Add a new configuration flag that controls whether the outdated support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.
These functions shouldn't be part of the public API. Most init
functions are only thread-safe when called from xmlInitParser. Global
variables should only be cleaned up by calling xmlCleanupParser.
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.
These functions are only needed internally for validation.
xmlGetRefs is inherently unsafe because the ref table isn't updated
if attributes are removed (unlike the ids table).
None of the Ubuntu 20.04 packages depending on libxml2 use any of these
functions (except xmlFreeRefTable in libxslt), so it seems perfectly
safe to deprecate them.
Remove xmlIsRef and xmlRemoveRef from the Python bindings.
The Python extension module now uses Py_ssize_t rather than int for
string lengths. This change makes the extension compatible with
Python 3.10.
Fixes#203.
while still compiling on recent Python2:
- change the handling of files, tweak the generator, get the fd
instead of the FILE *, dup it and fdopen based on mode, add a
Release function on Python3 and call to flush from the generated
python stubs
- switch to using Capsules instead of CObjects
- fix PyString to PyBytes
- fix PyInt to PyLong
- tweak the module registration to compile on both versions
- drop PyInstance check for passed xmlNodes and instead check
attributes presence

It is possible to make xmlIO handle any protocol by means of
xmlRegisterInputCallback(). However, that function is currently only
available in C API. So, the natural solution seems to be implementing Python
bindings for the xmlRegisterInputCallback.
* python/generator.py: skip xmlPopInputCallbacks

wrappers

* include/libxml/tree.h tree.c python/generator.py: adds
element traversal support

Daniel
* python/generator.py: added most required entires to

a different directory. Added (optional) param to gentest.py
to specify the source directory (bug #155468)

a new table of functions which have possible "foreign" encodings
(e.g. UTF16), and code to use python 't' format instead of
'z' format (mostly solving bug #152286, but still need to
populate the table).
