Is there a particular reason you are embedding a version of libxml
rather than the one that ships with the system ( /usr/lib/
libxml2.dylib )? Does the somewhat newer version have features
that you need or have needed bugfixes?
The system installed version of libxml2 on 10.5.6 is 2.6.16. The
current release of libxml2 is 2.7.3. A quick glance at <http://xmlsoft.org/news.html
> tells us that 2.6.16 comes from November of 2004 and that there
have been dozens of bug, feature, and security fixes in the *nearly
five years* since. The only question is why someone who needed
libxml *wouldn't* embed something more recent than the system
provides.
This is another example of Apple's code lagging *severely* behind
the times.
Generally, I had the same initial reaction as Gwynne. More
specifically, I am using the XML reader API to parse vary large files,
and there were enough memory leak bug fixes mentioned in the release
notes that I just decided to bite the bullet and compile the latest
version.
