kconfig: fix memory leak from range properties
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Currently, sym_validate_range() duplicates the range string using
xstrdup(), which is overwritten by a subsequent sym_calc_value() call.
It results in a memory leak.

Instead, only the pointer should be copied.

Below is a test case, with a summary from Valgrind.

[Test Kconfig]

  config FOO
          int "foo"
          range 10 20

[Test .config]

  CONFIG_FOO=0

[Before]

  LEAK SUMMARY:
     definitely lost: 3 bytes in 1 blocks
     indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
       possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
     still reachable: 17,465 bytes in 21 blocks
          suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks

[After]

  LEAK SUMMARY:
     definitely lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
     indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
       possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
     still reachable: 17,462 bytes in 20 blocks
          suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
