From cd7c32c36ae53c00e9b0731c58de37dc28b88fb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philippe Waroquiers Date: Sun, 29 Sep 2019 18:26:23 +0200 Subject: Fix leak due to assigning a xstrdup-ed string to the std::string gdb_datadir Valgrind reports the following leak: ==32623== 56 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 1,099 of 6,654 ==32623== at 0x4835753: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:307) ==32623== by 0x25CF67: xmalloc (alloc.c:60) ==32623== by 0x65FBD9: xstrdup (xstrdup.c:34) ==32623== by 0x413D9E: captured_main_1(captured_main_args*) (main.c:553) ==32623== by 0x414FFA: captured_main (main.c:1172) ==32623== by 0x414FFA: gdb_main(captured_main_args*) (main.c:1197) ==32623== by 0x22531A: main (gdb.c:32) Commit f2aec7f6d14 changed gdb_datadir to std::string. So, xstrdup-ing the result of relocate_gdb_directory (returning a std::string) is not needed and creates a leak. Fix the leak by removing the xstrdup and the not needed c_str (). Also removes a useless conversion of gdb_datadir to std::string. gdb/ChangeLog 2019-10-01 Philippe Waroquiers * main.c (relocate_gdbinit_path_maybe_in_datadir): Remove std::string conversion of gdb_datadir.
