I was working to an object (with patch/object) and got to a pretty serious issue: after trying to make a copy of it (which was correct, C-wise, since the patch would compile), the patch started giving xml parse errors.
The object could not be copied, and apparently reloading the patch (which i did not save, by the way) gave the same error again.
I opened the patch with a text editor and found what caused the bug: grafted arrays.
I'll explain this better: the code contained something like this: ....array1[ array2[index]] ...
Those two square brackets caused the bug, since in the xml file, portions of code are delimited with [CDATA[]] tags.
Those two square brackets were causing the bug.
I solved the problem putting an empty comment between my two brackets, like this: ....array1[ array2[index] /**/] ...
the error message by the way was:
javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[514,71]
Message: Il contenuto degli elementi deve essere composto da dati o markup di caratteri con formato corretto.
javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: ParseError at [row,col]:[514,71]
