Fix crash with process_read_proc_file and uninitialised var - #3
Merged
Conversation
When `process_read_proc_file` returns NULL there was a problem later on with uninitialized memory. Rebuilt the Process struct to reduce extra heap allocs and make sure there is always a string to copy to.

Confirmed, this fix worked for me! |

When
process_read_proc_filereturns NULL there was a problem later on with uninitialized memory, resulting in a crash. Easily reproducible on bazzite 43 by just opening the process list dialog and trying to exit it by pressing either cancel or ok. Reproducible with and without sudo.Rebuilt the Process struct to reduce extra heap allocs and make sure there is always a string to copy to.
Also resized other string arrays to powers of 2 for better memory locality (which probably doesn't matter).
