Subject: patch 9.2.0257: unnecessary memory allocation in set_callback()
X-Git-Tag: v9.2.0257^0
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=02abcf381f3bdb58447ec6e66ee4f4d15d0783cc;p=thirdparty%2Fvim.git

patch 9.2.0257: unnecessary memory allocation in set_callback()

Problem:  Unnecessary memory allocation in set_callback(); after
          set_callback(), callers must manually free the source
          callback's name if cb_free_name is set.
Solution: Refactor set_callback() to re-use the callback name when
          possible to avoid extra memory allocations and clean up so the
          callers do not have to take care themselves (Shane Harper).

closes: #19831
