Subject: [PATCH v3 2/9] reset: free instead of leaking unneeded ref
Date: Sun, 21 Mar 2021 16:58:30 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <add6931b21383eb8fdf0f1f750a4dfc5d7688466.1616345918.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.899.v3.git.1616345918.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@google.com>

dwim_ref() allocs a new string into ref. Instead of setting to NULL to
discard it, we can FREE_AND_NULL.

This leak appears to have been introduced in:
4cf76f6bbf (builtin/reset: compute checkout metadata for reset, 2020-03-16)

This leak was found when running t0001 with LSAN, see also LSAN output below:

Direct leak of 5 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
