[PATCH v4 19/35] libctf: don't leak hash keys or values on value replacement

Nick Alcock nick.alcock@oracle.com
Tue Sep 24 13:52:00 GMT 2019 
When a ctf_dynhash_insert() finds a slot already existing, it should
call the key and value free functions on the existing key and value and
move the passed-in key into place, so that the lifetime rules for hash
keys are always the same no matter whether the key existed or not but
neither are the keys or values leaked.

New in v3.

libctf/
	* ctf-hash.c (ctf_hashtab_insert): Pass in the key and value
	freeing functions: if set, free the key and value if the slot
	already exists.  Always reassign the key.
        (ctf_dynhash_insert): Adjust call appropriately.
        (ctf_hash_insert_type): Likewise.
