It takes a pointer to heap, then either returns its argument, or reallocates it, frees the argument, and returns the reallocated area. It frees with g_free, so it assumes its equivalence with free(), haha. The end result, it either returns what strdup returned of frees it. Therefore if you free what strudup returned, you double-free it. I honestly think this madness must stop and huri_field_escape must allocate a new buffer every time. Then we would not need the strdup there at all. It only exists to satisfy the requirement to pass a pointer to heap in case val is a const or whatnot. -- Pete -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe hail-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
