Subject: Fix: lttng-snapshot: use after free of max size argument
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a9cfc0f36bf8ade64df08392b03a9f15409dc01b;p=lttng-tools.git

Fix: lttng-snapshot: use after free of max size argument

gcc 12.1.0 reports:

commands/snapshot.cpp: In function ‘int cmd_snapshot(int, const char**)’:
../../../src/common/error.hpp:139:32: error: pointer ‘max_size_arg’ may be used after ‘void free(void*)’ [-Werror=use-after-free]

free max_size_arg on both paths.
