commit bae7501e87ab614115d9d3213b4dd18d96e604db Author: Alan Modra Date: Sat Jul 1 21:58:10 2017 +0930 Use bfd_malloc_and_get_section It's nicer than xmalloc followed by bfd_get_section_contents, since xmalloc exits on failure and needs a check that its size_t arg doesn't lose high bits when converted from bfd_size_type. PR binutils/21665 * objdump.c (strtab): Make var a bfd_byte*. (disassemble_section): Don't limit malloc size. Instead, use bfd_malloc_and_get_section. (read_section_stabs): Use bfd_malloc_and_get_section. Return bfd_byte*. (find_stabs_section): Remove now unnecessary cast. * objcopy.c (copy_object): Use bfd_malloc_and_get_section. Free contents on error return. * nlmconv.c (copy_sections): Use bfd_malloc_and_get_section.
