Re: [libxml-devel] patch for memory leak

[Charlie Savage]

Hi Tom,

I found a memory leak when the value of an attribute is accessed. Fix is simple, in function ruby_xml_attr_value in ruby_xml_attr.c, need to call xmlFree:

356,357c356,360

<     if (value != NULL)

<       return(rb_str_new2((const char*)value));

---

    if (value != NULL) {

      VALUE retVal = rb_str_new2((const char*)value);

      xmlFree(value);

      return(retVal);

Charlie

Thanks for the patch. I've applied it, and found about 6 other places similar issues were happening.
