There is a risk for memory leak in when something unexpected happens
and the function returns.

This was largely found by using a static code analysis program called cppcheck.

I don't think there is a risk of memory leak, but wrong address access,
in this case.

I agree with this fix.

But I think this is unnecessary, as it has been managed allocated.

Hi

Okay, then I make a new patch with only the if() part of the code.


Best regards
