From 879e4d2590b50d63f82c3c3652bc3c7900591f1c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Loeliger Date: Fri, 3 Oct 2008 11:12:33 -0500 Subject: Implement and use an xstrdup() function Many places in dtc use strdup(), but none of them actually check the return value to see if the implied allocation succeeded. This is a potential bug, which we fix in the patch below by replacing strdup() with an xstrdup() which in analogy to xmalloc() will quit with a fatal error if the allocation fails. I felt the introduciton of util.[ch] was a better choice for utility oriented code than directly using srcpos.c for the new string function. This patch is a re-factoring of Dave Gibson's similar patch.
