From FEDORA_PATCHES Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Fedora GDB patches <invalid@email.com>
Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2017 21:07:50 +0200
Subject: gdb-rhbz1007614-memleak-infpy_read_memory-test.patch
;; Fix 'memory leak in infpy_read_memory()' (RH BZ 1007614)
;;=fedoratest
Original message by Tom Tromey:
<https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-03/msg00955.html>
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.
commit cc0265cdda9dc7e8665e8bfcf5b4477489daf27c

* python/py-inferior.c (infpy_read_memory): Remove cleanups and
explicitly free 'buffer' on exit paths. Decref 'membuf_object'
before returning.
