XXXDOM

To bypass a memory leak with the XDOM functions in Universe 10.2.0 on AIX 5.3, I simulated some key functions as subroutines. They were about 30% slower than the native functions & do not attempt to recreate all the functionality, but they are infinitely more reliable, because they don't leak memory. YMMV.

For reference, here are some things that didn't help:

• XDOMClose() didn't close the XDOM objects.
• The issues fixed in the release notes for UV 10.2.7 & 10.2.12 were not specific enough for the company's appetite for an upgrade.

Contents:

• XXXDOMInclude - declare constants used by the other routines
• XXXDOMWrite - simulate XDOMWrite(), returns status code in first argument
• XXXDOMClose - simulate XDOMClose(), returns status code in first argument
• XXXDOMCreateNode - simulate XDOMCreateNode(), returns status code in first argument
• XXXDOMAddChild - simulate XDOMAddChild(), returns status code in first argument
• XXXDOMCreateRoot - simulate XDOMCreateRoot(), returns status code in first argument

To deploy: Save the 6 programs in the same source code file. Compile & catalog the subroutines.

To use: Call each subroutine with the same arguments as you would use each referenced function, except that the status code is returned in the first subroutine argument.

Please note the limitations in the comments of each program. This is not a replacement for the XDOM functions, and the node variables are not compatible with the internal structures produced by XDOM functions. It's just a workaround that worked for us, and will be easy to extend or replace.
