Ah, another thing which is generated from it is testapi.c
(make rebuild_testapi) which is used to exercise the full set of
the API against weird input etc ...
....
Testing xpath : 32 of 40 functions ...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00000000004f9691 in xmlXPathSetContextNode (node=0x82bd50, ctx=0x0)
at xpath.c:15091
15091 if (node->doc == ctx->doc)
and it indicates you forgot to check the arguments from that new
function. There is actually a number of possible error case so
it is better to make the function return an error status,
I also modified xmlXPathNodeEval to return NULL if str is NULL or
if xmlXPathSetContextNode failed :-)
I commited the result:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/commit/?id=28876afb4e67f9f4292fc2a7134f6b97f0618b7d
thanks !
