[PATCH v4 1/3] merge-ort: fix massive leak

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When a series of merges was performed (such as for a rebase or series of
cherry-picks), only the data structures allocated by the final merge
operation were being freed.  The problem was that while picking out
pieces of merge-ort to upstream, I previously misread a certain section
of merge_start() and assumed it was associated with a later
optimization.  Include that section now, which ensures that if there was
a previous merge operation, that we clear out result->priv and then
re-use it for opt->priv, and otherwise we allocate opt->priv.
