1) I remember having already asked that, but it was probably just on irc, and anyway I forgot what the answer was (if there was one ;)). It's about commit a57b2f233 : http://projects.archlinux.org/git/?p=pacman.git;a=commitdiff;h=a57b2f233f28c... What was wrong / messy about these macros : -/* TODO we should do away with these... they're messy*/ -#define _FREELIST(p, f) do { alpm_list_free_inner(p, f); alpm_list_free(p); p = NULL; } while(0) -#define FREELIST(p) _FREELIST(p, free) -#define FREELISTPTR(p) do { alpm_list_free(p); p = NULL; } while(0) +#define FREELIST(p) do { alpm_list_free_inner(p, free); alpm_list_free(p); p = NULL; } while(0) Hm, actually while writing this mail, I realize this it not very problematic :P In the worst case, we just need two little additional calls. But I still don't find these very messy. 2) If I mentioning this, it's because I found a little memleak in _alpm_sync_free: a missing alpm_list_free call. So maybe the above _FREELIST(p, f) macro could have helped. Also, for some reasons, both _alpm_sync_free and _alpm_trans_free did the job of alpm_list_free_inner manually. So I changed that. 3) A little problem : all _alpm_*_free don't match the alpm_list_fn_free prototype except one : _alpm_graph_free . All others don't take a void * argument, so they need to be casted to alpm_list_fn_free for being used with alpm_list_free_inner . So should "static void _alpm_graph_free(void *data)" be changed to "static void _alpm_graph_free(pmgraph_t *graph)" ?

From fdf689932ca1fa919b95533a2469f797f22970f1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chantry Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 17:10:20 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Fix a memleak in _alpm_sync_free.

An alpm_list_free call was missing. Also make use of alpm_list_free_inner in both _alpm_sync_free and _alpm_trans_free.
