Problems with Symbols, High Severity (3)

tinystr.h, libtinyxml.so
[+] TiXmlString::append ( char const* str, int len ) (1)

changed to:
TiXmlString::append ( char const* str, size_t len )

	Change	Effect
1	Parameters list has been changed.	The name of the appropriate symbol for this function on binary level has been changed from _ZN11TiXmlString6appendEPKci to _ZN11TiXmlString6appendEPKcj. This may cause "undefined reference" linker error in old client applications.

tinyxml.h, libtinyxml.so
[+] TiXmlNode::IterateChildren ( char const* value, TiXmlNode* previous ) const (1)

changed to:
TiXmlNode::IterateChildren ( TiXmlNode const* previous ) const

	Change	Effect
1	Parameters list has been changed.	The name of the appropriate symbol for this function on binary level has been changed from _ZNK9TiXmlNode15IterateChildrenEPKcPS_ to _ZNK9TiXmlNode15IterateChildrenEPKS_. This may cause "undefined reference" linker error in old client applications.

[+] TiXmlNode::IterateChildren ( TiXmlNode* previous ) const (1)

changed to:
TiXmlNode::IterateChildren ( TiXmlNode const* previous ) const

	Change	Effect
1	Parameters list has been changed.	The name of the appropriate symbol for this function on binary level has been changed from _ZNK9TiXmlNode15IterateChildrenEPS_ to _ZNK9TiXmlNode15IterateChildrenEPKS_. This may cause "undefined reference" linker error in old client applications.

Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (2)

tinystr.h
[+] class TiXmlString (2)

	Change	Effect
1	Type of field allocated has been changed from unsigned int to size_t.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.
2	Type of field current_length has been changed from unsigned int to size_t.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.
