Subject: Remove a ui-related memory leak
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b8043d27217ff89abba733476cb71c3656f5722a;p=binutils-gdb.git

Remove a ui-related memory leak

gdb_setup_readline makes new streams and assigns to the various stream
members of struct ui.  However, these assignments cause the previous
values to leak.  As far as I can, this code is simply unnecessary and
can be removed -- with the exception of the assignment to gdb_stdtarg,
which is not initialized anywhere else.
