  Add a constructor to gdb_block, change the name field to be a
gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr.

gdb/ChangeLog:

	* jit.c (struct gdb_block): Add constructor, initialize
	real_block field.
	<name): Change type to gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr.
	(struct gdb_symtab) <~gdb_symtab>: Free blocks with delete.
	(jit_block_open_impl): Use gdb_block constructor.
	(finalize_symtab): Adjust to gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptr.

Minor typo: "<name" -> "<name>"

Oh thanks!  I'll fix it locally, while I wait for more feedback.

Have you considered making this a vector of unique_ptrs, so you don't have
to manually delete them?

Yes, it's done in the following patch.  I went perhaps a bit overboard with the
patch splitting, but I prefer to do these changes in many smaller patches, so that
if something goes wrong, it's easier to identify the culprit.

I wonder whether it wouldn't be simpler to use std::list<object> for these cases.

Thanks,

I don't think the code would be much different if use used a list, so I don't expect it
to be much simpler.  If there's a compelling argument for using a list, I can do the
change, but if it's equivalent, I'd rather stick with what is already done.

It wouldn't be that much simpler, but simpler regardless, I believe.
Instead of a vector of heap-allocated pointers, with means an extra levels of
indirection and use of a unique_ptr to manage memory, the list would hold
the objects directly, and you'd get address stability encoded in the
data structure.  I don't think changing it would be anything remotely
complicated, since vector/list's apis are quite similar, if not the same
for the uses here.  Seems like a win to me.  But I'm not unhappy with
what you have.

Thanks,
Pedro Alves

Ok, I can do a v2 with that.
