--------------------------------------

             Summary: (windows build) Generated resource file has trailing Nulls which appears to not compile correctly
                 Key: XERCESC-2231
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2231
             Project: Xerces-C++
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: 3.2.3, 3.2.2
         Environment: Windows CMAKE build
            Reporter: Rod Widdowson


We just noticed this but I suspect it goes back a long way.  Our build of xerces is notably short of string resources:

I could go back to find out when this started if needs be, but I'd guess it started when the project moved to CMAKE.

the Generated rc file looks suspicious
