gdbserver: fix memory leak when handling qsupported packet
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
When building gdbserver with AddressSanitizer, I get this annoying
little leak when gdbserver exits:

==307817==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks

    Direct leak of 14 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

    SUMMARY: AddressSanitizer: 14 byte(s) leaked in 1 allocation(s).

This is due to the handling of unknown qsupported features in
handle_query.  The `qsupported` vector is built, containing all the
feature names received from GDB.  As we iterate on them, when we
encounter unknown ones, we move them at the beginning of the vector, in
preparation of passing this vector of unknown features down to the
target (which may know about them).

When moving these unknown features to other slots in the vector, we
overwrite other pointers without freeing them, which therefore leak.

An easy fix would be to add a `free` when doing the move.  However, I
think this is a good opportunity to sprinkle a bit of automatic memory
management in this code.

So, use a vector of std::string which owns all the entries.  And use a
separate vector (that doesn't own the entries) for the unknown ones,
which is then passed to target_process_qsupported.

Given that the `c_str` method of std::string returns a `const char *`,
it follows that process_stratum_target::process_qsupported must accept a
`const char **` instead of a `char **`.  And while at it, change the
pointer + size paramters to use an array_view instead.

gdbserver/ChangeLog:

	* server.cc (handle_query): Use std::vector of
	std::string for `qsupported` vector.  Use separate
	vector for unknowns.
	* target.h (class process_stratum_target) <process_qsupported>:
	Change parameters to array_view of const char *.
	(target_process_qsupported): Remove `count` parameter.
	* target.cc (process_stratum_target::process_qsupported): Change
	parameters to array_view of const char *.
	* linux-x86-low.cc (class x86_target) <process_qsupported>:
	Likewise.
