Re: [xml] xmlGcMemSetup & xmlMemSetup

["William M. Brack" <wbrack mmm com hk>]

Your two errors are caused because you are attempting to use the xml2
library functions xmlMemRealloc and xmlMemoryStrdup within your
"personal" routines.  This kind of "mixing" may not be done.  Within your
function "xml2_realloc" you should only call upon realloc, and you should
provide "your own" version of strdup (probably calling xml2_alloc and
memcpy).
