<P>AIX maintains two kinds of libraries on the system, thread-safe and
non-thread safe. Multi-threaded libraries on AIX follow a different naming
convention, Usually the multi-threaded library names are followed with &quot;_r&quot;.
For example, libc.a is single threaded whereas libc_r.a is multi-threaded.</P>

libraries (threaded or non-threaded) are automatically picked up at runtime. An
application usually crashes when you build your application for multi-threaded
operation but don't point to the thread-safe version of the system libraries.

<P>The parser relies on the system call, strtod(), to parse a string representation
of a double/float data. In the case of no invalid characters found, the strtod()
returns a double/float value if it is representable on that platform, or raises
ERANGE to indicate either underflow or underflow occurs. And the parser assigns
zero to the said data if underflow is found.
</P>
<P>The threshold, where the strtod() decides if an underflow occurs, varies on
platforms. On windows, it is roughly the order of e-308, on Linux, e-325, and
on AIX, HP and Solaris, e-324.
</P>
<P>So in an instance document, a data of value 1.0e-310 from a type with minExclusive 0,
is considered invalid on windows (since it is converted to 0 and therefore violates
the minExclusive constraint), but valid on other unix platforms (since it remains
the original value).

<P>To use the internal XML based application that creates the
documentation, you must have a Java Virtual machine installed
on your system. The application itself, written in Java, is
provided in the xerces-c-tools_2_8_0 distribution. You
should copy its contents into your <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">$XERCESCROOT</FONT></CODE>
directory.</P>
<P>To regenerate the documentation, go to directory <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">$XERCESCROOT</FONT></CODE>
and start <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">createDocs.sh</FONT></CODE> (for Unix) or
<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">createdocs.bat</FONT></CODE> (for Windows). The result can be
found in directory <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">$XERCESCROOT/doc/html</FONT></CODE>.</P>
<P>
To regenerate the API documentation, you need to have at least
<A href="http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/">Doxygen</A>
installed on your system.</P>
<P>If you want the API documentation to
contain dependency graphs, you also need to have <A href="http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/graphviz/">GraphViz</A> installed on
your system.</P>
<P>If you do not have GraphViz, or do not want to use it, you
have to edit file <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">$XERCESCROOT/doc/Doxyfile</FONT></CODE> and change <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">HAVE_DOT =
YES</FONT></CODE> into <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">HAVE_DOT = NO</FONT></CODE>.</P>
<P>To actually regenerate the API documentation, go to directory
<CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">$XERCESCROOT/doc/</FONT></CODE> and start Doxygen. The result can be
found in directory <CODE><FONT face="courier, monospaced">$XERCESCROOT/doc/html/apiDocs</FONT></CODE>.</P>
