Increasing attributes per element...?

[Masterhawk]

hey guys,
for my program I need to create an element node with more than five attributes the standard xml->writeElement() method can write.

So I guessed to extend the native method in this way

Code: Select all

void CXMLWriter::writeElement(const wchar_t* name, bool empty,
	const wchar_t* attr1Name, const wchar_t* attr1Value,
	const wchar_t* attr2Name, const wchar_t* attr2Value,
	const wchar_t* attr3Name, const wchar_t* attr3Value,
	const wchar_t* attr4Name, const wchar_t* attr4Value,
	const wchar_t* attr5Name, const wchar_t* attr5Value,
        //////////EXTENSION////////////////
        const wchar_t* attr6Name, const wchar_t* attr6Value,
	const wchar_t* attr7Name, const wchar_t* attr7Value)
{
	if (!File || !name)
		return;

	if (Tabs > 0)
	{
		for (int i=0; i<Tabs; ++i)
			File->write("\t", 2);
	}
	
	// write name

	File->write(L"<", 2);
    File->write(name, wcslen(name)*2);

	// write attributes

	writeAttribute(attr1Name, attr1Value);
	writeAttribute(attr2Name, attr2Value);
	writeAttribute(attr3Name, attr3Value);
	writeAttribute(attr4Name, attr4Value);
	writeAttribute(attr5Name, attr5Value);

       ////////////EXTENSION///////////////////
       writeAttribute(attr6Name, attr6Value);
       writeAttribute(attr7Name, attr7Value);

	// write closing tag
	if (empty)
		File->write(L" />", 6);
	else
	{
		File->write(L">", 2);
		++Tabs;
	}
}

Does this is a good way or will I get problems with reading the XML-file??

I don't want to recompile the Irrlicht.dll anyway, so if you got a better idea to solve my problem.....just post
