Add a new configuration flag that controls whether the outdated support
for XPointer locations (ranges and points) is enabled.
--with-xptr-locs # Autotools
LIBXML2_WITH_XPTR_LOCS # CMake
The latest spec for what it essentially an XPath extension seems to be
this working draft from 2002:
https://www.w3.org/TR/xptr-xpointer/
The xpointer() scheme is listed as "being reviewed" in the XPointer
registry since at least 2006. libxml2 seems to be the only modern
software that tries to implement this spec, but the code has many bugs
and quality issues.
The flag defaults to "off" and support for this extensions has to be
requested explicitly. The relevant API functions are deprecated.
This code has been broken and deprecated since version 2.6.0, released
in 2003. Because of a bug in commit 961b535c, DOCBparser.c was never
compiled since 2012. I couldn't find a Debian package using any of its
symbols, so it seems safe to remove this module.
When libxml2 is compiled with threads enabled, have the header file
define LIBXML_THREAD_ENABLED even if the subsequent application by
itself does not enable threads. Otherwise, the application would see
the unthreaded API functions, but these are not exported (where it does
make a difference, like on Win32 based platforms).
Otherwise, direct calls to xmlFree() etc. from the application will
use a different set of allocation functions to what was used to allocate
the memory internally.
Makefile.am:
* Don't use @VAR@, use $(VAR). Autoconf's AC_SUBST provides us the Make
variable, it allows overriding the value at the command line, and
(notably) it avoids a Make parse error in the libxml2_la_LDFLAGS
assignment when @MODULE_PLATFORM_LIBS@ is empty
* Changed how the THREADS_W32 mechanism switches the build between
testThreads.c and testThreadsWin32.c as appropriate; using AM_CONDITIONAL
allows this to work cleanly and plays well with dependencies
* testapi.c should be specified as BUILT_SOURCES
* Create symlinks to the test/ and result/ subdirs so that the runtests
target is usable in out-of-source-tree builds
* Don't do MAKEFLAGS+=--silent as this is not portable to non-GNU Makes
* Fixed incorrect find(1) syntax in the "cleanup" rule, and doing "rm -f"
instead of just "rm" is good form
* (DIST)CLEANFILES needed a bit more coverage to allow "make distcheck" to
pass
configure.in:
* Need AC_PROG_LN_S to create test/ and result/ symlinks in Makefile.am
* AC_LIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL and AM_PROG_LIBTOOL are obsolete; these have been
superceded by LT_INIT
* Don't rebuild docs by default, as this requires GNU Make (as
implemented)
* Check for uint32_t as some platforms don't provide it
* Check for some more functions, and undefine HAVE_MMAP if we don't also
HAVE_MUNMAP (one system I tested on actually needed this)
* Changed THREADS_W32 from a filename insert into an Automake conditional
* The "Copyright" file will not be in the current directory if builddir !=
srcdir
doc/Makefile.am:
* EXTRA_DIST cannot use wildcards when they refer to generated files; this
breaks dependencies. What I did was define EXTRA_DIST_wc, which uses GNU
Make $(wildcard) directives to build up a list of files, and EXTRA_DIST,
as a literal expansion of EXTRA_DIST_wc. I also added a new rule,
"check-extra-dist", to simplify checking that the two variables are
equivalent. (Note that this works only when builddir == srcdir)
(I can implement this differently if desired; this is just one way of
doing it)
* Don't define an "all" target; this steps on Automake's toes
* Fixed up the "libxml2-api.xml ..." rule by using $(wildcard) for
dependencies (as Make doesn't process the wildcards otherwise) and
qualifying appropriate files with $(srcdir)
(Note that $(srcdir) is not needed in the dependencies, thanks to VPATH,
which we can count on as this is GNU-Make-only code anyway)
doc/devhelp/Makefile.am:
* Qualified appropriate files with $(srcdir)
* Added an "uninstall-local" rule so that "make distcheck" passes
doc/examples/Makefile.am:
* Rather than use a wildcard that doesn't work, use a substitution that
most Make programs can handle
doc/examples/index.py:
* Do the same here
include/libxml/nanoftp.h:
* Some platforms (e.g. MSVC 6) already #define INVALID_SOCKET:
user@host:/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Microsoft Visual Studio/VC98/\
Include$ grep -R INVALID_SOCKET .
./WINSOCK.H:#define INVALID_SOCKET (SOCKET)(~0)
./WINSOCK2.H:#define INVALID_SOCKET (SOCKET)(~0)
include/libxml/xmlversion.h.in:
* Support ancient GCCs (I was actually able to build the library with 2.5
but for this bit)
python/Makefile.am:
* Expanded CLEANFILES to allow "make distcheck" to pass
python/tests/Makefile.am:
* Define CLEANFILES instead of a "clean" rule, and added tmp.xml to allow
"make distcheck" to pass
testRelax.c:
* Use HAVE_MMAP instead of the less explicit HAVE_SYS_MMAN_H (as some
systems have the header but not the function)
testSchemas.c:
* Use HAVE_MMAP instead of the less explicit HAVE_SYS_MMAN_H
testapi.c:
* Don't use putenv() if it's not available
threads.c:
* This fixes the following build error on Solaris 8:
libtool: compile: cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I./include -I./include \
-D_REENTRANT -D__EXTENSIONS__ -D_REENTRANT -Dsparc -Xa -mt -v \

