ID: 65562 Updated by: yohg...@php.net Reported by: rrh at newrelic dot com Summary: memory leak in zend_parse_arg Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Performance problem Operating System: all PHP Version: 5.5.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: If you are certain, please provide short and complete module code that leaks memory. (i.e. full module code that compiles as module) It should be by using ext_skel shell script. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-26 21:21:52] rrh at newrelic dot com I didn't provide code to show the issue because the issue is almost certainly independent of my module extension, and a quick inspection of the code looking at the control flow paths would show that efree isn't called on all paths leading to a return from the function. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-26 20:53:04] johan...@php.net Please provide compilable code showing the issue. In general: We don't consider issues which can't be triggered by userspace code as bug but expect extension authors to provide patches to improve PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-26 20:23:12] rrh at newrelic dot com Description: ------------ Function zend_parse_arg leaks memory, as discovered when I ran valgrind with php test cases designed to exercise a module we wrote. zend_parse_arg calls zend_parse_arg_impl. Unfortunately, not all control flow paths to the return in zend_parse_arg call efree to free up the memory allocated by zend_parse_arg_impl to hold the error string. In my case, quiet != 0, so the lone efree (which has 2 additional guards) is not called. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65562&edit=1
