Re: Expat and C++ ?

Use a pointer to your object as the user data when you create the parser.

e.g.

if (parser)
{
   XML_ParserReset(parser, 0);
   XML_SetUserData(parser, this); // give our object pointer as context
   XML_SetElementHandler(parser, DStartTag, DEndTag); // set the tag 
callbacks
   XML_SetCharacterDataHandler(parser, DTextHandler); // set the text 
callbacks
}


then just create stub functions to call back into your class

e.g.

void XMLCALL DStartTag(void *data, const XML_Char *name, const XML_Char 
**atts)
{
   ((XMLReader *)data)->StartTag(name, atts);
}
