  To: gcc-patches; +Cc: jit, dmalcolm, Marc Nieper-Wißkirchen

This patch fixes a memory leak in the pass manager. In the existing code,
the m_name_to_pass_map is allocated in pass_manager::register_pass_name, but
never deallocated.  This is fixed by adding a deletion in
pass_manager::~pass_manager.  Moreover the string keys in m_name_to_pass_map are
all dynamically allocated.  To free them, this patch adds a new hash trait for
string hashes that are to be freed when the corresponding hash entry is removed.

This fix is particularly relevant for using GCC as a library through libgccjit.
The memory leak also occurs when libgccjit is instructed to use an external
driver.

Before the patch, compiling the hello world example of libgccjit with
the external driver under Valgrind shows a loss of 12,611 (48 direct)
bytes.  After the patch, no memory leaks are reported anymore.
(Memory leaks occurring when using the internal driver are mostly in
the driver code in gcc/gcc.c and have to be fixed separately.)

The patch has been tested by fully bootstrapping the compiler with the
frontends C, C++, Fortran, LTO, ObjC, JIT and running the test suite
under a x86_64-pc-linux-gnu host.

gcc/ChangeLog:

	PR jit/63854
	* hash-traits.h (struct typed_const_free_remove): New.
	(struct free_string_hash): New.
	* pass_manager.h: Use free_string_hash.
	* passes.c (pass_manager::register_pass_name): Use free_string_hash.
        (pass_manager::~pass_manager): Delete allocated m_name_to_pass_map.
