In upstream master, this macro is defined in 2 headers:
#include "private/memory.h": Refer commit
#include "private/io.h"

tree.c includes these headers. But the commits are not present in our sources and hence we see the error.
I would suggest we add similar definition in tree.c rather than importing a complete header file.

[v-smalavathu]

The upstream master libxml2 version is 2,15.0 but our 2,0 branch libxml2 version is 2.10.4. The files mentioned above is not available like private/memory.h or private/io.h in our version. In our version tree,c file, is does not include 'private/*.h' header files, also does not exist.
-Thanks
