Subject: [PATCH 13/16] packfile: ensure `close_pack_revindex()` frees in-memory revindex
Date: Sun, 29 Mar 2026 17:41:23 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e304e316ac4d4e92125e2e57b32fa445acf66e3e.1774820449.git.me@ttaylorr.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1774820449.git.me@ttaylorr.com>
The following commit will introduce a case where we write a MIDX bitmap
over packs that do not themselves have on-disk *.rev files.
This case is supported within Git, and we will simply fall back to
generating the revindex in memory. But we don't ever release that
memory, causing a leak that is exposed by a test introduced in the
following commit.
(As far as I could find, we never free()'d memory allocated as a
byproduct of creating an in-memory revindex, likely because that code
predates the leak-checking niceties we have in the test suite now.)
Rectify this by calling `FREE_AND_NULL()` on the `p->revindex` field
when calling `close_pack_revindex()`.
