#28 Empty XML file causing segmentation fault

[SATOUR ELOualid]

Hi Matthieu,
in the this code , the segmentation fault error occurred in this line : node = XMLDoc_root(&doc);

if (!XMLDoc_parse_file_DOM(C2SX(xmlPath), &doc)) {
        trace_error("Error while loading XML File : %s\n",xmlPath);
        return;
}
node = XMLDoc_root(&doc);

I fixed this bug by checking the root node

if(doc.i_root==-1){
    trace_error("XML document is empty: %s\n",xmlPath);
}
node = XMLDoc_root(&doc);

thanks to check empty file in the function XMLDoc_parse_file_DOM

Hi ElOualid,
Thank you for the report. However I can't find such reference in the code.
Can you tell me which version you're using and which file and line number you got the error?
Thanks!

Hi Matthieu,
Excuse me for delayed reply
I am using the VERSION "4.3.3"
The error appeared in the line node = XMLDoc_root(&doc); this error caused by reading empty xml file

OK thanks. I changed the macro to check for the i_root validity and retur NULL if < 0.
I pushed the changes to v4.3.4.
