------------------------------------
Summary: Memory Leak in avroc on failed decoding
Key: AVRO-4246
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-4246
Project: Apache Avro
Issue Type: Bug
Components: c
Affects Versions: 1.12.1
Environment: On any installation of the avroc library that attempts to
decode an incorrectly encoded string.
Reporter: Fabio Carneiro
The _read_string_ and _read_bytes_ functions in the _binary_encoding.c_
translation unit does not free the allocated buffer if an error results from a
call to _read_value_ originating from the _AVRO_READ_ macro.
My plan to fix the is to introduce a new macro called _AVRO_READ_OR_FREE_ (name
up for change) that frees the buffer in case of error.
