Hi Federico/Dragos,

Thank you both for your input. I have placed the call to (pkg_)free into a separate function and called it where necessary from each of the other functions.

I haven't had chance to test yet - if you have time, please apply the attached diff and let me know if the leak is fixed and I will commit to master. Otherwise, I will test myself over the weekend.

Thanks again,

Charles

Hi Charles,

In the function where Daniel just made the fix for the memory leak (int pv_get_mcd_value() ) , just before existing it with 0 , we added something like the following :

if (mcd_memory) {

pkg_free(return_value);

} else {

free(return_value);

}

It looks like it does not leak anymore, but please-double check if we are free-ing it in the right place.

Regards,
Dragos

I can take a look this evening. Assuming nobody has already started?

Best,

Hello,

there is (still) a memory leak in memcached module, discovered on a report by Dragos Oancea.

The pkg usage logs are like:

The one related to pkg_str_dup() should be fixed by the commit:

- http://git.sip-router.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi/sip-router/?a=commit;h=6faf12653c1db9f011b1826061824c831bda3f58

The other one is related to mcd_malloc(), which I guess it is due to the function that returns the value from memchache, memcached_get() used in pv_get_mcd_value_helper() -- the returned object has to be freed by calling code, according to:

- http://docs.libmemcached.org/memcached_get.html

Since the libmemcached was initialized with wrappers around pkg malloc/free, I expect the respective free function has to be used to free the result.

Can any of memcached devs check my commit and investigate further the second leak?

Cheers,
Daniel
