[xml] Issue with xmlParseInNodeContext and xmlParseCharData()

[Frank Gross <fg 4js com>]

Hi,

  Since libxml 2.8.0 I have an issue when I use 
xmlParseInNodeContext(). During the parsing, it goes through the 
xmlParseCharData() function where following test has been added compared 
to libxml 2.7.2. And this test makes my parsing fail. For instance, the 
node I parse is <a><b>data</b><c>other</c></a> and in both libxml 
versions the ctxt->instate value is always XML_PARSER_START, but with 
that test since libxml 2.8.0, an error is raised when parsing the first 
text node.

Shouldn't the ctxt->instate value be set to XML_PARSER_CONTENT when 
starting to parse the content from xmlParseInNodeContext() ? Or can 
someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or maybe why that test has been added ?


File parser.c at line 4321 :

                /* something really bad happened in the SAX callback */
                if (ctxt->instate != XML_PARSER_CONTENT)
                    return;

Regards,
Frank
