libctf: make ctf_dump not crash on OOM
ctf_dump calls ctf_str_append extensively but never checks to see if it returns NULL (on OOM). If it ever does, we truncate the string we are appending to and leak it! Instead, create a variant of ctf_str_append that returns the *original string* on OOM, and use it in ctf-dump. It is far better to omit a tiny piece of a dump on OOM than to omit a bigger piece, and it is also better to do this in what is after all purely debugging code than it is to uglify ctf-dump.c with huge numbers of checks for the out-of-memory case. Slightly truncated debugging output is better than no debugging output at all and an out-of-memory message. New in v4. libctf/ * ctf-impl.h (ctf_str_append_noerr): Declare. * ctf-util.c (ctf_str_append_noerr): Define in terms of ctf_str_append. * ctf-dump.c (str_append): New, call it. (ctf_dump_format_type): Use str_append, not ctf_str_append. (ctf_dump_label): Likewise. (ctf_dump_objts): Likewise. (ctf_dump_funcs): Likewise. (ctf_dump_var): Likewise. (ctf_dump_member): Likewise. (ctf_dump_type): Likewise. (ctf_dump): Likewise.
