[PATCH] Fix: perf data convert: leak of bt_ctf_field_type

Show all headers | View raw

The ctf_writer structure contains an union of a structure containing
7 pointer members and an array of 6 struct bt_ctf_field_type*, which
are used to release the references to these objects in
ctf_writer__cleanup_data().

26812d46 introduced the u32_hex member and should have increased the
array's size. The disparity results in the last member of the "data"
structure being leaked as its reference is never released/put.

Philippe Proulx proposed a patch back in February which hasn't received
any feedback and would eliminate the need to manually update this
array.
