From 0d0b0ea29af6abc0790d22f843a3d0cb09424a3a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Tromey Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2018 15:35:04 -0600 Subject: Fix a memory leak in py-param.c Mark Wielaard pointed out this memory leak to me: ==17633== 775 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 13,346 of 13,967 ==17633== at 0x4C2DB6B: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:299) ==17633== by 0x6652B7: xmalloc (common-utils.c:45) ==17633== by 0xC4C889: xstrdup (xstrdup.c:34) ==17633== by 0x5A71FD: unicode_to_encoded_string(_object*, char const*) (py-utils.c:81) ==17633== by 0x5A73EB: python_string_to_host_string(_object*) (py-utils.c:158) ==17633== by 0x59CC6C: get_doc_string(_object*, _object*) (py-param.c:334) ==17633== by 0x59D2AA: parmpy_init(_object*, _object*, _object*) (py-param.c:728) The bug here is that parmpy_init is written as though add_setshow_generic takes ownership of its doc-string arguments. However, it does not. This patch fixes the bug in a straightforward way and also applies some missing constification to make the problem more apparent. Tested on x86-64 Fedora 26. gdb/ChangeLog 2018-06-20 Tom Tromey * python/py-param.c (add_setshow_generic): Make parameters const.
