Subject: What's the right way to detect libxml2?
Date: Sun, 22 Oct 2017 10:14:44 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a58d86bf-b8ae-3a1a-32c6-12a248f24f84@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi emacs-devel,
In Flycheck we use ``libxml-parse-region`` if available, and fall back to ``xml-parse-region`` otherwise. We recently realized that our libxml detection code was wrong, however.
We used to write ``(if (fboundp 'libxml-parse-region) (libxml-parse-region …) (xml-parse-region …))``, but this isn't sufficient on Windows, where ``fboundp`` succeeds if Emacs was compiled with libxml support, even if the appropriate DLL isn't installed on the user's system.
What's the proper way to autodetect libxml? We're thinking of doing this instead::
(if (and (fboundp 'libxml-parse-region)
(with-temp-buffer
(insert "<xml/>")
(libxml-parse-region (point-min) (point-max))))
(libxml-parse-region …)
(xml-parse-region …))
Do we have better options?
Thanks!
Clément.
