在此 shell 模拟中，我的内存泄漏在哪里未被释放？

Question

我无法在使用 valgrind 工具的 shell 模拟 C 程序中找到未释放内存泄漏的位置。我还运行我的程序使用 gdb 调试器。 writableUsersArgs 包含“/usr/bin/vim”作为第一个元素，NULL 作为第二个元素。使用调试器，它显示数组 writableUsersArgs 被释放了两次。

包含内存泄漏的函数

int start(char* command){
        // pid uses status's value behind the scenes
        int status;
        int maxArgLength = 0;
        int argLength = 0;
        int index;

        // Split the user's command into seperate strings wherever the command has spaces
        char** usersArgs = commandDelimeter(command);
        int numberArgs = countArgs(command);
        // Calculate maxArgLength to allocate correct amount of memory
        for(index = 0; index < numberArgs; index++) {
                argLength = countLongestArg(usersArgs[index]);
                if(argLength > maxArgLength) {
                        maxArgLength = argLength;
                }
        }
        // Allocate memory for the array that gets passed to exec() function
        char* writableUsersArgs[numberArgs+1];
        for(index = 0; index < numberArgs + 1; index++) {
                writableUsersArgs[index] = (char*)malloc(maxArgLength*sizeof(char));
        }
        // Copy the strings from the read only array to a writable array of strings
        for(index = 0; index < numberArgs; index++) {
                strcpy(writableUsersArgs[index], usersArgs[index]);
        }
        // Last entry of array must be NULL for exec() function to work properly
        writableUsersArgs[index] = NULL;

        // Create a child process
        pid_t pid = fork();
        if(pid == -1) {
                printf("Error forking");
                return -1;
        } else if(pid == 0) {
                // Jumps into new child process
                execv(writableUsersArgs[0], writableUsersArgs);
                return 2;
        } else {
                // Waits for child process to terminate before proceeding
                wait(&status);
                for(index = 0; index < numberArgs + 1; index++) {
                        free(usersArgs[index]);
                        free(writableUsersArgs[index]);
                }
                free(usersArgs);
                return 1;
        }
}

Answer 1

在start中，您使用malloc分配内存并将其分配给一个指针，然后您使用NULL覆盖指针的内容。您现在已经忘记了 malloced 的记忆。

所以，在这个循环中：

for(index = 0; index < numberArgs + 1; index++) {
    writableUsersArgs[index] = (char*)malloc(maxArgLength*sizeof(char));
}

writableUsersArgs 的每个成员都分配了一个指向由 malloc 保留的唯一内存块的指针，包括数组成员 writableUsersArgs[numberArgs]。

几行之后，你写

writableUsersArgs[index] = NULL;

她的index和numberArgs一样值。您现在已经丢失了对 writableUsersArgs[index] 之前指向的 malloced 块的所有引用。

您可能想要运行循环 while index < numberArgs.

这仅说明了 start 中丢失的区块。除非您显示该代码，否则我不能对 commandDelimeter 或 createArgsArray 中丢失的块说任何话。但我怀疑这是同样的问题。

最后的注释：我认为在调用 fork/exec

之前不需要复制 creareArgsArray 返回的字符串

在此 shell 模拟中，我的内存泄漏在哪里未被释放？
