[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #53514] Memory leaks in 4.4 release

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #53514 (project octave):

I was able to run through the entire test suite.  I'm attaching the list of
"Direct leak"s.  It seems that a fair number are related to octave_putenv
which cannot be changed.  56 other instances are related to register_type as I
noted in the first submission.  And then there are a few odd leaks that appear
to be related to feval.  I don't know if there is a problem with feval, or
whether the code that was executed had a leak.

For the 56 instances of register_type, I think there should be a simple
solution.  This is code from ov-base.h


  void t::register_type (octave::type_info& ti)                 \
  {                                                             \
    octave_value v (new t ());                                  \
    t_id = ti.register_type (t::t_name, t::c_name, v);          \
  }


It looks to me like that call to new is not paired with a delete.
