Subject: ar.c memory leak fixme
X-Git-Tag: binutils-2_44~289
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d58fbef40d70057b83d3773aa409b402236a7e62;p=thirdparty%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

ar.c memory leak fixme

Cure the leak by always mallocing the string in output_filename,
and freeing the old one any time we assign output_filename.
