No big deal. I'll split this in two patches : one for the leak of 'local_test_path' with a clear comment instead of g_autofree and one for the remaining g_auto* conversions. > Why not just moving g_autofree from 'template' to the global variable > 'local_test_path' and avoid all that noise? > Because the 'cleanup' attribute cannot be set on a static variable as documented in GCC: cleanup (cleanup_function) The cleanup attribute runs a function when the variable goes out of scope. This attribute can only be applied to auto function scope variables; it may not be applied to parameters or variables with static storage duration. The function must take one parameter, a pointer to a type compatible with the variable. The return value of the function (if any) is ignored. and trying to do so produces: ../../tests/qtest/libqos/virtio-9p.c:32:1: error: ‘cleanup’ attribute ignored [-Werror=attributes] 32 | static g_autofree char *local_test_path; | ^~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors The leak of 'local_test_path' can only be addressed with a g_free() in its last user, i.e. virtio_9p_remove_local_test_dir(). > > g_assert(local_test_path != NULL); > > > > /* ensure test directory exists now ... */ > > @@ -60,12 +64,11 @@ void virtio_9p_create_local_test_dir(void) > > void virtio_9p_remove_local_test_dir(void) > > { > > g_assert(local_test_path != NULL); > > - char *cmd = g_strdup_printf("rm -fr '%s'\n", local_test_path); > > + g_autofree char *cmd = g_strdup_printf("rm -fr '%s'\n", > > local_test_path); int res = system(cmd); > > if (res < 0) { > > /* ignore error, dummy check to prevent compiler error */ > > } > > - g_free(cmd); > > } > > > > char *virtio_9p_test_path(const char *path) > > @@ -209,8 +212,8 @@ static void *virtio_9p_pci_create(void *pci_bus, > > QGuestAllocator *t_alloc, static void regex_replace(GString *haystack, > > const char *pattern, const char *replace_fmt, ...) > > { > > - GRegex *regex; > > - char *replace, *s; > > + g_autoptr(GRegex) regex = NULL; > > + g_autofree char *replace = NULL, *s = NULL; > > va_list argp; > > > > va_start(argp, replace_fmt); > > @@ -220,9 +223,6 @@ static void regex_replace(GString *haystack, const char > > *pattern, regex = g_regex_new(pattern, 0, 0, NULL); > > s = g_regex_replace(regex, haystack->str, -1, 0, replace, 0, NULL); > > g_string_assign(haystack, s); > > - g_free(s); > > - g_regex_unref(regex); > > - g_free(replace); > > } > > > > void virtio_9p_assign_local_driver(GString *cmd_line, const char *args) > >
