Ok thanks, this is what I pushed:

Subject: [PATCH] Fix leak in linespec parser

linespec_parser_new allocates a std::vector<symtab *> at line 2756, and stores
the pointer to this vector in PARSER_RESULT (parser)->file_symtabs. At 3
different places in linespec.c, another std::vector is assigned to a
linespec->file_symtabs, without first deleting the current value.
The leak is fixed by assigning the vector itself instead of the pointer.
Everything should be moved, so there is no significant data copy
involved.
Tested on debian/amd64, + a bunch of tests re-run under valgrind
(including the test that throws an error).
gdb/ChangeLog:
* linespec.c (symtab_vector_up): Remove.
(symtabs_from_filename): Change return type to std::vector.
(collect_symtabs_from_filename): Likewise.
(create_sals_line_offset): Assign return value of
collect_symtabs_from_filename to *ls->file_symtabs.
(convert_explicit_location_to_linespec): Remove call to release.
(parse_linespec): Likewise.
(symtab_collector) <symtab_collector>: Remove initialization of
m_symtabs.
<release_symtabs>: Change return type to std::vector<symtab *>.
<operator ()>: Adjust.
