Subject: Don't segfault if stats files can't be created
X-Git-Url: https://git.llucax.com/software/dgc/cdgc.git/commitdiff_plain/9457e6cc1d1c824901af4fa8baca99f9b753b9cd?hp=c216b75a02d7b09c6949be6ec102b5557a060c08

Don't segfault if stats files can't be created

If any stats files (used by collect_stats_file and malloc_stats_file)
can't be created, the program segfauls trying to use a null FILE*.

It's extremely impolite to cause an strange segfault because of this, and
since there is no sensible error reporting mechanism either, we just
ignore those options if the selected files are not writable, as we do
with unknown options or any other wrong option parameters.
