[libxml++] Memory leak?

[Morten H. <mor...@pd...>]

Hi,

I have used libxml++ a little bit lately, and I *think* I have found a =
memory leak in the write_to_string() function in the class Document. =
Internally this functions call the libxml functions xmlDocDumpMemory() =
and xmlDocDumpMemory(). Both of these functions internally call yet =
another libxml function, which says in it's code documentation that the =
caller of the function is responsible for freeing the allocated buffer =
using xmlFree().

But, as we can see in Document's write_to_string(), the code does not =
free the buffer after calling the libxml functions, it only creates a =
copy of the buffer in a std::string and returns that copy. Thus the =
original allocated memory is not destroyed.

Anyone agree with me on this one? :)

Thanks in advance,
Morten.
