Can you believe that we ware testing the memory leak with valgrind
to just *bash scripts* instead of actual binaries on liberasurecode_test
and libec_slap?
That is why we cannot find such an easy memory leak[1] at the gate.
Now this patch enable to run the valgrind against to the binaries.
With this fix, we found various memory leak at liberasurecode_test as
follows and this patch also fixes them:
- If we create fake fragments, we're responsible for freeing all of the
frags as well as the array holding the pointers to the frags.
- If we allocate any space, we're responsible for freeing it.
- If we create an EC descriptor, we're responsible for destroying it.
- If we create a fragment or skip array, we're responsible for freeing it.
- If that happens inside a loop, we're responsible for doing it *inside
that same loop*.
In addition to the test fix, this patch fixes following memory leaks at
the code which is affected to other users (pyeclib, OpenStack Swift)
* Refuse to decode fragments that aren't even long enough to include
fragment headers.
* Fix a small memory leak in the builtin rs_vand implementation.
