TServerSocket potential memory leak with addrinfo *res0
-------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: THRIFT-1522
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1522
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C# - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.8
         Environment: Unix, Windows
            Reporter: Peace C
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.9


I noticed a potential memory leak in TServerSocket.cpp. The res0 pointer 
receives an allocation from getaddrinfo() but is only freed part of the time in 
a conditional branch. It should be outside of the if-else to ensure it's 
deallocated every time.

I'm holding off on creating a patch in case I'm not understanding some hidden 
functionality in the socket library. Here is the code snippet:

  struct addrinfo *res0;
  ...
  getaddrinfo(NULL, port, &hints, &res0);
  ...
  if (! path_.empty())
  { ... }
  else
  {
    ...
    freeaddrinfo(res0); //Line 331 of TServerSocket.cpp
  }
