Description Andrew 2007-06-29 16:41:20 UTC

Description of problem:
Memory leak in librpm occurs after rpmReadConfigFiles(NULL, NULL) call.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
$ rpm -q rpm
rpm-4.4.2-39

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. just call rpmReadConfigFiles(NULL, NULL); in your program
2. compile it with debug info
3. run valgrind --leak-check=full ./your_program
  
Actual results:
==27880== 49 bytes in 2 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 9 of 34

==27880==      possibly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
==27880==    still reachable: 70299 bytes in 2945 blocks.
==27880==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.

Expected results:
There should be no memory leak.

Yup, fixed in rpm.org tree (was already fixed in rpm5.org), will be in 4.4.2.1.

Comment 3 Panu Matilainen 2007-07-04 13:23:13 UTC

Will be fixed in next rawhide push.
