    fix memory leak xml header encoding field with XML_PARSE_IGNORE_ENC · 500c54ef
    Bart De Schuymer authored
    When the xml parser encounters an xml encoding in an xml header while
    configured with option XML_PARSE_IGNORE_ENC, it fails to free memory
    allocated for storing the encoding.
    The patch below fixes this.
    How to reproduce:
    1. Change doc/examples/parse4.c to add xmlCtxtUseOptions(ctxt,
    XML_PARSE_IGNORE_ENC); after the call to xmlCreatePushParserCtxt.
    2. Rebuild
    3. run the following command from the top libxml2 directory:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.libs/ valgrind --leak-check=full
    ./doc/examples/.libs/parse4 ./test.xml , where test.xml contains
    following
    input:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-81" ?><hi/>
    valgrind will report:
    ==1964== 10 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1 of 1
    ==1964==    at 0x4C272DB: malloc (in
