From c978bd5226f1ed73456ac468a7ed50af3d24dc84 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Armbruster Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2020 10:43:33 +0200 Subject: qapi: Clean up visitor's recovery from input with invalid type An alternate type's visit_type_FOO() fails when it runs into an invalid ->type. If it's an input visit, we then need to free the the object we got from visit_start_alternate(). We do that with qapi_free_FOO(), which uses the dealloc visitor. Trouble is that object is in a bad state: its ->type is invalid. So the dealloc visitor will run into the same error again, and the error recovery skips deallocating the alternate's (invalid) alternative. Works, because qapi_free_FOO() ignores the error. Avoid it instead: free the messed up object with by g_free().
