[PATCH v3 5/6] config.c: free(expanded) before die(), work around GCC oddity

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

 



On my GCC version (10.2.1-6), but not the clang I have available t0017
will fail under SANITIZE=leak on optimization levels higher than -O0,
which is annoying when combined with the change in 956d2e4639b (tests:
add a test mode for SANITIZE=leak, run it in CI, 2021-09-23).

We really do have a memory leak here in either case, as e.g. running
the pre-image under valgrind(1) will reveal. It's documented
SANITIZE=leak (and "address", which exhibits the same behavior) might
interact with compiler optimization in this way in some cases. Since
this function is called recursively it's going to be especially
interesting as an optimization target.

Let's work around this issue by freeing the "expanded" memory before
we call die(), using a combination of the "goto cleanup" pattern
introduced in a preceding commit, and the newly introduced
die_message() function.
