The problem appears to be in this initialization on line 579:

const XML_Char** p (atts);

Changing it to use assignment makes the errors go away:

const XML_Char** p = atts;

I thought Microsoft fixed this kind of problems (which are quite
common in VC 6.0) in 7.1 but apparently not all of them.

Thanks for reporting this!
