But is that OK, maybe we want to load the file without symbols then?

The function also has an unchecked call to realloc(). (All these things are handled correctly in the linux-user/ version of this function.)

AFAICT symbols are only used for debug tracing, so carrying on without them is a reasonable strategy. (Although if you fail a malloc this early on the chances of successfully running anything are not good, so it's a bit moot.) -- PMM

You are correct. cppcheck only reports the first location in a function. I should have called it again after my modifications. > > The function also has an unchecked call to realloc(). > > (All these things are handled correctly in the linux-user/ > version of this function.) The realloc() is handled in linux-user, but not in a correct way. A new version of my patch fixes the missing memory leaks and realloc for bsd-user. A second patch is needed to fix realloc for linux-user, too. > Blue Swirl wrote: >> If we used qemu_malloc(), this wouldn't happen since it will exit if >> malloc() fails.
