New submission from Lucas Cimon <lucas.ci...@gmail.com>:
Hi. I think I have found a minor memory leak in Modules/main.c:pymain_parse_cmdline_impl. When the loop in the pymain_read_conf function in this same file calls pymain_init_cmdline_argv a 2nd time, the pymain->command buffer of wchar_t is overriden and the previously allocated memory is never freed. I haven't written any code test to reproduce this, but it can be tested easily with gdb: ``` gdb -- bin/python3 -c pass start b Modules/main.c:587 b pymain_clear_pymain c c ``` You'll see that PyMem_RawMalloc is called twice without pymain->command ever being freed in pymain_clear_pymain. I have a patch coming as PR on GitHub I'd be glad to have your feedback on this issue and my proposal for a fix.
