bpo-36262: Fix _Py_dg_strtod() memory leak (goto undfl) by vstinner · Pull Request #12276 · python/cpython

@vstinner

Fix an unlikely memory leak on conversion from string to float in the
function _Py_dg_strtod() used by float(str), complex(str),
pickle.load(), marshal.load(), etc.

Fix an unlikely memory leak in _Py_dg_strtod() on "undfl:" label:
rewrite memory management in this function to always release all
memory before exiting the function. Initialize variables to NULL, and
set them to NULL after calling Bfree() at the "cont:" label.

Note: Bfree(NULL) is well defined: it does nothing.
