[ Upstream commit ae7440ef0c8013d68c00dad6900e7cce5311bb1c ]
expr_trans_compare() always allocates and returns a new expression,
giving the following leak outline:
...
*Allocate*
basedep = expr_trans_compare(basedep, E_UNEQUAL, &symbol_no);
...
for (menu = parent->next; menu; menu = menu->next) {
...
*Copy*
dep2 = expr_copy(basedep);
...
*Free copy*
expr_free(dep2);
}
*basedep lost!*
Fix by freeing 'basedep' after the loop.
Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix:
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 344,376 bytes in 14,349 blocks
...
Summary after the fix:
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 44,448 bytes in 1,852 blocks
...
