In commit e5cfb9cac1d7aba9a8ea73bfe7922cfaff9d61f3 I introduced tests
for strdup and strndup with leaks.  Fix those leaks.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

    * gcc.dg/builtin-dynamic-object-size-0.c (test_strdup,
    test_strndup, test_strdup_min, test_strndup_min): Free RES
    before returning from function.
We don't generally worry about these kinds of issues in the testsuite. My only worry would be compromising the test.  By adding the free calls the compiler might match up the allocation and release and potentially turn it into an alloca.  I don't think we're likely to do that in this case, but it's worth keeping in mind.

Ack, thanks, I'll keep that in mind.

So OK as long as you've verified the test still does what it's supposed to do.

I have verified that the test still works correctly and the optimizer hasn't done anything funny with the calls, i.e. the str*dup calls and free calls are as is.

Thanks,
Sid
