Don't use a separate function to handle "complex" attributes. Validate
UTF-8 byte sequences without decoding. This should improve performance
considerably when parsing multi-byte UTF-8 sequences.
Use a string buffer to avoid unnecessary allocations and copying when
expanding entities.
Normalize attribute values in a single pass while expanding entities.
Be more lenient in recovery mode.
If no entity substitution was requested, validate entities without
expanding. Fixes#596.
Also fixes#655.
Instead of abusing the LSB of the "checked" member, store the result
of testing for occurrence of '<' character in "flags".
Also use the flags in xmlParseStringEntityRef instead of rescanning
every time.
To check whether an entity was already parsed, the code previously
tested whether "checked" was non-zero or "children" was non-null. The
"children" check could be unreliable because an empty entity also
results in an empty (NULL) node list. Use a separate flag to make this
check more reliable.
Private functions were previously declared
- in header files in the root directory
- in public headers guarded with IN_LIBXML
- in libxml.h
- redundantly in source files that used them.
Consolidate all private header files in include/private.
