[PATCH v2 28/29] builtin/blame: fix leaking prefixed paths

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Jun 11, 2024, 09:21 UTC
Message-ID
<c1291025fadceed5a92d9c8f1d611e26d9b15d2b.1718095906.git.ps@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1718095906.git.ps@pks.im>

In `cmd_blame()` we compute prefixed paths by calling `add_prefix()`, which itself calls `prefix_path()`. While `prefix_path()` returns an allocated string, `add_prefix()` pretends to return a constant string. Consequently, this path never gets freed.

Fix the return type to be `char *` and free the path to plug the memory leak.
