Issue ID: 9292
Summary: Man page for LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT/LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT
unclear on use of free
Product: OpenLDAP
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: ---
Component: documentation
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Ref:
https://git.openldap.org/openldap/openldap/-/blob/master/doc/man/man3/ldap_get_option.3
https://www.openldap.org/software/man.cgi?query=ldap_get_option&sektion=3&apropos=0&manpath=OpenLDAP+2.4-Release
See details of LDAP_OPT_TIMEOUT and LDAP_OPT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT.
Both state
"the caller has to free *outvalue"
This can be interpreted as the called must call free on outvalue.
This can cause a random crash when 'free' used (build on Linux ran ok, Windows
crashed immediately)
Would be better is it stated that the caller must use 'ldap_memfree', in the
same way as other options state use must use 'ldap_memfree'.
FYI: within the code, get_option for these params calls ldap_int_timeval_dup
which calls LDAP_MALLOC
