Dear developers,
I detected (with the help of valgrind) a memory leak in dwarf2.c of
binutils 2.32:
In function_bfd_dwarf2_slurp_debug_info(), line 4367 the following call
is made for the scoped variable debug_filename:
debug_filename = bfd_follow_build_id_debuglink (abfd, DEBUGDIR);
The returned value is allocated, but this memory is not freed in that
scope in all cases. I can fix the leak if I add at the end of the scope
after the lines (4393):
symbols = bfd_get_outsymbols (debug_bfd);
stash->syms = symbols;
stash->close_on_cleanup = TRUE;
a call to:
free (debug_filename);
Hopefully you will be able to add this fix in the next release of binutils.
Sincerly,
Torsten Rupp
