First of all, you are using the xpathctx parameter directly as
parameter for xmlXPathRegisterNs, while it is an OCaml value which
wraps the actual object; see how it is done in e.g.
v2v_xml_xpath_eval_expression, using the Xpathctx_val macro.
Second, the order of the arguments in your xmlXPathRegisterNs is wrong:
- yours: xmlXPathRegisterNs(prefix, uri, ctxt)
- actual function: xmlXPathRegisterNs(ctxt, prefix, uri)
This too.
Notice that Val_foo() means convert foo to value, and
Foo_val() means convert value to foo.
In that file, only node_ptr/xmlNodePtr can be cast directly from value
to the C type, and that's for a very special and peculiar reason. For
everything else you have to convert between value and the C type (and
vice versa) using the appropriate macro.
