[PATCH 2/3] xdiff: refactor a function

From
PGPhillip Wood via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<8655bb0348d7344ae85c8d521fb1ec7a5f4188d2.1644404356.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.1140.git.1644404356.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Phillip Wood <phillip.wood@dunelm.org.uk>

Rather than having to remember exactly what to free after an allocation failure use the standard "goto out" pattern. This will simplify the next commit that starts handling currently unhandled failures.
