Alright, after being plagued with mem-leaks for a while, I've got a question
for the group. I found a site at
http://www.mageslair.net/mage_snippets/buglisting.txt which details a few
mem-leaks from ROM. I'm wonder if anybody has had experience dealing with this
instance and in fact it does leak memory here.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, I've found some more stock ROM memory leaks... damn.
These are all in save.c.
In fread_char():
KEY( "Clan", ch->clan, clan_lookup(fread_string(fp)));
The problem with this is, fread_string() is going to str_dup() whatever
it reads in... and this never gets freed. To fix this, you have to
keep a pointer to the string you read in:
if ( !str_cmp( word, "Clan" ) )
{
char *tmp = fread_string(fp);
ch->clan = clan_lookup(tmp);
free_string(tmp);
fMatch = TRUE;
break;
}
