Building C++ XML projects (Windows)

Building C++ XML projects (Windows) with Liquid XML 2016

Setup

First, generate your library from your XML Schema. This generates a .dsp file for Visual C++ 6.0 as well as .vcproj/.vcxproj files for Visual C++ 7.1, 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 and 14.0. Then you can create a new project for your application using Microsoft Visual Studio 6, 2003, 2005, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 or 2015.

Using a shared CRT

This demonstrates how to prevent heap asserts when objects are cleaned up. (See also GPF when using strings).

In debug the CRT keeps track of all the memory it allocated, when memory is deleted it checks to see it actually allocated it. If it didn't it asserts. If you link your project statically against the CRT ib (/ML, /MLd, /MT, /MTd), then the dll, and the exe have their own version of the CRT, and thus 2 lists of memory that have been allocated. A problem arises if memory is allocated in one and freed in another. Linking against the shared CRT DLL (/MD,/MDd) solves this problem.

Change C++ Compiler Options

For an Exe

Debug - /MLd to /MDd

Release - /ML to /MD

For a Dll

Debug - /MTd to /MDd

Release - /MT to /MD

Also you will need to Enable Run-Time Type Information (RTTI):

Add the /GR compile option to all builds

Linking to your Libray

In order to use the generated code you must link to it, and also to our runtime library. This section describes the libraries you must link to and the library paths that need setting up.

NOTE: When you build your library from the generated code, Visual Studio defaults to Static Debug as Active Configuration.

Include Files

Your new project needs access to the standard header files we distribute, and the header files that you generated (when you ran the wizard).

Ensure visual studio can see the following include paths:

[Liquid Technologies install dir]\XMLDataBinder14\Redist14\cpp\include

[The path where you generated you XML Binding Library to]

Running the code

Your new project needs access to the standard Liquid Technologies Runtime dll, and the dll that you compiled from the new XML Data Binding component you just generated.

Ensure the dlls are on the path or in the same directory as the target file.

Note: x64 and XP specific libraries are also provided.
