  http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-xmlmemory.html#xmlGcMemSetup
the later has an extra function allowing a special function for
allocation of atomic area (i.e. areas which will never be grown).
In doubt use xmlMemSetup()

  no, xmlMemSetup must be the very first call to libxml2 then call
xmlInitParser(). Don't call xmlInitMemory by yourself, xmlInitParser
will do it.
