Subject: [PATCH v2 16/18] t/helper/test-read-midx.c: plug memory leak when selecting layer
Date: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 14:55:07 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <dbbcb49456385265eceb6dd77e054df1e26677c8.1768420450.git.me@ttaylorr.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1768420450.git.me@ttaylorr.com>
Though our 'read-midx' test tool is capable of printing information
about a single MIDX layer identified by its checksum, no caller in our
test suite exercises this path.
Unfortunately, there is a memory leak lurking in this (currently) unused
path that would otherwise be exposed by the following commit.
This occurs when providing a MIDX layer checksum other than the tip. As
we walk over the MIDX chain trying to find the matching layer, we drop
our reference to the top-most MIDX layer. Thus, our call to
'close_midx()' later on leaks memory between the top-most MIDX layer and
the MIDX layer immediately following the specified one.
Plug this leak by holding a reference to the tip of the MIDX chain, and
ensure that we call `close_midx()` before terminating the test tool.
