Hogan
