Fix tracepoint.c:parse_tracepoint_definition leak (and one more)
Coverity points out that gdb/tracepoint.c:parse_tracepoint_definition
can leak 'cond' in this line:
cond = (char *) xmalloc (2 * xlen + 1);
That can leak because we're in a loop and 'cond' may have already been
xmalloc'ed into in a previous iteration. That won't normally happen,
because we don't expect to see a tracepoint definition with multiple
conditions listed, but, it doesn't hurt to be pedantically correct,
in case some stub manages to send something odd back to GDB.
At first I thought I'd just replace the xmalloc call with:
cond = (char *) xrealloc (cond, 2 * xlen + 1);
and be done with it. However, my pedantic self realizes that
warning() can throw as well (due to pagination + Ctrl-C), so I fixed
it using gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr instead.
While doing this, I noticed that these vectors in struct uploaded_tp:
std::vector<char *> actions;
std::vector<char *> step_actions;
hold heap-allocated strings, but nothing is freeing the strings,
AFAICS.
So I ended up switching all the heap-allocated strings in uploaded_tp
to unique pointers. This patch is the result of that.
I also wrote an alternative, but similar patch that uses std::string
throughout instead of gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr, but in the end reverted
it because the code didn't look that much better, and I kind of
dislike replacing pointers with fat std::string's (3 or 4 times the
size of a pointer) in structures.
