Got it in one. libxml's API in this area is unusably broken, and needs a ground-up redesign not random messages telling users that they didn't use it right --- there *is* no right way to use it. My experience with this comes from the Postgres project, which wasted many moons trying to use xmlMemSetup() ... basically, you can't replace libxml's memory management, you just have to live with whatever it chooses to leak. regards, tom lane -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
