Subject: Fix leak of auto_obstack objfile_per_bfd_storage->storage_obstack;
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5ca79eae06a692cca5bb795045ffb8961e2b8ae8;p=binutils-gdb.git

Fix leak of auto_obstack objfile_per_bfd_storage->storage_obstack;

  commit 23732b1e32dd58f7c731d9aee56ff0b22a645d53
  Author: Pedro Alves <palves@redhat.com>
  Date:   Tue Jun 27 16:22:08 2017 +0100
changed objfile_per_bfd_storage->storage_obstack
from  'struct obstack storage_obstack;'
to    'auto_obstack storage_obstack;'
So the obstack is auto allocated when the  objfile_per_bfd_storage ctor is
manually called by get_objfile_bfd_data).
However, the ctor call was still followed by a manual call to
      obstack_init (&storage->storage_obstack);

This results in a bunch of leaks detected by valgrind, such as:
==24665== 4,064 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 11,469 of 11,590

==24665==    by 0x647809: syms_from_objfile_1 (symfile.c:1062)

-> remove the manual call to obstack_init.
Reg-tested on Debian 8/amd64, tests results are the same before/after the patch.
valgrind still show some leaks, but less.
