tools: libxl: make it illegal to pass libxl__realloc(gc) a non-gc ptr
That is, if gc is not NOGC and ptr is not NULL then ptr must be associated with a gc. Currently in this case the new_ptr would not be registered with any gc, which Coverity rightly points out (in various different places) would be a memory leak. It would also be possible to fix this by adding a libxl__ptr_add() at the same point, however semantically it seems like a programming error to gc-realloc a pointer which is not associated with the gc in question, so treat it as such. Compile tested only, this change could expose latent bugs. Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Acked-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com>
