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. gdb/ChangeLog: 2019-01-10 Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com> * breakpoint.c (read_uploaded_action) (create_tracepoint_from_upload): Adjust to use gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr. * ctf.c (ctf_write_uploaded_tp): (SET_ARRAY_FIELD): Use emplace_back. (SET_STRING_FIELD): Adjust to use gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr. * tracefile-tfile.c (tfile_write_uploaded_tp): * tracepoint.c (parse_tracepoint_definition): Adjust to use gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr. * tracepoint.h (struct uploaded_tp) <cond, actions, step_actions, at_string, cond_string, cmd_strings>: Replace char pointers with gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr.
