Subject: Introduce ui_file_as_string
X-Git-Url: http://drtracing.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=8de00631b8bd1c328f1916b1fd95bd0d9ff2017e;hp=4d01a485d29732b19743e8b138897f3509e071b0;p=deliverable%2Fbinutils-gdb.git

Introduce ui_file_as_string

ui_file_as_string is a variant of ui_file_xstrdup that returns a
std::string instead of a xmalloc'ed char *.  The idea is using the new
function to eliminate "make_cleanup (xfree, ...)"  cleanups
throughout.

Following patches will make use of this.
