xmlParserInputBufferCreateMem must make a copy of the buffer.
This fixes a regression from 2.11 which could cause reads from freed
memory depending on the use case.
Undeprecate xmlParserInputBufferCreateStatic which can avoid copying
the whole buffer.
Fix many places where malloc failures aren't reported.
Make xmlErrMemory public. This is useful for custom external entity
loaders.
Introduce new API function xmlSwitchEncodingName.
Change the way how we store whether the the parser is stopped. This used
to be signaled by setting ctxt->instate to XML_PARSER_EOF which was
misdesigned and error-prone. Set ctxt->disableSAX to 2 instead and
introduce a macro PARSER_STOPPED. Also stop to remove parser inputs in
xmlHaltParser. This allows to remove many checks of ctxt->instate.
Introduce xmlErrParser to handle errors if a parser context is
available.
Fix many places where malloc failures aren't reported.
Make some API function return an error code. Changing the return type
from void to int is technically an ABI break but should be safe on most
platforms.
- xmlNodeSetContent
- xmlNodeSetContentLen
- xmlNodeAddContent
- xmlNodeAddContentLen
- xmlNodeSetBase
Introduce new API functions that return a separate error code if a
memory allocation fails.
- xmlNodeGetAttrValue
- xmlNodeGetBaseSafe
- xmlGetNsListSafe
Introduce private functions xmlTreeEnsureXMLDecl and xmlSplitQName4.
Don't report low-level errors to the global error handler.
Fix tree
Introduce xmlGetNsListSafe
Fix tree
Introduce a new API function xmlAddIDSafe that returns a separate error
code if a memory allocation fails.
Store a pointer to the ID struct in xmlAttr so attributes can be
freed without allocating memory. It's impossible to report malloc
failures in deallocation code.
Fix places where malloc failures aren't reported.
Introduce a new API function xmlPatternCompileSafe that returns a
separate error code if a memory allocation fails.
Fix places where malloc failures aren't reported.
Introduce new API function xmlAddEntity that returns separate error
codes.
Don't invoke global error handler for low-level errors which should be
handled by higher layers.
Invalid redelcaration warnings will be fixed later.
Introduce new API functions that return a separate error code if a
memory allocation fails.
- xmlOpenCharEncodingHandler
- xmlLookupCharEncodingHandler
Fix a few places where malloc failures weren't reported.
Fix many places where malloc failures weren't reported, for example
after calling xmlStrdup.
Introduce new public API functions that return a separate error code if
a memory allocation fails:
- xmlParseURISafe
- xmlBuildURISafe
- xmlBuildRelativeURISafe
Update the fuzzer to check whether malloc failures are reported.
Setting these deprecated globals hasn't had an effect for a long time.
Make them constants. This reduces the size of per-thread storage from
~700 to ~250 bytes.
The long-term plan is to remove the built-in HTTP client. There are
still a few downstream projects that use libxml2's client for other
purposes. These users should get deprecation warnings now.
Trio is a rather old cross-platform printf library which was bundled with
libxml2. It was needed for ancient pre-C99 systems without snprintf and
should be safe to remove these days.
Use a hash table to lookup namespaces by prefix. The hash table stores
an index into the namespace table. Auxiliary data for namespaces is
stored in a separate array along the main namespace table.
Use a hash table to verify attribute uniqueness. The hash table stores
an index into the attribute table.
Reuse hash value from the dictionary to avoid computing them twice.
See #346.
This is a slight break of the API, but users really shouldn't modify the
global error struct. The goal is to make xmlLastError use static buffers
for its strings eventually. This should warn people if they're abusing
the struct.
Note that setting global options has no effect anyway when using any of
the modern parser API functions which take an option argument like
xmlReadMemory or when using xmlCtxtUseOptions.
Global options only have an effect when using old API functions
xmlParse* or xmlSAXParse* or when using an xmlParserCtxt without calling
xmlCtxtUseOptions.
Unfortunately, many downstream projects still modify global parser
options often without realizing that it has no effect. If necessary,
switch to the modern API. Then you can safely remove all code that
changes global options.
Here's a list of deprecated functions and global variables together with
the corresponding parser options.
- xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefault, xmlSubstituteEntitiesDefaultValue
Parser option XML_PARSE_NOENT
- xmlKeepBlanksDefault, xmlKeepBlanksDefaultValue
Inverse of parser option XML_PARSE_NOBLANKS
- xmlPedanticParserDefault, xmlPedanticParserDefaultValue
Parser option XML_PARSE_PEDANTIC
- xmlLineNumbersDefault, xmlLineNumbersDefaultValue
Always enabled by new API
- xmlDoValidityCheckingDefaultValue
Parser option XML_PARSE_DTDVALID
- xmlGetWarningsDefaultValue
Inverse of parser option XML_PARSE_NOWARNING
- xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue
Parser options XML_PARSE_DTDLOAD and XML_PARSE_DTDATTR
