Subject: Re: [PATCH] Fix resource leak found by Coverity
Date: Wed, 10 Oct 2018 14:11:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ec3f7ef8-1396-1d11-9a4d-9611cebbde43@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1539179578-32250-1-git-send-email-gbenson@redhat.com>

Please use some more descriptive subject in these emails/commits,
otherwise we're going to end up with dozens of indistinct 
"Fix resource leak found by Coverity" patches/emails.  :-)

E.g., "Fix leak in valops.c:find_oload_champ" or some such.

As for the patch itself, I think that we'd still be leaking bv->rank,
right?  Not just here, but in the callers of rank_function
as well?

I have a patch from last year here that converts the badness
vector to a C++ std::vector:

 https://github.com/palves/gdb/commits/palves/badness_vector

See top two commits.

I guess a better approach would be to get that in instead.

Simon had a badness_vector C++ification patch too,
though his was different.  ISTR that I prefer my approach,
but I won't be surprised if Simon preferred his.  :-)

Thanks,
Pedro Alves
