The wrappers in avcodec/fft which were introduced in 6.1 may lead to invalid frees, segfaults and memory leaks. Consider the following example program:
#include <libavcodec/avfft.h> int main() { FFTContext* fft = av_fft_init(11, 0); av_fft_end(fft); FFTContext* mdct = av_mdct_init(11, 0, 1.0); av_mdct_end(mdct); mdct = av_mdct_init(11, 1, 1.0); av_mdct_end(mdct); RDFTContext* rdft = av_rdft_init(11, DFT_R2C); av_rdft_end(rdft); DCTContext* dct = av_dct_init(11, DCT_II); av_dct_end(dct); } When executed under valgrind, one obtains: ==2300086== Memcheck, a memory error detector ==2300086== Copyright (C) 2002-2022, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al. ==2300086== Using Valgrind-3.19.0 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info ==2300086== Command: ./a.out ==2300086== ==2300086== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==2300086== at 0x5FB6CBE: av_tx_uninit (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.58.29.100) ==2300086== by 0x490B3AA: av_fft_end (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.60.31.102) ==2300086== by 0x1090D7: main (test.c:5) ==2300086== Uninitialised value was created by a heap allocation ==2300086== at 0x4845990: memalign (in /usr/libexec/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==2300086== by 0x4845AED: posix_memalign (in /usr/libexec/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==2300086== by 0x5FFAC14: av_malloc (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.58.29.100) ==2300086== by 0x4A4B4A5: av_fft_init (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.60.31.102) ==2300086== by 0x1090CF: main (test.c:4) ==2300086== ==2300086== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s) ==2300086== at 0x4843131: free (in /usr/libexec/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==2300086== by 0x490B4A5: av_dct_end (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.60.31.102) ==2300086== by 0x10913A: main (test.c:17) ==2300086== Uninitialised value was created by a heap allocation ==2300086== at 0x4845990: memalign (in /usr/libexec/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==2300086== by 0x4845AED: posix_memalign (in /usr/libexec/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==2300086== by 0x5FFAC14: av_malloc (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.58.29.100) ==2300086== by 0x4A4B96F: av_dct_init (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavcodec.so.60.31.102) ==2300086== by 0x109132: main (test.c:16) ==2300086== ==2300086== ==2300086== HEAP SUMMARY: ==2300086== in use at exit: 66,528 bytes in 270 blocks ==2300086== total heap usage: 1,353 allocs, 1,083 frees, 386,566 bytes allocated ==2300086== ==2300086== 8,064 (640 direct, 7,424 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 247 of 249 ==2300086== at 0x4845990: memalign (in /usr/libexec/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==2300086== by 0x4845AED: posix_memalign (in /usr/libexec/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so) ==2300086== by 0x5FFAC14: av_malloc (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.58.29.100) ==2300086== by 0x5FFAF80: av_mallocz (in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libavutil.so.58.29.100) ==2300086== by 0x5FB732D: ???
