From 1d3b680427a4a08d8e3df212eef74751fa56694e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2018 11:35:37 +0100 Subject: options: simplify mp_get_config_group() memory management There is some craziness here: the function allocates m_config_cache, which in turn allocates the actual option struct, which is what the function returns. The user would expect to be able to use talloc_free() to deallocate everything. Of course this didn't work, because the returned pointer is not the root parent in the talloc tree. But with some additional talloc craziness, this can be fixed. We rearrange the parent pointers such that freeing the option struct will free m_config_cache first, which uninits the contents in the option struct, but fortunately not the option struct itself. This change should simplify API use on the caller side, and reduce surprises. --- options/m_config.c | 6 ++++-- options/m_config.h | 2 -- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/options/m_config.c b/options/m_config.c index 606e836d20..7237972660 100644 --- a/options/m_config.c +++ b/options/m_config.c @@ -1437,8 +1437,10 @@ bool m_config_is_in_group(struct m_config *config, void *mp_get_config_group(void *ta_parent, struct mpv_global *global, const struct m_sub_options *group) { - assert(ta_parent); // without you'd necessarily leak memory - struct m_config_cache *cache = m_config_cache_alloc(ta_parent, global, group); + struct m_config_cache *cache = m_config_cache_alloc(NULL, global, group); + // Make talloc_free(cache->opts) free the entire cache. + ta_set_parent(cache->opts, ta_parent); + ta_set_parent(cache, cache->opts); return cache->opts; } diff --git a/options/m_config.h b/options/m_config.h index 80aeaef789..79f17b9bbe 100644 --- a/options/m_config.h +++ b/options/m_config.h @@ -325,8 +325,6 @@ bool m_config_cache_update(struct m_config_cache *cache); // Like m_config_cache_alloc(), but return the struct (m_config_cache->opts) // directly, with no way to update the config.
