I want to append/insert additional data to an xml file. Context: I use gccxml to parse C header files. gccxml creates an xml file containing all the definitions from the header files. The xml files may be somewhat largish, for 'windows.h' it has more than 5 MB.
Since the xml does not contain #define statements, I want to run gccxml again with the --preprocess and -dM flags, which dumps out the #define'd symbols. I want this information also to be in the same file, but simply appending it to the xml smells hackish, and I don't know if the latter xml parsing stage can get this additional data with an error handler, or somehow else. Maybe I can find the end of the xml data myself, before giving it to the sax parser. Better, imo, would be to add the dumped info into a proper xml tag, and inject it into the original file. Is that (efficiently) possible? Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
