WebCore::XMLMalloc::free() calls itself when xmlFree() is defined to call libmalloc free(). After libxml2 was updated to deprecate its custom allocator functions, xmlFree() was changed to a macro that calls free() instead. However, due to the way WebCore::XMLMalloc::free() is defined, the compiler thought it would call itself via infinite recursion: > All paths through this function will call itself > XMLDocumentParserLibxml2.cpp:122 <rdar://155844722>
