Subject: [RFA] Use std::string in reread_symbols
Date: Sat, 19 May 2018 15:23:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180519151713.17535-1-tom@tromey.com> (raw)

This removes a cleanup from reread_symbols by using std::string.  This
fixes a memory leak, because this cleanup is ordinarily discarded, not
run.

Tested by the buildbot.

	* symfile.c (reread_symbols): Use std::string for original_name.
