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
If DllMain is used, rely on it working as expected. The old code seemed
to attempt to free global state of other threads if, for some reason,
the DllMain mechanism didn't work.
In a static build, register a destructor with
RegisterWaitForSingleObject.
Make public functions xmlGetGlobalState and xmlInitializeGlobalState
no-ops.
Move initialization and registration of global state objects to
xmlInitGlobalState. Lookup global state with xmlGetThreadLocalStorage
which can be inlined nicely.
Also cleanup global state when using TLS. xmlLastError must be reset.
