As part of deciding the proper format of an archive, BFD looks at the format of the first file stored. That file's bfd was left open for reasons given in a comment removed in git commit 0e71e4955cd1 that said: /* We ought to close `first' here, but we can't, because we have no way to remove it from the archive cache. It's close to impossible to figure out when we can release bfd_ardata. FIXME. */ Well, things have changed since that comment was true and we now can remove files from the archive cache. Closing the first file is good and cures some of the leaks. Other leaks are caused by bfd_check_format_matches throwing away bfd tdata before trying a new match. That lost the element cache set up when format checking the first element in the archive. The easiest and cleanest fix is to simply disable the caching when checking the first element. PR 24891 * bfd.c (struct bfd): Add no_element_cache. * archive.c (_bfd_get_elt_at_filepos): Don't add element to archive cache when no_element_cache. (bfd_generic_archive_p): Set no_element_cache when opening first element to check format. Close first element too. (do_slurp_bsd_armap): Don't zero ardata->cache here. * bfd-in2.h: Regenerate. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
