Scott Cantor commented on XERCESC-2070:
---------------------------------------
r1747620
XERCES_DISABLE_DTD set to "1" will cause the scanner to report a fatal error if
a DTD is seen. Existing applications won't see any change.
As I said, I would supplement this with a feature in the parser on trunk, and
just deprecate the variable.
> Ability to disable DTD processing
> ---------------------------------
>
> Key: XERCESC-2070
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2070
> Project: Xerces-C++
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Validating Parser (DTD)
> Reporter: Scott Cantor
> Fix For: 3.2.0, 3.1.4
>
>
> We should provide a way for applications that don't need DTDs to be insulated
> from bugs in that code.
> Trunk could do this pretty easily with the same property URI that Xerces-J
> and Java use for this.
> To do it without an ABI change, I'm going to patch in an environment variable
> check. It's ugly, but this is a problem of such magnitude that I don't see
> any other option, particularly given the lack of resources devoted to the
> project.
