Make extract_arg return a std::string
Change extract_arg to return a std::string and fix up all the users. I think string is mildly better than unique_xmalloc_ptr<char>, when possible, because it provides a more robust API. I changed the error messages emitted from find_location_by_number to avoid either writing to a string or an extra allocation; this can be changed but I thought that the new message was not any less clear. You can see an example in the testsuite patch. ChangeLog 2017-09-11 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> * demangle.c (demangle_command): Update. * breakpoint.c (disable_command): Update. (enable_command): Update. (find_location_by_number): Make "number" const. Use get_number_trailer. * cli/cli-utils.c (extract_arg): Return std::string. * probe.c (parse_probe_linespec): Update.
