Hi Yong,

all 4 patches pushed:
   f7e1dcc..a1ab2c0  master -> master

But I did some edits, please check the patches in master:

This was good.

>   wl_array: Set data to invalid address after free

I removed the doc about crashing. I felf a bit weird to try to
guarantee a crash in documentation, and it's not like it was supposed
to work before. It's also not a new behaviour one would ever like to
rely on.

I added a new variable to assign the return value from wl_array_add()
instead of array.data. The function itself is supposed to update
array.data and we don't want to overwrite it. (It's also kind of
illegal to overwrite it.)

I added this hunk anyway:
+       /* fill with garbage to emulate uninitialized memory */
+       memset(&array, 0x57, sizeof array);

I hope it's all fine, but if not, let me know.


Thanks,
pq
