Hi,
The attached files return an encoding error on parsing. The
xmlfile contains a reference to an entity in UTF-16 format, and
ideally there should be no problems. On investigating I found that the
problem occurs due to the changes made for bug fix #440159
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=440159) ,SVN Revision
3618(http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/libxml2/trunk/encoding.c?r1=3545&r2=3
618). If I revert the changes the parsing happens properly and there
is no error.
After some debugging by Bill, pinpointing the source of the problem, yes it's a classical mistake one char is not one byte, it's a bit ironic that we made it in code dedicated to encoding, sigh ... trivial patch enclosed, I also add your test to the regression, thanks !
