Pedro Alves 67aa1f3c28 Fix tracepoint.c:parse_tracepoint_definition leak (and one more)
Coverity points out that gdb/tracepoint.c:parse_tracepoint_definition
can leak 'cond' in this line:

      cond = (char *) xmalloc (2 * xlen + 1);

That can leak because we're in a loop and 'cond' may have already been
xmalloc'ed into in a previous iteration.  That won't normally happen,
because we don't expect to see a tracepoint definition with multiple
conditions listed, but, it doesn't hurt to be pedantically correct,
in case some stub manages to send something odd back to GDB.

At first I thought I'd just replace the xmalloc call with:

      cond = (char *) xrealloc (cond, 2 * xlen + 1);

and be done with it.  However, my pedantic self realizes that
warning() can throw as well (due to pagination + Ctrl-C), so I fixed
it using gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr instead.

While doing this, I noticed that these vectors in struct uploaded_tp:

  std::vector<char *> actions;
  std::vector<char *> step_actions;

hold heap-allocated strings, but nothing is freeing the strings,
AFAICS.

So I ended up switching all the heap-allocated strings in uploaded_tp
to unique pointers.  This patch is the result of that.

I also wrote an alternative, but similar patch that uses std::string
throughout instead of gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr, but in the end reverted
it because the code didn't look that much better, and I kind of
dislike replacing pointers with fat std::string's (3 or 4 times the
size of a pointer) in structures.

gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-01-10  Pedro Alves  <palves@redhat.com>

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
