Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: It looks like non-windows code has a similar problem:
static PyObject * posix_2str(PyObject *args, char *format, int (*func)(const char *, const char *)) { char *path1 = NULL, *path2 = NULL; int res; if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, format, Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, &path1, Py_FileSystemDefaultEncoding, &path2)) return NULL; If decoding of path2 fails, path1 is never freed. On the patch itself, arguably Py_XDECREF(o2) is not necessary, but leaving it in is probably good defensive programming (e.g. if more args are added in the future.) I am +1 on the patch as is. Please add a unit test that exercises the new code. Check that the leak is detected when the unit test is ran with gc.set_debug(gc.DEBUG_LEAK). ---------- nosy: +belopolsky __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2222> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
