using libxml2
Is anyone familiar with the libxml2 library?
I want to use it in a c++ program but I believe there are some problems with that. I think the libxml2 library uses words that are reserved in c++, it even uses new as a variable.
Any advice at all is greatly appreciated.

Gamgee,

So long as your library is compiled with a C compiler (which it will have to be), you won't have any problems. libxml2 is perfectly content with C, even though the xml movement seems hell bent on using python for everything.

If it does, it is used internally, so won't affect your C++ program. In the event that it's declared in one of the header files, wrap it in:

Code:
extern "C" {
  #include <xml.h>
}


That should keep your C code from irritating your C++ compiler. I think that this wrapping is already done internally by the header file though.
