Description serval2412 2010-10-24 12:29:17 UTC 
Hi,

I downloaded libreoffice sources and launched cppcheck  1.45 (the last version).
It has reported a memory leak and i checked if it was a false positive.
In the function xmlMallocLoc, there's a malloc for the local variable "p" but no free which causes memory leaks.
I checked on the version included in libreoffice sources (libxml2-2.7.6) and in the git dev version libxml2-2.7.7.

Perhaps i missed something since i'm not expert in C/C++ ?

Julien.

It seems the same pb in this file with the functions :
xmlMallocAtomicLoc and xmlMemStrdupLoc

Sorry i was searching in the code without really looking at the names of these functions.

You can obviously close this tracker. Need sleeping i think :-)
