Category: General Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: Nick Retallack (nickretallack) Assigned to: Nobody (None) Summary: SaxParser Crashes -- Null Pointer Initial Comment: Any xml document that contains a DTD causes SaxParser to crash. Example: require 'rubygems' require 'libxml' class Handler def method_missing(method_name, *attributes, &block); end end parser = LibXML::XML::SaxParser.new parser.filename = 'anything_with_a_dtd.xml' parser.callbacks = Handler.new puts parser.filename parser.parse result: saxmltest.rb:12:in `parse': NULL pointer given (ArgumentError) It seems I am not the only person having this problem. http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/libxml-devel/2008-July/001042.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Charlie Savage (cfis) Date: 2008-11-15 18:14 Message: Hi Nick, I think I've got this fixed - will be in the next release. Thanks for the report. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Andy Hauser (buggs) Date: 2008-08-26 12:41 Message: This bug is whitespace sensitive. Your test_doctype with the inline document does not start with an XML declaration, so it does not get triggered. Remove the whitespace before it and the bug appears. It seems otherwise it's not even parsing the data. Here is complete program showing the bug: require 'libxml' class DocTypeCallback include LibXML::XML::SaxParser::Callbacks def on_start_element(element, attributes) puts element end end def test_doctype xp = LibXML::XML::SaxParser.new xp.callbacks = DocTypeCallback.new xp.string = <<-EOS <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE Results SYSTEM "results.dtd"> <Results> <a>a1</a> </Results> EOS doc = xp.parse end test_doctype ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Charlie Savage (cfis) Date: 2008-08-20 02:29 Message: Does the tc_sax_parser#test_doctype test work for you? That's copied directly from the link you mention, and works fine here. Does it work for you? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?func=detail&atid=1971&aid=21546&group_id=494 _______________________________________________ libxml-devel mailing list libxml-devel@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/libxml-devel
