Hi all,
most of the coding part of a patch for using gnome-xml
instead of expat when HAVE_GNOME is defined is ready.
The main part is minimal, but there are lots of casts
spread over the code base since XML_Char in expat is signed
and xmlChar (thru #define XML_Char xmlChar) in gnome-xml is unsigned.
The remaining problems is some diffences in handling of charsets (UTF-8)
that currently breaks the statusbar init.
I will look into that ASAP.
My question is:
1. What should I do with the patch since it currently breaks the
application?
a/ submit it asis anyway.
b/ change critical parts to be ifdef by f.ex. HAVE_GNOME_XML
c/ submit to someone for review and discussion
The policy question is: how much breakage is acceptable?
2. One function in wv uses expat, where do I send that patch?
If someone want to have a look in the meantime, let me know, and I will
send the patch.
regards,
G�ran.
