Subject: parameter module again
Date: Wed, 19 May 1999 17:34:31 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9905191534.AA42241@ibmth.df.unipi.it> (raw)
I was just looking at the parameter module for nefarious purposes of my
own, and I think there may be memory leaks in it. The zsh convention is
that the setting functions for parameters are passed permanently allocated
memory, so that (e.g.) options[foo]=on passes a newly allocated string "on"
which setpmoption() doesn't free. This happens consistently throughout the
module -- in fact, some of the set* routines specially ztrdup() the value
they're passed.
