Package: xmlindent
Version: 0.2.17-4
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I you feed xmlindent the following input, it crashes because of the
abort() in xmlindent.yy.
<email>"John" <j...@example.com></email>
Instead, I'd like it to exit gracefully, preferably with a linenumber.
The attached patch improves the situation from:
$ echo '<email>"John" <j...@example.com></email>' | xmlindent
Error: Scanner did not recognize string '<'. Aborted (core dumped)
(exitcode SIGABORT)
To this:
$ echo '<email>"John" <j...@example.com></email>' | ./xmlindent
Error: Scanner did not recognize string '<' near line 1.
(exitcode 1)
Cheers,
Walter Doekes
P.S. I overrode the version with -V to 0.2.17-4, while jessie has
0.2.17-3. The result is the same because the bug is present in both/all
versions.
