[swift-users] XML parsing on Linux, with Swift 3.1

[Georgios Moschovitis]

As an example, this SegFaults:

import Foundation

class ParserDelegate: NSObject, XMLParserDelegate {
    func parserDidStartDocument(_ parser: XMLParser) {
        print("Starting document")
    }

    func parser(_ parser: XMLParser, didStartElement elementName: String, namespaceURI: String?, qualifiedName qName: String?, attributes attributeDict: [String : String] = [:]) {
        print("*** \(elementName)")
    }
}

let xml = "<root><title name=\"test\">George</title></root>"
let data = xml.data(using: .utf8)!
let xmlParser = XMLParser(data: data)
xmlParser.delegate = ParserDelegate()
xmlParser.parse()
