Problems with Data Types, High Severity (3)

	Change	Effect
1	Size of v-table in this class has been changed from 28 bytes to 24 bytes.	The layout of v-tables in subclasses of this class has been changed. Call of any virtual method in subclasses may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.
2	Pure_Virtual method TiXmlBase::StreamOut ( TiXmlOutStream* p1 ) const has been removed from this class.	The layout of v-table has been changed. Call of this virtual method or any virtual method at higher position in this class or its subclasses may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Pure virtual method TiXmlNode::Accept ( TiXmlVisitor* visitor ) const has been added to this class.	1) Applications will not provide the implementation for this pure virtual method and therefore cause a crash in the library trying to call this method. 2) The layout of v-table has been changed. Call of any virtual method at higher position in this class or its subclasses may result in crash or incorrect behavior of applications.
