[xsd-users] Question on Tree FAQ

[Iain Sharp]

Hi Folks,

A bit off topic, but can I raise a question on the tree FAQ (http://wiki.codesynthesis.com/Tree/FAQ)?

In the example routine to create an xerces Doc the code gets a raw (non-smart) pointer to a DOMImplementation with the line:
  DOMImplementation* impl (
    DOMImplementationRegistry::getDOMImplementation (ls_id))

However, this pointer is not explicitly released in the code. For a real application where this might be called multiple times does that pointer need to be released somewhere to avoid a memory leak?

The Xerces documentation seems unclear as to whether this is a newly created instance or just a pointer to a static instance.

Regards

Iain
