PR gdb/17210 - fix possible memory leak in read_memory_robust
PR gdb/17210 concerns a possible memory leak in read_memory_robust. The bug can happen because read_memory_robust allocates memory, does not install any cleanups, and invokes QUIT. Similarly, target_read calls QUIT, so it too can potentially throw. The fix is to install cleanups to guard the allocated memory. Built and regtested on x86-64 Fedora 23. I couldn't think of a way to test this, so no new test; and of course this means it should have more careful review. 2016-06-29 Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com> PR gdb/17210: * target.c (free_memory_read_result_vector): Take a pointer to the VEC as an argument. (read_memory_robust): Install a cleanup for "result". * mi/mi-main.c (mi_cmd_data_read_memory_bytes): Update.
