Support for a GEDCOM X "C" SDK #116

You said after the first lecture at RootsTech that you were building automated translations of the java code.

The .h and .c should be separated. We're also missing functions for reading/writing the gedcomx metadata model.

I think your eyeballs will be the first to really look at this code. It's neither tested nor proven out yet. Just FYI.

Yuk. The C one is all jammed into two files -- and no header to export. That isn't going to work.

It also emits tons of "implicit definition" warnings for xmlWriter and xmlReader functions, and then won't link because they're not in libxml2. The first one is xmlTextReaderReadRdfTypeElement(). Are you perhaps using something other than libxml2 for your Java implementation?

What tool did you use for the translation?

Yuk. For the C one, everything is jammed into two files. No header, either.

There are also tons of undefined functions from xmlReader and xmlWriter. Are you sure libxml2 is the right library?

Okay, thanks for the report. I'm reopening this issue and updating the title to reflect the work we need to fix the c library.

This probably won't get fixed in 0.10.0. Look for the fix in 0.11.0.
