It is explained in the second post on the bug tracker: Comment(by amai): Well, I am just looking at lib/opendir.c - and I have no idea about the correlation of involved macros ''HAVE_OPENDIR'' and ''REPLACE_FCHDIR'' ... So ''ifndef HAVE_OPENDIR'' and ''#ifdef REPLACE_FCHDIR'' cppcheck is right, ''dirp'' is allocated by ''malloc()'' and passed to ''closedir()''.
