Subject: Fix: missing strdup oom check in lttng create.c
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org/?p=lttng-tools.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=ab2e5c7c226283aedef88cbc4683c8ad4a7937f2

Fix: missing strdup oom check in lttng create.c

Introduce tmp_path to ensure that no code path can possibly try to free
the return value of utils_get_home_dir(). Re-using alloc_path for both
static and dynamically allocated pointer is error-prone.
