[dpdk-dev] [dpdk-stable] [PATCH v2 1/4] raw/skeleton: fix failing test case

[Thomas Monjalon]

> Rawdev unit test for setting and getting parameters is failing because
> of a pointer value being dereferenced after the memory it pointed to is
> freed.
> 
> The freeing of the malloced memory is difficult when using asserts to
> cause early abort of the test cases, since that can leak memory. The
> original placement of the free call caused a memory leak if the test
> finished early, while a fix for that leak caused the test to fail at
> times due to the memory variable being referenced after free. For a case
> like this, using stack rather than heap memory is just easier and avoids
> all issues.
