Subject: [Bug #126353] xmlparse.h does not indicate a version
Date: Wed, 20 Dec 2000 17:57:31 -0800

Bug #126353, was updated on 2000-Dec-19 09:04
Here is a current snapshot of the bug.

Project: Expat XML Parser
Category: None
Status: Closed
Resolution: Fixed
Bug Group: None
Priority: 6
Submitted by: loewis
Assigned to : fdrake
Summary: xmlparse.h does not indicate a version

Details: Applications that need to compile for different versions of expat cannot determine the expat version at compile time. Therefore, manual intervention or advanced guessing is necessary to compile such applications, which is undesirable.

Follow-Ups:

Comment:
Added compile-time detectable version information to expat.h (new name for xmlparse.h).  Three new #defines, XML_MAJOR_VERSION, XML_MINOR_VERSION, and XML_MICRO_VERSION, have been added.  XML_ExpatVersion() computes it's result dynamically using this information, and the new function XML_ExpatVersionInfo() returns this information in a structure.

This will be available in Expat 1.96.0.

Comment:
Assigned to me, since I asked Martin to actually make this a bug report.  I'll note that the application in question is the Python binding for Expat, but the need is not limited to scripting language bindings.
