So I was looking at the Tutorial Code
(http://www.xmlsoft.org/tutorial/index.html) and saw that it leaks memory. I
was wondering if this could be fixed as it is entirely non-clear to first
time users of libxml as to what the semantics of functions like
xmlNodeListGetString() are. The sample code (eg
http://www.xmlsoft.org/tutorial/apb.html) makes it look like the function
simply returns a pointer to a string.
However you need to go through the API to find out that the function
actually allocates memory that the caller needs to free. I would appreciate
it if an xmlFree() was put in there. The same applies for calls such as
xmlGetProp().
Thanks,
