Fix splay tree KEY leak detected in GDB test gdb.base/macscp.exp
When a node is removed from a splay tree, the splay tree was not using the function splay_tree_delete_key_fn to release the key. This was causing a leak, fixed by Tom Tromey. This patch fixes another key leak, that happens when a key equal to a key already present is inserted. In such a case, we have to release the old KEY. Note that this is based on the assumption that the caller always allocates a new KEY when doing an insert. Also, clarify the documentation about when the release functions are called. 2019-02-11 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * splay-tree.h (splay_tree_delete_key_fn): Update comment. (splay_tree_delete_value_fn): Likewise. libiberty/ChangeLog 2019-02-11 Philippe Waroquiers <philippe.waroquiers@skynet.be> * splay-tree.c (splay_tree_insert): Also release old KEY in case of insertion of a key equal to an already present key. (splay_tree_new_typed_alloc): Update comment. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk@268793 138bc75d-0d04-0410-961f-82ee72b054a4
