[PULL 23/39] hw/gpio/pca9554: Avoid leak in pca9554_set_pin()
Posted by Philippe Mathieu-Daudé 3 weeks, 5 days ago
From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>

In pca9554_set_pin() we have a string property which we parse in
order to set some non-string fields in the device state.  So we call
visit_type_str(), passing it the address of the local variable
state_str.

visit_type_str() will allocate a new copy of the string; we
never free this string, so the result is a memory leak, detected
by ASAN during a "make check" run:

Direct leak of 5 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:

Make the state_str g_autofree, so that we will always free
it, on both error-exit and success codepaths.
