TinyXml Parser refuses to load file properly

Question

I have the following xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Hello>World</Hello>

Which is located in the very same directory as all my other files.

And I use this source file method to parse it:

void Character::assign_xml(const char * filename) //Assign xml takes the name of the xml file as a string, and uses it to parse the file's nodes.
{
    TiXmlDocument * doc = new TiXmlDocument(filename);

    bool loadOkay = doc->LoadFile(filename);



    if (loadOkay)
    {
        printf("\n%s\n", filename);
    }
    else
    {
        printf("%s does not work.", filename);
    }

    delete doc;

}

Yet, when I pass the string to it, my loadOkay variable amounts to false. Why is this?

My output produces the following:

Starting /home/holland/code/qt/chronos-build-desktop/chronos...
id01.xml does not work.Failed to open file/home/holland/code/qt/chronos-build-desktop/chronos exited with code 0

Where as an strace provides:

futex(0x84579c, FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE, 2147483647) = 0
open("id01.xml", O_RDONLY)              = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
fstat64(1, {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0620, st_rdev=makedev(136, 0), ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0xb773e000
write(1, "id01.xml does not work.Failed to"..., 42id01.xml does not work.Failed to open file) = 42

You shouldn't pass the filename both to the document constructor and to LoadFile(). Try omitting it from the latter, as per the examples on TinyXML's site.

If it still doesn't work, print out doc->ErrorDesc() (and possibly ErrorRow and ErrorCol).

And read the documentation: http://www.grinninglizard.com/tinyxmldocs/classTiXmlDocument.html
