Hello Thomas and all,
sorry for bothering you if this is the wrong place. The following tiny program
leaks memory:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include sys/socket.h
#include arpa/inet.h
#include stdio.h
#include netlink-local.h
#include netlink/route/addr.h
static void
nl_addr_cb (struct nl_object *obj, void *userdata)
{
struct rtnl_addr *addr = (struct rtnl_addr *)obj;
char buf[100];
char buf2[100];
extern char *if_indextoname(unsigned ifindex, char *ifname);
printf (interface %s addr: %s\n,
if_indextoname(rtnl_addr_get_ifindex (addr), buf2),
inet_ntop(rtnl_addr_get_family (addr), rtnl_addr_get_local
(addr)-a_addr, buf, sizeof (buf)));
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
struct nl_handle *nlh;
struct nl_cache *addr_cache;
struct rtnl_addr *addr;
int err = 1;
extern unsigned if_nametoindex(const char *ifname);
nlh = nl_handle_alloc();
if (!nlh)
return -1;
addr = rtnl_addr_alloc();
if (!addr)
goto errout;
if (nl_connect(nlh, NETLINK_ROUTE) 0)
goto errout_free;
addr_cache = rtnl_addr_alloc_cache(nlh);
if (!addr_cache)
goto errout_close;
rtnl_addr_set_ifindex(addr, if_nametoindex(eth0));
nl_cache_foreach_filter(addr_cache, (struct nl_object *)addr, nl_addr_cb,
NULL);
err = 0;
nl_cache_free(addr_cache);
errout_close:
nl_close(nlh);
errout_free:
rtnl_addr_put(addr);
errout:
return err;
}
The valgrind output:
==29411== 528 (96 direct, 432 indirect) bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost
in loss record 6 of 8

I think the leak comes from addr_msg_parser. The newly created address object
gets added to the cache with nl_cache_add wich takes a reference, so the
reference in addr_msg_parser should be dropped, e.g. the following patch might
be correct:
--- ../../COMMON/libnl/lib/route/addr.c (revision 1380)
+++ ../../COMMON/libnl/lib/route/addr.c (working copy)
@@ -288,7 +288,7 @@
if (err 0)
goto errout_free;
- return P_ACCEPT;
+ // return P_ACCEPT;
