In path/to/examples/libxml2, initialize the git submodule:

git submodule update --init repo

in libxml2/repo:

./autogen.sh

and optionally ./configure (autogen.sh currently runs this automatically, so you're not required to).

in libxml2/repo:

intercept-build make check

If your compile_commands.json enables optimizations(-O2) you will need to remove them so that unsupported compiler_builtins are less likely to be generated and leave you in an uncompilable state.

Run rm .libs/*.o here to get rid of gcc generated staticlibs or else you may see CRITICAL:root:error: some ELF objects were not compiled with clang: in the next step

in libxml2:

./translate.py to translate all required c files (including tests) into the libxml2/repo/rust/src and libxml2/repo/rust/examples directories.

in libxml2:

./patch_translated_code.py to apply patches to some known issues in the generated code.

Since each of these tests have their own main file, we decided to move them to the rust examples directory instead of trying to wrap them in the test framework.

You can run a test like so: cargo run --example EXAMPLE where EXAMPLE is one of the files in libxml2/repo/rust/examples, not including the file extension.

• testReader seems to be mostly working identically but with some slight differences. Try testReader --valid test/japancrlf.xml. It produces an extra "Ns verBoom: Validation failed: no DTD found !, (null), (null)"

• runtest seems to be consistently successful now
• testRelax seems to work equivalently with files as in C
• testXPath seems to work equivalently with files as in C
• xmllint seems to work equivalently with files as in C
• testSAX prints out nothing on success, just like C version
• testModule prints "Success!"
• testHTML works with input files from test/HTML and produces same output as C version
• testRegexp works with files from test/regexp and produces same output as C version
• testrecurse prints "Total 9 tests, no errors"
• testlimits prints "Total 514 tests, no errors"
  • Note: text output seems noticeably slower than the C version
• testThreads prints nothing (but no longer prints parsing errors)
• testapi runs successfully and prints "Total: 1172 functions, 280928 tests, 0 errors"
• testC14N prints parsed output when given a file to read from test/c14n
• testSchemas no longer crashes when provided a file from test/schemas/*.xsd
• testchar prints tests completed
• testdict prints "dictionary tests succeeded 20000 strings"
• testAutomata takes a file from test/automata and produces equivalent output to C run
• testURI waits on input from stdin, needs example input from test/URI. See Makefile.am and result/URI/uri.data for examples

• testchar all cross-checks match
• testdict all cross-checks match
• testapi all cross-checks match (345 million)
• runtest all cross-checks match
• testlimits all cross-checks match, but requires -fno-builtin as a compiler argument
• testSAX works
• testHTML works
• testRegexp works
• testModule requires testdso.so, doesn't work yet
• testAutomata works
• testSchemas works on all files from test/schemas
• testRelax works on all files from test/relaxng
• testURI works
• testC14N works
• testXPath works on files under test/XPath/expr and test/xmlid
• testThreads deadlocks, still investigating
• xmlllint does not compile
