Subject: 23.3.50; y-or-n-p-with-timeout with GUI leaks memory
Date: Sat, 22 Oct 2011 13:35:27 +0900
Currently, xdialog_show in xmenu.c calls
free_menubar_widget_value_tree after calling create_and_show_dialog:

  /* Actually create and show the dialog.  */
  create_and_show_dialog (f, first_wv);

  /* Free the widget_value objects we used to specify the contents.  */
  free_menubar_widget_value_tree (first_wv);

But create_and_show_dialog may longjmp in the following case:

  (let (last-nonmenu-event)
    (y-or-n-p-with-timeout "test" 3 'default))
  ;; wait 3 seconds.

In this case, free_menubar_widget_value_tree is not called and the
memory allocated for `first_wv' is leaked.

The patch below uses record_unwind_protect as usual for avoiding this
memory leak.  I think xmenu_show has the same problem.  I'm not sure
about the W32 case.

Done.

> like this?

Yes.  For example,

  (with-timeout (3 'default)
    (x-popup-menu t '("Title" ("foo" "nonselectable"))))

Actually, y-or-n-p-with-timeout is implemented using with-timeout.
