From 25b6a95d03fe4fbb7acb8bbd0e1faad9a7f4ea9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?=C3=86var=20Arnfj=C3=B6r=C3=B0=20Bjarmason?= Date: Thu, 1 Sep 2022 01:14:21 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] submodule--helper: fix a memory leak in print_status() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Fix a leak in print_status(), the compute_rev_name() function implemented in this file will return a strbuf_detach()'d value, or NULL. This leak has existed since this code was added in a9f8a37584a (submodule: port submodule subcommand 'status' from shell to C, 2017-10-06), but in 0b5e2ea7cf3 (submodule--helper: don't print null in 'submodule status', 2018-04-18) we added a "const" intermediate variable for the return value, that "const" should be removed.
