Subject: [PATCH] Fix lrealpath memory leak in build_id_to_debug_bfd
Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2015 21:41:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1434058879-32602-1-git-send-email-keiths@redhat.com> (raw)

Valgrind reports memory leaking from build_id_to_debug_bfd:
==7261== 88 bytes in 2 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 31,319 of 35,132
==7261==    at 0x4A06BCF: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:296)
==7261==    by 0x32CA88A9B9: strdup (strdup.c:42)
==7261==    by 0xFE62AB: lrealpath (lrealpath.c:88)

==7261==    by 0x8E58AF: solib_add (solib.c:1029)

This occurs because commit 1be5090b in bfd, addressing PR 11983, started
taking a copy of the input filename instead of directly caching it.  It
appears that this code was never updated to reflect that API change.

This simple patch creates a cleanup to free the return value for lrealpath.
