Bug ID: 31159 Summary: Memory Leak in bucomm.c Product: binutils Version: 2.32 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: binutils Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org Reporter: shiyuyuranzh at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 15256 --> https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=15256&action=edit Memory Leak in bucomm.c Hi, I found a memory leak bug in the source code of binutils, and I have shown the execution sequence below. This bug exists in the file bucomm.c. The red text illustrates the steps that generate the bug. As shown in the diagram, The variable filename receives the return value from the function bfd_get_archive_filename, which allocates a block of memory for it. However, this allocated memory is not freed, resulting in a memory leak. Although reported bug trace is for version 2.32 but i've check this bug still existing in latest version. Can you help to check if this bug is true? Thanks for your effort. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
