Pass QXmlStreamReader Instance to Class
-
I am trying to read an XML document using QXmlStreamReader. I am running into issues when I try to pass a pointer to the reader to other classes. I create an instance of the reader in one class. That class reads the XML until it comes to a block defining a new class. I create and instance of the new class and then call a function in that class to continue reading the XML specific for it. For instance:
@void SF_UnitClass::ReadModes()
{
Q_ASSERT(XML.isStartElement() && XML.name() == MODES);
NumModes = XML.attributes().value(COUNT).toInt();
while (XML.readNextStartElement())
{
if (XML.name() == MODE)
{
ModeClass* pMode = new ModeClass(this);
ModeList += XML.attributes().value(ID).toString();
pMode->ReadXML(&XML);
{
}
}
else
{
XML.raiseError(QObject::tr("Something other than Mode block encountered in Modes block"));
}
}
}

This works part way through the file but then the reader seems to forget what level its at. readNextStartElement() returns false when it shouldn't. The file is fine as I took a TreeWidget example and customized it for my use and it reads the whole file just fine. I am thinking that for some reason I cannot pass a pointer to the reader to another classes function to continue reading the XML? -
You can pass. We use everywhere. You can pass. Some of the sample methods we have are
@ void readCompanyNew(QXmlStreamReader *par);
void readProjectNew(QXmlStreamReader *par);I am calling them like
readCompanyNew(&parser);
readProjectNew(&parser);@

if you want the complete sample, drop email to me. I will send you the complete solution dump.

Thanks but I think its in my code somewhere but I am missing it. I am finding it hard to debug because I don't know why readNextStartElement() is returning a false where it should not. Here is a sample of my XML. My code reads all the <Channel> blocks fine. It then it reads the <Servos> start element and the first <Servo> block fine but then gets a false from readNextStartElement() when it should read the next <Servo> start element and goes all the way back up to my Mode loop. Just need to figure out why it does not read the second servo block. Thanks.

OK, solved. My inexperience in dealing with the XML reader. I missed a case in my switch statement which caused an item to be missed and put things out of sequence. I need to add a default with a skipCurrentElement or raise an error. Thanks for all the feedback, it helped me catch this.
