Re: xml callbacks and offline list reading

Hurrms, just as an experiment I modified the Element callbacks as follows :

     int balance = 0;
     int count   = 0;
     int depth   = 0;
     /*
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
     */
     /*    EXPAT HANDLERS         */
     /*
     -------------------------------------------------------------------------
     */

     PRIVATE void XML_startElement (void * userData,
                      const XML_Char * name, const XML_Char ** atts)
     {
       /*
         HTPrint("Start....... %s\n", name ? name : "<null>");
       */
         balance ++;
         count ++;
         if ( depth < balance ) depth = balance;
     }

     PRIVATE void XML_endElement (void * userData,
             const XML_Char * name)
     {
       /*
         HTPrint("End......... %s\n", name ? name : "<null>");
       */
         balance --;
     }

Then I modified the terminate handler to report these collected numbers as
follows :


     PRIVATE int terminate_handler (HTRequest * request, HTResponse *
     response,
               void * param, int status)
     {
         /* We are done with this request */
         HTRequest_delete(request);
         /*
           HTPrint("If you didn't see any tags then it is likely that
     your document wasn't xml\n");
         */
         /* report balance and depth */
         HTPrint( "There were %d Element tags, which were %s balanced and
     reached a depth of %d\n",
           count, ( balance ? "not" : "" ), depth );

         /* Terminate libwww */
         HTProfile_delete();

         exit(0);
     }

This gave the following output when run :


     [bancroft@frege Examples]$ ./showxml

     Done!
     There were 41 Element tags, which were  balanced and reached a depth
     of 3


Along the way, I did notice that the libtool does not play nicely with gdb.
What is up with


     [bancroft@frege Examples]$ nm showxml
     nm: showxml: File format not recognized
