释放 cJSON 对象时发生 cJSON 内存泄漏

Question

我在使用 cJSON 库时遇到问题。我假设内存泄漏在一定时间后（40 分钟到 1 小时）破坏了代码。

我已经复制了下面的代码：

void my_work_handler_5(struct k_work *work)
{

     char *ptr1[6];
     int y=0;
     static int counterdo = 0;
     char *desc6 = "RSRP";
     char *id6 = "dBm";
     char *type6 = "RSRP";
     char rsrp_str[100];
     snprintf(rsrp_str, sizeof(rsrp_str), "%d", rsrp_current);

     sensor5 = cJSON_CreateObject();

    cJSON_AddItemToObject(sensor5, "description", cJSON_CreateString(desc6));
    cJSON_AddItemToObject(sensor5, "Time", cJSON_CreateString(time_string));
    cJSON_AddItemToObject(sensor5, "value", cJSON_CreateNumber(rsrp_current));
    cJSON_AddItemToObject(sensor5, "unit", cJSON_CreateString(id6));
    cJSON_AddItemToObject(sensor5, "type", cJSON_CreateString(type6));

       /* print everything */
        ptr1[counterdo] = cJSON_Print(sensor5);

        printk("Counterdo value is : %d\n", counterdo);
         
        cJSON_Delete(sensor5);
        
         counterdo = counterdo + 1;
        
        if (counterdo==6){
        for(y=0;y<=counterdo;y++){
         free(ptr1[y]);
         }
         counterdo = 0;
         }

        return;
}

我阅读了一些关于释放内存的其他帖子并尝试这样做。谁能告诉我这是否是释放分配给 cJSON 对象的 space 的正确方法。

此致，阿黛尔.

由于 cJSON 是一个没有依赖项的可移植库，因此最好在 PC 上查找代码中的潜在问题：它们是此环境中可用的专门工具，可用于促进调查。我在这里假设您有一个 Linux 系统，一个安装了 WSL 或 WSL2 的 Windows 系统，或者一个可用的 Linux 虚拟机，并且安装了 gcc、valgrind。

您的代码的最小、独立、可移植版本可以是：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <cJSON.h>

static int rsrp_current = 1;
static char *time_string = NULL;

void
my_work_handler_5 ()
{
  char *ptr1[6];
  int y = 0;
  static int counterdo = 0;
  char *desc6 = "RSRP";
  char *id6 = "dBm";
  char *type6 = "RSRP";
  char rsrp_str[100];
  snprintf (rsrp_str, sizeof (rsrp_str), "%d", rsrp_current);

  cJSON *sensor5 = cJSON_CreateObject ();

  cJSON_AddItemToObject (sensor5, "description", cJSON_CreateString (desc6));
  cJSON_AddItemToObject (sensor5, "Time", cJSON_CreateString (time_string));
  cJSON_AddItemToObject (sensor5, "value", cJSON_CreateNumber (rsrp_current));
  cJSON_AddItemToObject (sensor5, "unit", cJSON_CreateString (id6));
  cJSON_AddItemToObject (sensor5, "type", cJSON_CreateString (type6));

  /* print everything */
  ptr1[counterdo] = cJSON_Print (sensor5);

  printf ("Counterdo value is : %d\n", counterdo);

  cJSON_Delete (sensor5);

  counterdo = counterdo + 1;

  if (counterdo == 6)
    {
      for (y = 0; y <= counterdo; y++)
    {
      free (ptr1[y]);
    }
      counterdo = 0;
    }

  return;
}

int
main (int argc, char **argv)
{
  time_t curtime;

  time (&curtime);

  for (int n = 0; n < 3 * 6; n++)
    {
      my_work_handler_5 ();
    }
}

构建过程：

wget https://github.com/DaveGamble/cJSON/archive/v1.7.14.tar.gz
tar zxf v1.7.14.tar.gz
gcc -g -O0 -IcJSON-1.7.14 -o cjson cjson.c cJSON-1.7.14/cJSON.c

运行程序上的valgrind:

valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --track-origins=yes --verbose   ./cjson

..表示正在释放一些以前未分配的内存：Invalid free() / delete / delete[] / realloc():

正在替换：

  for (y = 0; y <= counterdo; y++)
{
  free (ptr1[y]);
}

作者：

  for (y = 0; y < counterdo; y++)
{
  free (ptr1[y]);
}

并再次执行 valgrind：

一些内存确实被泄露了。

原因是 char *ptr1[6] 不是静态的，因此每次调用 my_work_handler_5() 时都会在堆栈上创建。 cJSON_Print() 返回的指针因此在两次调用之间丢失，并且 free() 被任意指针值调用，因为 ptr1[] 未初始化，因为它可能是：

char *ptr1[6] = { NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL };

由于您每调用 6 次就会释放内存，这会导致您怀疑的内存泄漏。

正在替换：

char *ptr1[6];

作者：

static char *ptr1[6];

编译，运行 valgrind 再次：

==6927== 
==6927== HEAP SUMMARY:
==6927==     in use at exit: 0 bytes in 0 blocks
==6927==   total heap usage: 271 allocs, 271 frees, 14,614 bytes allocated

==6927== All heap blocks were freed -- no leaks are possible
==6927== 
==6927== ERROR SUMMARY: 0 errors from 0 contexts (suppressed: 0 from 0)

该程序的修改版本现在应该可以在您的裸机系统上运行。
