SVD file crash on empty content [solved]

[jdubois]

Empty description elements in an SVD file appear to crash EmBitz. (EmBitz 2.50 on Windows 11)

The below small SVD file will crash Embitz when I run "Start/Stop Debug Session".  If I add some text to the description element, it does not crash.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

I never tested that. I always used real vendor files.
I will solve this in the 2.6

Me too, which is why I only discovered it now. I got hold of a pretty dirty SVD from somewhere which crashed EmBitz, but svdconv.exe said it was ok. I then tracked it down to some of the descriptions being empty.
