[Libguestfs] [PATCH v8 03/42] mllib: Move Xml (libxml2) OCaml bindings to common/mlxml.

Richard W.M. Jones rjones at redhat.com
Wed Jun 21 17:29:10 UTC 2017


The ‘Xml’ module is a self-contained library of bindings for libxml2,
with no other dependencies.

Move it to a separate ‘common/mlxml’ directory.

This is not pure refactoring.  For unclear reasons, the previous
version of ‘Xml.parse_file’ read the whole file into memory and then
called ‘xmlReadMemory’.  This was quite inefficient, and unnecessary
because we could use ‘xmlReadFile’ to read and parse the file
efficiently.  Changing the code to use ‘xmlReadFile’ also removes the
unnecessary dependency on ‘Common_utils.read_whole_file’.
