[PATCH] Enable error lifetime checking by default in maintainer mode

From: Malcolm Rowe <malcolm-svn-dev_at_farside.org.uk>
Date: 2007-01-07 15:58:25 CET

r22916 fixed two error leaks in the multiple-moves branch. I wouldn't
have noticed them at all except that I had noticed the SVN_DEBUG_ERROR
#define and decided to give it a go.

[For anyone who's not familiar with the macro: defining it causes a
tripwire function to be attached to the pool of every error we create.
If you handle the error and clear it with svn_error_clear(), nothing
happens, but if you forget (and leak the error), it fires at pool
cleanup time - when the process exits - and causes an abort().]

I'd like to enable this functionality by default (in maintainer mode) so
that these bugs are immediately obvious. Are there any objections to
committing the attached patch?

[[[
Enable error lifetime checking by default in maintainer mode, causing
processes to abort when terminating if any error objects have been
unhandled.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/error.c
  (err_abort, make_error_internal, svn_error_compose, svn_error_dup,
   svn_error_clear): Change code sections guarded by SVN_DEBUG_ERROR to
     use SVN_DEBUG instead.
]]]

Regards,
Malcolm
