Description Vineeth 2015-08-20 02:17:24 UTC
In all places where g_option_context_parse is being used, when it fails, the context and error variables are not getting freed, which will result in memory leaks.
Along with that replacing g_error_free with g_clear_error in these files, which is a better way to free error, as it checks if the variable is Non-NULL and then sets it to NULL on freeing.

    gstreamer: bad: Fix memory leaks when context parse fails
    
    When g_option_context_parse fails, context and error variables are not getting free'd
    which results in memory leaks. Free'ing the same.
    
    And replacing g_error_free with g_clear_error, which checks if the error being passed
    is not NULL and sets the variable to NULL on free'ing.
