[PATCH 03/12] ls-files: free max_prefix when done

From
Andrzej Hunt via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date
Apr 9, 2021, 18:47 UTC
Message-ID
<beccdb1778697a2a46b81c85fc91c477c040397c.1617994052.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<pull.929.git.1617994052.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@google.com>

common_prefix() returns a new string, which we store in max_prefix - this string needs to be freed to avoid a leak. This leak is happening in cmd_ls_files, hence is of no real consequence - an UNLEAK would be just as good, but we might as well free the string properly.

Leak found while running t0002, see output below:
Direct leak of 8 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
    #0 0x49a85d in malloc /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/llvm-11.0.0.src/build/../projects/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:145:3
