Philippe Waroquiers 8e6a5953e1 Fix 4K leak in open_source_file each time next/step changes of function.
When current function changes after a next/step, GDB shows a message such as:
  (gdb) s
  info_fun1 ()
      at /bd/home/philippe/gdb/git/build_smallthing/gdb/testsuite/../../../smallthing/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/info_qt.c:41
  41	  info_qt_inc++;
  (gdb)

Valgrind reports a 4K definite leak for each such message (full stacktrace of
the leak below).

This patch fixes this leak, by transferring the current s->fullname to the
unique_xmalloc_ptr fullname given to find_and_open_source.

Note that I do not understand why find_and_open_source always tries to
re-execute the substitution rules on the provided fullname, as source.c
symtab_to_fullname just blindly returns a non NULL s->fullname, counting on
forget_cached_source_info to be called if search dir or substitution rules are
changed.  Similarly, psymtab_to_fullname also just returns a non NULL
ps->fullname.

		   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.
