In Win32 you can import only functions from a library (.DLL) and not
variables. This causes problems if libxml2 is built as a dll, and a program
attempts to use an exported variable. It will compile/link, but will fail
at runtime.
I propose creating simple wrappers for global parsing variables. A good
example program is xsltproc, which has a line
if (novalid == 0)
xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue = 6;
else
xmlLoadExtDtdDefaultValue = 0;
If xsltproc is linked against libxml2 as a .DLL (not as a .lib), this will
cause a segv.
I created a wrapper function in parserInternals so the code now looks like
if (novalid == 0)
xmlSetLoadExtDtdDefaultValue(6);
else
xmlSetLoadExtDtdDefaultValue(0);
Extremely simple, but saves us win32 programmers some troubles. (I also have
a xmlGetLoadExtDtdDefaultValue wrapper).
What do you think?
