Re: [RFA] Remove a cleanup from parse_expression_for_completion

Here's the new version.  Re-tested on the buildbot & I looked more
carefully at the results this time; also I tried all the
completion-related tests locally as well.

commit 3de98da217150149d26dadee2c0ca9825463adda
Author: Tom Tromey <tom@tromey.com>

    Remove a cleanup from parse_expression_for_completion
    
    This removes a cleanup from parse_expression_for_completion, by
    changing various expression-completion functions to use
    gdb::unique_xmalloc_ptry rather than explicit malloc+free.
    
    Regression tested by the buildbot.
