- Subject: [patch]: Fix memory leak of target-descriptions.c
target-descriptions.c has a memory leek in function
maint_print_c_tdesc_cmd. char *function is xmalloc at line 1016.
There are returns at the end of this function without calling free.
And this variable is just used in this function. So I change it to
"alloca".
This patch is for the GDB cvs version.
