Memory leak reading frame register during inferior event handling
When using a conditional breakpoint where the condition evaluated to false a large number of times before the program stopped, a user reported that GDB's memory consumption was growing very quickly until it ran out of memory. The problem was tracked down to temporary struct values being created each time the program stops and handles an inferior event. Because the breakpoint condition usually evaluates to false, there can be a fairly large number of such events to be handled before we eventually return the prompt to the user (which is when we would normally purge such values). This patch fixes the issue by making sure that handle_inferior_event releases all new values created during its execution. gdb/ChangeLog: * infrun.c (handle_inferior_event_1): Renames handle_inferior_event. (handle_inferior_event): New function.
