The program in its current state leaks memory from the
formatStatContent
function during its execution.Instrumenting the binary with Valgrind's
memcheck
tool exposes the oversight:Running the program compiled using
gcc
with-fsanitize=address -fsanitize=leak -fsanitize=undefined
also would have shown the presence of leaked memory.The origins of the leaks are calls to
regcomp
andstrdup
without being followed by their appropriate deallocating calls (regfree
andfree
, respectively).The commit c11d771 fixes this by:
free
outside of theif
statement's block, as it should be unconditionalregfree
call before returningWith these patches applied, the program runs like this:
