[iobuf] Add iob_disown() and use it where it simplifies code
There are many functions that take ownership of the I/O buffer they
are passed as a parameter. The caller should not retain a pointer to
the I/O buffer. Use iob_disown() to automatically nullify the
caller's pointer, e.g.:
xfer_deliver_iob ( xfer, iob_disown ( iobuf ) );
This will ensure that iobuf is set to NULL for any code after the call
to xfer_deliver_iob().
iob_disown() is currently used only in places where it simplifies the
code, by avoiding an extra line explicitly setting the I/O buffer
pointer to NULL. It should ideally be used with each call to any
function that takes ownership of an I/O buffer. (The SSA
optimisations will ensure that use of iob_disown() gets optimised away
in cases where the caller makes no further use of the I/O buffer
pointer anyway.)
If gcc ever introduces an __attribute__((free)), indicating that use
of a function argument after a function call should generate a
warning, then we should use this to identify all applicable function
call sites, and add iob_disown() as necessary.
