Only the E_NOT operand and not the E_NOT node itself was freed, due to accidentally returning too early in expr_free(). Outline of leak: switch (e->type) { ... case E_NOT: expr_free(e->left.expr); return; ... } *Never reached, 'e' leaked* free(e); Fix by changing the 'return' to a 'break'. Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix: LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 44,448 bytes in 1,852 blocks ... Summary after the fix: LEAK SUMMARY: definitely lost: 1,608 bytes in 67 blocks ...
