Fix leak in mdebugread.c
Coverity points out that all the "continue;" statements in the switch case in parse_partial_symbols leak STABSTRING. This is because we only release STABSTRING at the end of the scope, with: if (stabstring && stabstring != debug_info->ss + fh->issBase + sh.iss) xfree (stabstring); but that bit of code is skipped if a case in the switch statement ends with "continue". Fix this by using gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr to manage the heap-allocated version of 'stabsstring'. I don't know how to test this. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * mdebugread.c (parse_partial_symbols): Use gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr to manage heap-allocated 'stabsstring'.
