Question

我们在C中编写了一套代码，它将dir中的Matlab数据文件（.mat）作为输入，它还调用GSL函数来搜索多项式的根，并生成随机数。我们正在研究OSX。我们使用Valgrind来检查是否存在任何内存泄漏，因为我们在代码中使用了大量malloc和free。它确实帮助我们在很多地方找到了内存泄漏。但是，还有一个我们无法解决的问题。函数listfileswext中存在问题（它在名为.mat的子例程中列出具有给定扩展名的目录中的所有文件，即maxphaseutils.c：

char ** listfileswext (const char *ext, const char *dirName, size_t *nFiles, size_t *maxFileNameLen)
{
    /*printf("------- %s -------\n",ext);
    printf("Extension string length %zu\n",strlen(ext));*/
  char *pattern = (char *)malloc((3+strlen(ext))*sizeof(char));
  DIR *dp;
  struct dirent *ep;
  char **fileList;
  size_t lpc;

  pattern[0] = '*';
  pattern[1] = '.';
  pattern[2] = '\0';
  strcat(pattern,ext);

  /*printf("Pattern %s\n",pattern);*/
  /* Step 1: Count the number of files with the required 
     extension.
  */
  size_t countValidFiles = 0;
  dp = opendir(dirName);
  if (dp != NULL){
      while ((ep = readdir(dp))){
            /*printf("Checking file %s\n",ep->d_name);*/
            if(!fnmatch(pattern, ep->d_name, (FNM_FILE_NAME|FNM_PERIOD))){
                /* Match. Increment counter */
                /*printf("found match with pattern %s\n",pattern);*/
                countValidFiles++;
            }
      }
      (void) closedir (dp);
      /*
        Apparently, there is no need to free ep as it is declared to be 'static' in the readdir function
      */
  }
  else{
    printf ("Couldn't open the directory %s\n",dirName);
    free(pattern);
    return NULL;
  }
  *nFiles = countValidFiles;
  /* Step 2: Create storage for list of filenames */
  fileList = (char **)malloc(countValidFiles*sizeof(char *));
  /* Can't find a better way than to repeat the whole loop again */
  countValidFiles = 0;
  dp = opendir(dirName);
  if (dp != NULL){
      while ((ep = readdir(dp))){
            if(!fnmatch(pattern, ep->d_name, (FNM_FILE_NAME|FNM_PERIOD))){
                fileList[countValidFiles] = (char *)malloc(strlen(ep->d_name)*sizeof(char));
                strcpy(fileList[countValidFiles],ep->d_name);
                /* Match. Increment counter */
                countValidFiles++;
            }
      }
      (void) closedir (dp);
  }
  else{
    printf ("Couldn't open the directory %s\n",dirName);
    return NULL;
  }

    /*Find longest filename */
    size_t fileNameLen;
    *maxFileNameLen = 0;
    size_t lpc1;
    for (lpc1 = 0; lpc1 < *nFiles; lpc1++){
        fileNameLen = strlen(fileList[lpc1]);
        if ( fileNameLen > *maxFileNameLen)
            *maxFileNameLen = fileNameLen;
    }

  /* Wrap up */
  free(pattern);
  return fileList;
}

在此函数中，变量fileList被称为

char **inputFileList;
    size_t nInputFiles, maxFileNameLen;
    inputFileList = listfileswext("mat", simDataDir, &nInputFiles, &maxFileNameLen);

然后释放

for(lpc1 = 0; lpc1 < nInputFiles; lpc1++){
        /* Free up dynamically allocated memory for file list*/
        free(inputFileList[lpc1]);
    }
    /* Free up dynamically allocated memory */
free(inputFileList);

在main函数中如上所示。正如您所看到的那样，fileList在main中被释放为inputFileList而不是在已分配的函数（listfileswext）中释放。我们认为没关系。运行Valgrind后，会显示

请帮忙！提前谢谢！

根据this，泄漏不是由您的程序引起的，而是由系统库引起的。

对于错误，当为c-string分配空间时，你需要为尾随零空间，所以改变

 fileList[countValidFiles] = (char *)malloc(strlen(ep->d_name)*sizeof(char));

到

 fileList[countValidFiles] = (char *)malloc((strlen(ep->d_name) + 1)*sizeof(char));

Valgrind检查C中的内存泄漏
