I just wanted to be defensive here and use the common style and
emphasis that this is an error condition. But this if condition and
goto gets removed now, because Daniel suggested on IRC to steal the
content of the buffer instead of strdup'ing it:
diff --git a/src/esx/esx_util.c b/src/esx/esx_util.c
index 24b931f..9ab0f70 100644
--- a/src/esx/esx_util.c
+++ b/src/esx/esx_util.c
@@ -847,12 +847,8 @@ esxUtil_ConvertToUTF8(const char *encoding, const
char *string)
goto cleanup;
}
- result = strdup((const char *)xmlBufferContent(utf8));
-
- if (result == NULL) {
- virReportOOMError();
- goto cleanup;
- }
+ result = (char *)utf8->content;
+ utf8->content = NULL;
cleanup:
xmlCharEncCloseFunc(handler);
Thanks, pushed with this diff folded in.
