Hi all,

please take a look at this small fix for two leaks
in perfMemory_windows.cpp.

bug report: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8150379

webrev:

Fixes look good, but there seems to be additional leakage here:

1437   // get the name of the user associated with this process
1438   char* user = get_user_name();
1439
1440   if (user == NULL) {
1441     return NULL;
1442   }
1443
1444   // construct the name of the user specific temporary directory
1445   char* dirname = get_user_tmp_dir(user);
1446
1447   // check that the file system is secure - i.e. it supports ACLs.
1448   if (!is_filesystem_secure(dirname)) {
1449     return NULL;
1450   }

We need to free user and dirname before returning. These allocation
methods are crying out for some RIIA assistance. :(


I fixed this place too and took a look at other functions returning C heap
array but did not find anything more. I also played around with an RAII
object, but the change got big quickly, so I decided to keep the change
small. I agree this is a mess. If we wanted to clean up this coding, I
would do this as a separate issue. Also, instead of doing a RAII wrapper,
could we not just move some allocations to resource area?

Thanks,
David
