Subject: [PATCH] ctf-reader: Fix memory leak reported by valgrind
Date: Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:55:40 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211122185540.1973401-1-guillermo.e.martinez@oracle.com> (raw)

Hello,

Running unit test with check-valgrind, CTF reader test fails.

I'll appreciate your comments .. :-)

Thanks in advanced!
Guillermo

runtestreadctf fails executed by make check-valgrind, a memory leak is
reported:

  at 0x48397B5: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:381)
  by 0x56E6316: ctf_bufopen_internal (ctf-open.c:1388)
  by 0x56E5FD3: ctf_bufopen (ctf-open.c:1297)
  by 0x56CD688: ctf_arc_bufopen (ctf-archive.c:444)
  by 0x4EB31FD: abigail::ctf_reader::read_corpus(abigail::ctf_reader::read_context*,\
                 abigail::elf_reader::status&) (abg-ctf-reader.cc:1111)
  by 0x10C6BB: test_task_ctf::perform() (test-read-ctf.cc:236)
  by 0x4E8E9AF: abigail::workers::worker::wait_to_execute_a_task\
                  (abigail::workers::queue::priv*) (abg-workers.cc:400)
  by 0x543BEAD: start_thread (pthread_create.c:463)
  by 0x5369A5E: clone (clone.S:95)

This is happening because `ctf_variable_next' bumps the dictionary
reference counter, so when `ctf_close' is called it doesn't free the
memory allocated by the dict, because `ctf_refcnt' is greater than one.
Therefore `ctf_dict_close' is required.

	* src/abg-ctf-reader.cc (process_ctf_archive): Add
	ctf_dict_close
