[jira] [Commented] (PROTON-2199) memory leak in c++ object inspect

["Jiri Daněk (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-2199?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17096408#comment-17096408 ] 

Jiri Daněk commented on PROTON-2199:
------------------------------------

I'll look into fixing this. Anyways, inspect() is not used in the Proton codebase itself. There is {{struct inspectable}} which defines operator {{<<}} (correctly, without leak) and all calls to pn_inspect in C++ binding happen through that. Could be the reason this was not caught. Also, {{pn_string}} is on LSan suppression list as known source of leaks to be yet investigated (in Python test suite, it does not leak in C/C++ tests). https://github.com/apache/qpid-proton/blob/c2384ecdc7b7490fa2ed95fc121d8188122661e3/tests/lsan.supp#L43

> The {{pn_ptr_base::inspect()}} function in {{cpp/src/object.cpp}} calls {{pn_string(NULL)}} on line 36 and never frees the allocated memory with {{pn_free()}}.
> The fix is to create the std::string as a temporary variable, then free the pn_string_t, then return the temporary std::string, like this:
> {{std::string tmp(pn_string_get(s));}}
> {{pn_free(s);}}
> {{return tmp;}}
