[xml] possible limitation in validation callbacks

[Tanguy Fautré <tfautre dsimprove be>]

Hi,

I'm currently trying to override the error callbacks when parsing and 
validating an XML doc which resides in memory. (see example code below)

The overriden callbacks works fine for the Parser (using ctxt->sax callbacks) 
but not for the validation.
The thing is that xmlCtxtReadMemory() calls xmlCtxtReset(), which happens to 
reset the callbacks and the userData in ctxt->vctxt (the validity context).

This really annoys me 'cause I'm using libxml in a multithreaded environement 
and I need to know in which thread the error happened (more specifically in 
which object in C++).

Am I doing something wrong?
Is there an other way to set callbacks/userdata on a per-context basis?

I tried doing the validity check by calling xmlValidateDocument() after 
calling xmlCtxtReadMemory(). But the latter ignore the facts that I don't 
want to validate the document (I comment out the XML_PARSE_DTDVALID flag). 
And the former doesn't give the same error messages (there are less 
complete).

I'm using libxml 2.6.7

Thanks for your help.
Best regards,

Tanguy
