Subject: RFA: fix memory leak in dwarf2read.c
Date: Thu, 28 Aug 2008 22:14:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3iqtkwzyz.fsf@fleche.redhat.com> (raw)

I found a memory leak while looking at dwarf2read.

We xstrdup the directory name, but nothing ever frees it.
The simplest fix seemed to be to allocate it on the objfile obstack.

Built and regtested on x86-64 (compile farm).
I also verified this, before and after, with valgrind.

Ok?

Tom
