parser bug on misformed namespace attributes
For https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672539
Reported by Axel Miller <axel.miller@ppi.de>
Consider the following start-tag:
<x xmlns=""version="">
The start-tag does not conform to the rule
[40] STag ::= '<' Name (S Attribute)* S? '>'
since there is no whitespace in front of the attribute "version".
Thus, libxml2 should reject the start-tag.
But it doesn't:
$ echo '<x xmlns=""version=""/>' | xmllint -
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<x xmlns="" version=""/>
The error seems to happen only if there is a namespace declaration in
front of
the attribute. A missing whitespace between other attributes is handled
correctly:
$ echo '<x someattr=""version=""/>' | xmllint -
-:1: parser error : attributes construct error
<x someattr=""version=""/>
