I looked at the sources. xmlMalloc() function is declared in liblilxml/lilxml.h:
/* install alternatives to malloc/realloc/free */
extern void xmlMalloc (void *(*newmalloc)(size_t size),
void *(*newrealloc)(void *ptr, size_t size), void (*newfree)(void *ptr));
and defined in liblilxml/lilxml.c:
/* install new version of malloc/realloc/free.
* N.B. don't call after first use of any other lilxml function
*/
void
xmlMalloc (void *(*newmalloc)(size_t size),
void *(*newrealloc)(void *ptr, size_t size),
void (*newfree)(void *ptr))
{
mymalloc = newmalloc;
myrealloc = newrealloc;
myfree = newfree;
}
There is no other place where the function is called or referred.
Because the function is defined in lilxml.c which is built into liblilxml.a
and then linked to xephem executable, xephem should not link to libxml2. It
has its own xmlMalloc() definition.
Question why EPEL9 reports that error I cannot answer. Maybe some bug in
gcc or binutils.
