Bug 173690 – [TestWebKitAPI] Fix misuse of -[NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:length:] with global variables

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[David Kilzer (:ddkilzer)]

Per documentation, -[NSData dataWithBytesNoCopy:length:] takes
ownership of malloc()-ed memory, then frees it when it's
released.  These tests were passing global variables into the
method, which is not malloc()-ed memory, which violations the
API contract.

The fix is to switch to using -[NSData dataWithBytes:length:] so
that the global C strings are copied into malloc()-ed memory.

Caught by the clang static analyzer.

Why not keep the existing code but add "freeWhenDone:NO" ?

Sure, could do that as well.  I saw the shorter method first!
