Here's an updated patch.  Let me know what you think.

Tom

commit a922232c1fc11a5f932140d8dfa8fcea963cecad
Author: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 15 22:41:03 2018 -0700

    Remove a cleanup from parse_expression_for_completion
    
    This removes a cleanup from parse_expression_for_completion, by
    changing various expression-completion functions to use std::string
    rather than explicit malloc+free.
    
    Regression tested by the buildbot.
