[xml] Memory leaks

[Iñigo Martínez]

Hi,

I have been looking at the memory usage of my programs using libxml2 y
using valgrind, and I have seen these messages:

==22134== Invalid read of size 8

==22134==    by 0x4009CA: main (test-command.c:44)

These messages correspond to this code:

xml-message.c 111

    xmlNodePtr
    xml_msg_get_msg (const char *str) {
        xmlDoc *doc;
        xmlNodePtr msg;

        if (!(doc = xmlRecoverDoc (BAD_CAST str)))
            return NULL;

        msg = xmlDocGetRootElement (doc);
        xmlUnlinkNode (msg);
        xmlFreeDoc (doc);

        return msg;
    }

test-command.c 44 and 51

    xmlNodePtr node;
    node = xml_msg_get_msg ("<Command Timestamp=\"0\"
ReceptionTimeStamp=\"0\" Sender=\"P1\"
Receiver=\"P2\"><GetData/></Command>");
    xmlFreeNode (node);

Any idea on why I'm leaking memory ?

Thank you very much,

Best regards,
