GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 743246
Parser error for whitespace + PI after document element
Last modified: 2021-07-05 13:23:43 UTC
Created attachment 294999 [details] XML file to reproduce the problem Version: 2.9.2 (not in selection list above!) If there's a certain amount of whitespace after the document root element and a processing instruction after that, parsing of the document fails with the error: "Extra content at the end of the document" The cause seems to be, that while skipping all the whitespace, the internal buffer is not filled up. Now if the '<' character is the last character in the buffer, it's not recognized as the beginning of a processing instructrion and an error is signaled.
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.
