If it is initialized with STRBUF_INIT and never used, there is no reason for the variable to exist ;-) Leaving the variable in the code, and not calling release on it at the end, would be OK (i.e. there is no leak) today, but may invite future bugs (e.g. people may use the variable to tentatively build their string before the function returns to leave the scope of the variable without adding _release() themselves). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
