Follow-up Comment #3, bug #47220 (project findutils): It would really be interesting to be able to reproduce. It seems that there's either a leak in xargs, or a bug in the detection whether there are leaks. With the given information so far, I think it's the latter, i.e., it reports false positive information.
Do you see any chance to reproduce? E.g. something similar to this: exec 99>x seq 10 | xargs echo Regarding the patch: indeed, the leak detection should not be active in the default binary. Actually, it if turns out to be a bug, then maybe we should remove the fdleak.c functionality at all from the xargs executable, and rather have improved tests. Have a nice day, Berny _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?47220> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
