<br>We have had the same problem running on<b> Solaris 8 </b>using <b>Jabber
1.4.1</b> and <b>Conference 0.4.1</b>
<br>We have tracked the problem to the function <i>xmlnode_insert_node() </i>
in the file <i>xmlnode.c</i> of the
<br>Jabber server.
<p>The fix to the problem is to change the following statement in the function
<i>xmlnode_insert_data()</i>
:
<p><i>xmlnode_insert_cdata(parent, xmlnode_get_data(node), xmlnode_get_datasz(node));</i>
<p>This statement will work if the function <i>xmlnode_get_datasz()</i>
is evaluated before
<br><i>xmlnode_get_data()</i>. This is clearly not the case on my version
of the jabber server compiled on Solaris with gcc. The 'C' standard does
not specify the order of evaluation of functions/expresssions that are
passed as parameters to a function, it only says that they will be evaluated
- the order of which is implementation dependent (which explains
why it works on some systems).
<p>To fix the problem we changed the statement to the following:
<p><i> int dataSize</i>
<br><i> ...</i>
<br><i> dataSize = xmlnode_get_datasz(node);</i>
<br><i> xmlnode_insert_cdata(parent, xmlnode_get_data(node),
dataSize);</i>
<p>to ensures that <i>xmlnode_get_datasz()</i> is evaluated first.
<p>This works for us; if there is another fix for this please let us know.
