Title: Re: [xml] Bug or User Error

Well thanks for ripping into me, but that does not help actually..

 

First of all, I added the Cleanup after I ran into the problem in the first place.

 

I still receive the error without xmlCleanupParser, now unless there is a place in said document that states clearly that calling xmlParseFile will cause an exception, I am still at a loss..

PS what is a "4 function", I am unsure what that is, and I surely am not using it.

  Do NOT , I repeat and repeat again and again and again
    DO NOT CALL xmlCleanupParser ON ALL PARSE !!!
DO CALL xmlCleanupParser when your are done with the LIBRARY !!!

http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-parser.html#xmlCleanupParser
 "Cleanup function for the XML library. It tries to reclaim all parsing
  related global memory allocated for the library processing. It doesn't
  deallocate any document related memory. Calling this function should
  not prevent reusing the library but one should call xmlCleanupParser()
  only when the process has finished using the library or XML document
  built with it."

  You're using 4 function. Tell me WHY reading the doc for the 4 function
is asking too much of your time and asking on the list is a better option ????

  Why bother building docs ? People simply don't bother to read them :-(
it is *extremely* frustrating :-(
  Why did you call xmlCleanupParser() for each document ????
