Add virtual destructor to tui_layout_base
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
I stumbled on some ASan failures when using the TUI, when tearing down a
TUI layout.  The simplest way to trigger it is to run:

  $ ./gdb --data-directory=data-directory -batch -ex "layout next"

The ASan report is:

The problem is that the tui_layout_base is missing a virtual destructor.
We allocate a derived object (tui_layout_split), but delete it through a
tui_layout_base pointer.  Since the tui_layout_base destructor is not
virtual, the derived (tui_layout_split) destructor is not called, only
the base destructor.

That code is not in gdb-9-branch, so I don't think this patch is
relevant for the stable branch.

Note that this is caught as a diagnostic with clang:

GCC has the similar -Wdelete-non-virtual-dtor, enabled by -Wall, but it
doesn't show up because warnings are inhibited for system headers, where
std::unique_ptr is defined.  There is a bug about it here:
