[libvirt] [PATCH] domain_conf.c: avoid a leak and the need for "cleanup:" block

[Jim Meyering <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This avoids a leak and the need for a "cleanup:" block,
along with its three goto statements.

While often I prefer to write functions with a single return point,
this one no longer has the need, now that "addr" is freed immediately
after allocation.

Adding the semicolon in the "case..." stmt may look odd.
It's there because the first stmt is the declaration of "port".
If you'd prefer, an alternative is to put the contents of that
case inside a {...} block.

Subject: [PATCH] domain_conf.c: avoid a leak and the need for "cleanup:" block

* src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainChrDefFormat): Plug a leak on
an error path, and at the same time, eliminate the need for a
"cleanup:" block.  Before, the "return -1" after the switch
would leak an "addr" string.  Now, by reversing the port,addr-
getting blocks we can free "addr" immediately and skip the goto.
