This patch introduces the following function name convention: _compute_ in function name: the return value must be freed. _get_ in function name: the return value must not be freed.
Sounds good to me. The only question I have after reading this patch is whether there are many others alpm functions which need to have their return value freed.
Well, I gave a look in alpm.h (and alpm_list.h) on function headers containing "_get". Without further "investigation" (source reading), I think we had only 2 problematic (public) functions, which were renamed by the patch. Bye
