Audio packets with size zero, but with side-data currently lead to memleaks, in the Matroska muxer, because they are not properly freed:
They are currently put into an AVPacket in the MatroskaMuxContext to ensure that the necessary audio is always available for a new cluster, but are only written and freed when their size is > 0. As the only use we have for such packets consists in updating the CodecPrivate it makes no sense to store these packets at all and this is how this commit solves the memleak. Fixes track ticket #7827. Signed-off-by: Andreas Rheinhardt <andreas.rheinha...@googlemail.com> --- Could some kind soul please run Valgrind to check that it really fixes the memleak from #7827? (I have thought about whether all zero-sized packets (not necessarily audio packets only) should be discarded at this point, but if I am not mistaken, then WebVTT subtitles can be side-data-only.) libavformat/matroskaenc.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/libavformat/matroskaenc.c b/libavformat/matroskaenc.c index b9f99c4463..06f3aeb46d 100644 --- a/libavformat/matroskaenc.c +++ b/libavformat/matroskaenc.c @@ -2534,7 +2534,8 @@ static int mkv_write_packet(AVFormatContext *s, AVPacket *pkt) // buffer an audio packet to ensure the packet containing the video // keyframe's timecode is contained in the same cluster for WebM if (codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO) { - ret = av_packet_ref(&mkv->cur_audio_pkt, pkt); + if (pkt->size > 0) + ret = av_packet_ref(&mkv->cur_audio_pkt, pkt); } else ret = mkv_write_packet_internal(s, pkt, 0); return ret; -- 2.19.2 _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
