This example shows how to use a custom memory allocator implementation with the Embedded C++/Hybrid mapping. It is based on the 'minimal' example (so the support for STL, iostream, and C++ exceptions is disabled) and the only changes made are to the memory management. The example consists of the following files: people.xsd XML Schema which describes a collection of person records. people.xml Sample XML instance document. people.hxx people.cxx people-pskel.hxx people-pskel.cxx people-pimpl.hxx people-pimpl.cxx people-pskel.hxx people-pskel.cxx people-pimpl.hxx people-pimpl.cxx Object model (the first pair of files), parser skeletons (the second pair), parser implementations (the third pair), serializer skeletons (the fourth pair), and serializer implementations (the fifth pair). These files are generated by the XSD/e compiler from people.xsd. The --generate-parser, --generate-serializer, --generate-aggregate, --no-stl, --no-iostream, and --no-exceptions options were used to request the generation of the parsing and serialization code as well as to disable the use of STL, iostream, and C++ exceptions. Furthermore, the --custom-allocator option was specific to make the generated code use custom memory management functions instead of the standard new and delete operators. arena.hxx arena.cxx An implementation of a simple pooled memory allocator. driver.cxx Driver for the example. Besides the implementation of the main() function, this file also provides the implementations of the custom memory management function, xsde_alloc, xsde_realloc, and xsde_free, that are used by the XSD/e runtime and the generated code. The driver first sets up the memory pool using a stack-allocated memory region. It then calls the parser that constructs the object model from the input XML file. After that the driver prints the content of the object model to STDERR. Finally, the driver modifies the object model and calls the serializer to serialize it back to XML. The implementation also prints the memory usage statistics after parsing and after serialization. To run the example on the sample XML instance document simply execute: $ ./driver people.xml The example reads from STDIN if input file is not specified: $ ./driver
