Yup, understood, it's basically a macro name clash, we nearly got the issue with libvirt which is using ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT for the same thing. I don't want to try to guess what may come from ansidecl.h and if it's exactly the same as what we are defining. The simplest is just to avoid the naming clash so I think renaming ATTRIBUTE_PRINTF as LIBXML_ATTR_FORMAT with everthing else keep the same should be sufficient to avoid those issues, hopefully the LIBXML_ prefix is a specific enough namespace to avoid any future conflict. I have commited this in SVN, I guess it should solve the problem, thanks !
