[alsa-devel] [PATCH] jack: Fixing a small memory leak

[Valentin Corfu]

A small memory leak can be observed when using alsa-plugins (jack).
Check the following valgrind log:
...
==1034== 8 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 7 of 108
==1034==    at 0x4027E5A: calloc (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-x86-linux.so)
==1034==    by 0x4035102: snd_pcm_jack_prepare (in /usr/lib/alsa-lib/libasound_module_pcm_jack.so)

==1034==    by 0x80486EB: main (in /root/pcm_min_ok)
...
==1034== LEAK SUMMARY:

==1034==    indirectly lost: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==1034==      possibly lost: 31,311 bytes in 1,630 blocks
==1034==    still reachable: 5,619 bytes in 24 blocks
==1034==         suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
