Or did I miss something?WeiminYes, the second snippet frees the copy returned by ctf_type_aname_raw.It might just be that you are not familiar with the concept of std::unique_ptr in C++:https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/memory/unique_ptrIt's a wrapper around a simple pointer that automatically calls a deleter function when it goes out of scope. gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr is a specialization of std::unique_ptrthat uses xfree as the deleter function. Here's a similar use: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=gdb/fbsd-tdep.c;h=9422e3c1a7e1a65c76b088f42bb5986bd13a089f;hb=HEAD#l1530`fbsd_core_vnode_path` return a pointer to an allocated C String, which `cwd` wraps. When it goes out of scope, `cwd` automatically calls `xfree` with the pointer.Oh, thanks for the explanation, reference and example. Will switch to using gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr<> instead.
Hi Simon,I've switched to using gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr, please see the attached patch, and ran the CTF test suite successfully. Will submit a revised patch upstream shortly.
Thanks again for your reviews and help. Weimin
