- Subject: [patch] Fix double free on error while inserting the breakpoint
Hi,
SEGV reproducer:
x86 requires to build GDB with -lmcheck to make the crash reproducible.
Therefore no testsuite testcase is provided.
./gdb -nx -ex start -ex 'set breakpoint always-inserted on' -ex 'b *0' -ex 'delete 2' ./gdb
(Found on ia64 without -lmcheck.)
Regards,

Fix double free on error inserting the breakpoint instruction.
* breakpoint.c (create_breakpoints): Move the
update_global_location_list call to ...
(break_command_really): ... here together with the second local call
both unified after all the cleanups.
