Fix FIXME: xstrdup should not be here
Hi,
This FIXME goes into my eyes, when I am about to modify something here,
/* Name is allocated by name_of_child. */
/* FIXME: xstrdup should not be here. */
This FIXME was introduced in the python pretty-pretter patches.
Python pretty-printing [6/6]
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2009-05/msg00467.html
create_child_with_value is called in two paths,
1. varobj_list_children -> create_child -> create_child_with_value,
2. install_dynamic_child -> install_dynamic_child -> varobj_add_child
-> create_child_with_value
In path #1, 'name' is allocated by name_of_child, as the original
comment said, we don't have to duplicate NAME in
create_child_with_value. In path #2, 'name' is got from
PyArg_ParseTuple, and we have to duplicate NAME.
This patch removes the call to xstrdup in create_child_with_value
and call xstrudp in update_dynamic_varobj_children (path #2).
