Re: [xml] Strange validation errors in libxml 2.9.0 with MSVC 2010

[Zoltán Ördögh (GMail) <csimbi gmail com>]

Hi Csaba,
thank you for checking!

xmllint works flawlessly in 2.9.0 here as well - as I have indicated in the original email.

As a quick recap:
 - I use pretty much the same code to read the XML using XMLReader as xmllint: xmlReaderForFile(...) followed by an xmlTextReaderRead (...)

 - For the exact same documents and source code:
    - libxml 2.9.0 gives a validation errors on MSVC 2010 (the validation error appears for every single attribute and element).
    - libxml 2.8.0 and below works perfectly.

 - My conclusion: a bug has been introduced in 2.9.0 that prevents validation on MSVC 2010.

Best regards: Zoltán Ördögh

I tried your example with Cygwin's xmllint and with my homemade
validator based on Xerces-C. Both passed successfully.

$ xmllint.exe --version
xmllint: using libxml version 20900

SAXv1 FTP HTTP DTDValid HTML Legacy C14N Catalog XPath XPointer
XInclude Iconv ISO8859X Unicode Regexps Automata Expr Schemas
Schematron Modules Debug Zlib Lzma

$ xmllint.exe --noout --valid testme.xml
<no output>
