These changes follow from the discussions on samba-technical. The
changes are in several parts, and stem from the inherent ambiguity
that was in talloc_free() and talloc_steal() when the pointer that is
being changes has more than one parent, via references.
The changes are:
1) when you call talloc_free() on a pointer with more than one parent
the free will fail, and talloc will log an error to stderr like this:
ERROR: talloc_free with references at some/foo.c:123
reference at other/bar.c:201
reference at other/foobar.c:641
2) Similarly, when you call talloc_steal() on a pointer with more
than one parent, the steal will fail and talloc will log an error to
stderr like this:
ERROR: talloc_steal with references at some/foo.c:123
reference at other/bar.c:201
3) A new function talloc_reparent() has been added to change a parent
in a controlled fashion. You need to supply both the old parent and
the new parent. It handles the case whether either the old parent was
a normal parent or a reference
The use of stderr in the logging is ugly (and potentially dangerous),
and will be removed in a future patch. We'll need to add a debug
registration function to talloc.
