Description Markus Elfring 2012-08-08 18:21:14 UTC 
I see that some function implementations like "xmlFreeNode()" handle passed null pointers in special ways.
http://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/tree/tree.c?id=6ca24a39d0eb7fd7378a5bc8be3286bf745a36ba#n3696

But I miss a corresponding API description for this feature. Would you like to clarify this documentation detail?
Comment 1 GNOME Infrastructure Team 2021-07-05 13:21:27 UTC 
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org.
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
