Subject: [PATCH v2 06/12] dir: free allocations on parse-error paths in `read_one_dir()`
Date: Sun, 05 Jul 2026 08:24:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8a8fe2d3e342b912de1013082ac838e8544d7031.1783239870.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2163.v2.git.1783239870.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

Two of `read_one_dir()`'s parse-error early returns leak ud.untracked
and ud.dirs. Plug them.

The other early returns in the same function are fine: they occur after
the `xmalloc()`+`memcpy()` that copies ud into `*untracked_`, at which
point ownership is transferred to the caller.
`read_untracked_extension()` then releases everything via
`free_untracked_cache()` on failure.

Pointed out by Coverity.
