Improvement: Detect self reference on 'Insert...'
Hi there,
today I managed to produce a stupid error by copy&pasting.
Here is the minimal code snipplet:
// <foo>
auto *pElement = xmlDoc.NewElement("foo");
pElement->InsertEndChild( pElement );
/\
|__ this should have been some other parent element
The problems with the construct is that it compiles and appears to run fine until the xmlDoc is destroyed.
Then some assertions in the clean up code are triggered. Now I could see that there was a problem, but it took me some hours to
understand (and finally see) what the problem was.
I suggest to add an assertion that the pointer handed to 'InsertChildElement()' is != this What do you think?
Best regards, Sven
