Fix memory leak bugs in XmlPatterns
In XmlPatterns implementation, QExplicitlySharedDataPointer and QSharedData classes are widely used. The over use of these classes has cuased couple of cyclic references. Some codes are refactored to use plain C++ pointer to break the reference loop. Task-number: QTBUG-15191 Reviewed-by: Laszlo Agocs and Sami Merila

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5D_read
 *
 * Purpose:	Reads (part of) a DATASET into application memory BUF. See
 *		H5Dread() for complete details.
 *
 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 *
 * Programmer:	Robb Matzke
 *		Thursday, December  4, 1997
 *
 * Modifications:
 *	Robb Matzke, 1998-06-09
 *	The data space is no longer cached in the dataset struct.
 *
 * 	Robb Matzke, 1998-08-11
 *	Added timing calls around all the data space I/O functions.
 *
 * 	rky, 1998-09-18
 *	Added must_convert to do non-optimized read when necessary.
 *
 *  	Quincey Koziol, 1999-07-02
 *	Changed xfer_parms parameter to xfer plist parameter, so it
 *	could be passed to H5T_convert.
 *
 *	Albert Cheng, 2000-11-21
 *	Added the code that when it detects it is not safe to process a
 *	COLLECTIVE read request without hanging, it changes it to
 *	INDEPENDENT calls.
 *
 *	Albert Cheng, 2000-11-27
 *	Changed to use the optimized MPIO transfer for Collective calls only.
 *
 *      Raymond Lu, 2001-10-2
 *      Changed the way to retrieve property for generic property list.
 *
 *	Raymond Lu, 2002-2-26
 *	For the new fill value design, data space can either be allocated 
 *	or not allocated at this stage.  Fill value or data from space is
 *	returned to outgoing buffer.
 *
 *      QAK - 2002/04/02
 *      Removed the must_convert parameter and move preconditions to
 *      H5S_<foo>_opt_possible() routine
 *

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 * Function:	H5D_write
 *
 * Purpose:	Writes (part of) a DATASET to a file from application memory
 *		BUF. See H5Dwrite() for complete details.
 *
 * Return:	Non-negative on success/Negative on failure
 *
 * Programmer:	Robb Matzke
 *		Thursday, December  4, 1997
 *
 * Modifications:
 * 	Robb Matzke, 9 Jun 1998
 *	The data space is no longer cached in the dataset struct.
 *
 * 	rky 980918
 *	Added must_convert to do non-optimized read when necessary.
 *
 *      Quincey Koziol, 2 July 1999
 *      Changed xfer_parms parameter to xfer plist parameter, so it could
 *      be passed to H5T_convert
 *
 *	Albert Cheng, 2000-11-21
 *	Added the code that when it detects it is not safe to process a
 *	COLLECTIVE write request without hanging, it changes it to
 *	INDEPENDENT calls.
 *      
 *	Albert Cheng, 2000-11-27
 *	Changed to use the optimized MPIO transfer for Collective calls only.
 *
 *      Raymond Lu, 2001-10-2
 *      Changed the way to retrieve property for generic property list.
 *
 *	Raymond Lu, 2002-2-26
 *	For the new fill value design, space may not be allocated until 
 *	this function is called.  Allocate and initialize space if it 
 *	hasn't been.
 *
 *      QAK - 2002/04/02
 *      Removed the must_convert parameter and move preconditions to
 *      H5S_<foo>_opt_possible() routine
 *

 * Function:	H5Diterate
 *
 * Purpose:	This routine iterates over all the elements selected in a memory

 *      in the dataspace.  The selection in the dataspace is modified so
 *      that any elements already iterated over are removed from the selection
 *      if the iteration is interrupted (by the H5D_operator_t function
 *      returning non-zero) in the "middle" of the iteration and may be
 *      re-started by the user where it left off.
 *
 *      NOTE: Until "subtracting" elements from a selection is implemented,
 *          the selection is not modified.
 *
 * Parameters:
 *      void *buf;          IN/OUT: Pointer to the buffer in memory containing
 *                              the elements to iterate over.
 *      hid_t type_id;      IN: Datatype ID for the elements stored in BUF.
 *      hid_t space_id;     IN: Dataspace ID for BUF, also contains the
 *                              selection to iterate over.
 *      H5D_operator_t op; IN: Function pointer to the routine to be
 *                              called for each element in BUF iterated over.
 *      void *operator_data;    IN/OUT: Pointer to any user-defined data
 *                              associated with the operation.
 *
 * Operation information:
 *      H5D_operator_t is defined as:
 *          typedef herr_t (*H5D_operator_t)(void *elem, hid_t type_id,
 *              hsize_t ndim, hssize_t *point, void *operator_data);
 *
 *      H5D_operator_t parameters:
 *          void *elem;         IN/OUT: Pointer to the element in memory containing
 *                                  the current point.
 *          hid_t type_id;      IN: Datatype ID for the elements stored in ELEM.
 *          hsize_t ndim;       IN: Number of dimensions for POINT array
 *          hssize_t *point;    IN: Array containing the location of the element
 *                                  within the original dataspace.
 *          void *operator_data;    IN/OUT: Pointer to any user-defined data
 *                                  associated with the operation.
 *
 *      The return values from an operator are: 
 *          Zero causes the iterator to continue, returning zero when all
 *              elements have been processed. 
 *          Positive causes the iterator to immediately return that positive
 *              value, indicating short-circuit success.  The iterator can be
 *              restarted at the next element. 
 *          Negative causes the iterator to immediately return that value,
 *              indicating failure. The iterator can be restarted at the next
 *              element.
 *
 * Return:	Returns the return value of the last operator if it was non-zero,
 *          or zero if all elements were processed. Otherwise returns a
 *          negative value.
