Subject: [PATCH] debugedit: Handle realloc failure correctly.
Date: Thu,  1 Jul 2021 14:52:35 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210701125235.30305-1-mark@klomp.org> (raw)

Although we are already in trouble when realloc fails don't make it
worse.  When realloc fails we have to free the original pointer we
wanted to extend to not cause an even bigger memory leak.

	* tools/debugedit.c (read_abbrev): Free original t after realloc
	fails.
