[xml] Memory Leak in xmlParseElementChildrenContentDecl

[Ashwin <ashwins huawei com>]

 

Hi,

  There seems to be a memory leak in the function xmlParseElementChildrenContentDecl (libxml release 28). When I parse the attached document using any of the Api’s provided for DOM/Sax with purify a memory leak is shown for the memory allocated at the following location in function xmlNewDocElementContent

ret = (xmlElementContentPtr) xmlMalloc(sizeof(xmlElementContent));

The memory allocated for b in the attached document is not being freed.

<!ELEMENT aElement (a |b * >

 

Regards
