Subject: [PATCH 22/27] Fix memory leak in mdebugread.c
Date: Fri, 20 Jan 2023 14:46:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230120214618.3236224-23-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230120214618.3236224-1-tom@tromey.com>

mdebugread.c allocates blocks on the heap.  However, this is a memory
leak if the corresponding objfile is ever destroyed.

This patch changes this code to use allocate_block instead, fixing a
FIXME from 2003.

I don't know how to test this patch.