"threads.c", line 442: controlling expressions must have scalar type
"threads.c", line 512: controlling expressions must have scalar type
cc: acomp failed for threads.c
*** Error code 1
trio.c:
* Define isascii() if the system doesn't provide it
trio.h:
* The trio library's HAVE_CONFIG_H header is not the same as LibXML2's
HAVE_CONFIG_H header; this change is needed to avoid a double-inclusion
win32/configure.js:
* Added support for the LZMA compression option
win32/Makefile.{bcb,mingw,msvc}:
* Added appropriate bits to support WITH_LZMA=1
* Install the header files under $(INCPREFIX)\libxml2\libxml instead of
$(INCPREFIX)\libxml, to mirror the install location on Unix+Autotools
xml2-config.in:
* @MODULE_PLATFORM_LIBS@ (usually "-ldl") needs to be in there in order for
`xml2-config --libs` to provide a complete set of dependencies
xmllint.c:
* Use HAVE_MMAP instead of the less-explicit HAVE_SYS_MMAN_H
* include/libxml/parser.h include/libxml/xmlwriter.h
include/libxml/relaxng.h include/libxml/xmlversion.h.in
include/libxml/xmlwin32version.h.in include/libxml/valid.h
include/libxml/xmlschemas.h include/libxml/xmlerror.h: change
ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF into LIBXML_ATTR_FORMAT to avoid macro name
collisions with other packages and headers as reported by
Belgabor and Mike Hommey

sounds good enough.
Daniel

Adding a configure option to remove tree manipulation
code which is not strictly needed by the parser.

fixed the regexp based DTD validation performance and memory
problem by switching to a compact form for determinist regexps

merged automata/regexp/schemas regression tests
Daniel
* xpath.c: fixing #61290 "namespace nodes have no parent"
long standing divergence from the XPath REC. NodeSets

points to the parent (which may not be the node carrying the
definition).

speedup

* libxml.h: Applied following patches from Robert Collins
and make sure IN_LIBXML is defined when compiling it
-------
* include/libxml/xmlversion.h.in (LIBXML_DLL_IMPORT): Use on Cygwin
as well as Visual C.
* parser.c (XML_DIR_SEP): Don't use '\\' for Cygwin.
* parserInternals.c (XML_DIR_SEP): Don't use '\\' for Cygwin.
* strio.c (PLATFORM_UNIX): Define for Cygwin.
* triodef.h (TRIO_PLATFORM_UNIX): Define for Cygwin.

Use binary mode opens for Cygwin (xmlFileOpenW xmlParserGetDirectory
xmlSysIDExists xmlNoNetExists).
* xmllint.c: Don't include winsock2.h for Cygwin.
