libxml2 with C++ exception

Show all headers | View raw

Hello,

I' using for XML parsing the libxml2 library and I use the native C 
interface (not the C++ bindings). I parse a std::string with this code
        const char* l_xmlcontent = p_xml.c_str();
        xmlDocPtr l_xml          = xmlParseMemory( l_xmlcontent, 
strlen(l_xmlcontent) );

p_xml is a std::string. In some cases the XML data within the string 
can't be valid and I get the correct message:
Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found

The message is shown on the command line on each time, but I would like 
to catch the error and would like to throw an exception. A try-catch 
statement around the xmlParseMemory does not work. I've found some 
notes that I can use a callback function, which is run on an error, but 
I don't find any information for the implementation.

I hope my question isn't off-topic and anyonw can help me to create on 
a parser error a correct exception

Thanks

Phil
