I needed iXML output to stdout as well as an .xml file, so I added a cout just before the file is saved. There may be a more elegant way to do it, in which case I'd be glad to hear about it!

Not sure why there's no option to output iXML to stdout as well as a .xml file, so I've crudely added it for my own purposes.

This is too direct, and specific:

  • I would prefer that this is usable if an option is set
  • providing it only for iXML makes the interface non consistent, should be done for all options.

IMO there is the need of some refactoring for having a common function for writing to files then an option should be used for knowing if we need to save in a file or export to cout or both.

I get it that this is a lot more code to change...

Agreed, making it consistent and optional would be best - but unfortunately beyond my own expertise. Perhaps someone else will come along and take a look in the future, or I'll return to it when my C++ skills improve :)
