Subject: gdb-rhbz1007614-memleak-infpy_read_memory-test.patch

;; Fix 'memory leak in infpy_read_memory()' (RH BZ 1007614)

;;=fedoratest

  Message-ID: <871uoc1va3.fsf@fleche.redhat.com>

Comment from Sergio Durigan Junior:

  In order to correctly test this patch, I wrote a testcase based on Jan

  Kratochvil's <gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/gcore-excessive-memory.exp>.  The

  testcase, which can be seen below, tests GDB in order to see if the

  amount of memory being leaked is minimal, as requested in the bugzilla.

  It is hard to define what "minimum" is, so I ran the testcase on all

  supported RHEL architectures and came up with an average.

    	* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_read_memory): Remove cleanups and

    	explicitly free 'buffer' on exit paths.  Decref 'membuf_object'

    	before returning.
