FIXML

I'm trying to extend the QuickFix engine so it can support the FIXML format. I've think in two solution, directly edit the C++ classes and recompile the libraries or inherited from them and redefine the methods. But when a start reading the C++ code I found some strange things, like for example:

 

bool Session::sendToTarget( Message* message )
{ QF_STACK_TRY

  try
  {
    Message __pin * pMessage = message;
    return FIX::Session::sendToTarget( pMessage->unmanaged() );
  }
  catch ( FIX::SessionNotFound& ) { throw new SessionNotFound(); };

  QF_STACK_CATCH
}

 

This might one of the methods I'll have to redefine, but I still don't get it. It is calling itself recursively. How can the message be send in this terms...??? I look up for the message class to see what does the unmanaged() method do....

 

 FIX::Message& unmanaged()
  { return * m_pUnmanaged; }

 

Just return an attribute... so... let see where is that attribute is set...

 

Message() : disposed( false )
  { QF_STACK_TRY

    m_pUnmanaged = new FIX::Message();
    m_header = new Header( this );
    m_trailer = new Trailer( this );

    QF_STACK_CATCH
  }

 

This finish to confused me.... the method is call recursively allocating memory for a new Message..... What!!!!!! Obviously I'm quite rusty with C++.

 

Please help!!!!
