In this case it would result in too much churn to remove the UNLEAK() before we have this solving some of the more meaningful leaks, and if we do this later we don't have all codepaths that can use release_revisions() using it as we free things one at a time. > Best Wishes > > Phillip > >> Signed-off-by: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@xxxxxxxxx> >> --- >> builtin/diff-index.c | 4 +++- >> builtin/diff.c | 1 + >> 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> diff --git a/builtin/diff-index.c b/builtin/diff-index.c >> index 5fd23ab5b6c..3a83183c312 100644 >> --- a/builtin/diff-index.c >> +++ b/builtin/diff-index.c >> @@ -71,5 +71,7 @@ int cmd_diff_index(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) >> } >> result = run_diff_index(&rev, option); >> UNLEAK(rev); >> - return diff_result_code(&rev.diffopt, result); >> + result = diff_result_code(&rev.diffopt, result); >> + release_revisions(&rev); >> + return result; >> } >> diff --git a/builtin/diff.c b/builtin/diff.c >> index bb7fafca618..dd48336da56 100644 >> --- a/builtin/diff.c >> +++ b/builtin/diff.c >> @@ -595,6 +595,7 @@ int cmd_diff(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) >> if (1 < rev.diffopt.skip_stat_unmatch) >> refresh_index_quietly(); >> UNLEAK(rev); >> + release_revisions(&rev); >> UNLEAK(ent); >> UNLEAK(blob); >> return result;
