Hello All,

I'm running Windows 2003, VS 2005.

I've got a Win32 console app with the code from:
http://www.sleepycat.com/xmldocs/int...ogramming.html

line for line. It builds fine. Running it I get this error:

HEAP[XmlDb.exe]: Invalid allocation size - CCCCCC10 (exceeded 7ffdefff)
First-chance exception at 0x77e55dea in XmlDb.exe: Microsoft C++
exception: std::bad_alloc at memory location 0x0012f904..
HEAP[XmlDb.exe]: Invalid allocation size - CCCCCC01 (exceeded 7ffdefff)

exception: std::bad_alloc at memory location 0x0012f2bc..
The program '[864] XmlDb.exe: Native' has exited with code 0 (0x0).

Stepping through the code and the error is thrown on the second line of
execution:

int main( ... )
{
try
{
XmlManager mgr;
// error occurs here
XmlContainer cont = mgr.createContainer("phone3.dbxml");
...

Any help resolving this is much appreciated.

Thank you,
Ron Young

Hi Ron,

I don't know that I've seen errors like this before. Have you got all
of the correct DLLs in your PATH variable? Could there be other
versions of DB XML or Berkeley DB installed on your system? Are you
using the windows installer version of DB XML? If so, could you try
building it from the source distribution, to see if that helps?

John

John,

The PATH variable points to the DB XML install bin directory. On a
clean system (Win2003), I downloaded/installed dbxml-2.2.13.msi.
I can follow along with the samples at
http://www.sleepycat.com/xmldocs/intro_xml/running.html, where it uses
the dbxml command prompt to interact with the system. When I try to run
any of the dbxml_example programs though, I get that same error.

I'm going to try building from the source and see how that goes.

Thanks for the reply,
Ron

John,

Building the source per the documentation has resolved the errors. I
can build working apps now.

Thanks again,
Ron
