使用Linux pthreads 和 libpcap 时，我注意到使用pcap_breakloop时出现了一些奇怪的行为。 我的目标如下：
打开一个将运行pcap_loop并处理捕获的数据包的新线程，而主线程将执行其他操作。当收到a信号（SIGINT）或退出时，将设置一个全局变量，主线程将发出pcap_breakloop以结束第二个线程，然后自行完成。
这个想法可能仍然需要一些工作，但我注意到的奇怪行为是：
当我们创建bpf_program结构并使用pcap_compile进行编译时，为了进一步将其用作捕获的过滤器，一旦我们使用pcap_breakloop退出循环，就会出现内存泄漏8个字节（调用pcap_freecode和pcap_close）。这是真的即使不使用线程（在修改后的sniffex.c libpcap 示例中可以看似）。 相同的代码，没有过滤器（没有pcap_compile调用或bpf_program）退出而没有内存泄漏。
这个内存是否会从 libpcap 中泄漏出来，就像我在其他库（例如gtk）上看到的一些内存泄漏一样？这是图书馆稍后会处理的吗？或者我的代码中有什么问题我无法看到？
下面是代码示例：使用 pthreads 和修改后的 sniffex 示例与pcap_breakloop的代码示例（我还包含了diff原始 sniffex 和修改过的，因为代码非常大，但差别很小）：

}
void capture_loop(unsigned char *args, const struct pcap_pkthdr *header, const unsigned char *packet){

****************************************************************************
*
* Below is an excerpt from an email from Guy Harris on the tcpdump-workers
* mail list when someone asked, "How do I get the length of the TCP
* payload?" Guy Harris' slightly snipped response (edited by him to
* speak of the IPv4 header length and TCP data offset without referring
* to bitfield structure members) is reproduced below:
*
* The Ethernet size is always 14 bytes.
*
* <snip>...</snip>
*
* In fact, you *MUST* assume the Ethernet header is 14 bytes, *and*, if
* you're using structures, you must use structures where the members
* always have the same size on all platforms, because the sizes of the
* fields in Ethernet - and IP, and TCP, and... - headers are defined by
* the protocol specification, not by the way a particular platform's C
* compiler works.)
*
* The IP header size, in bytes, is the value of the IP header length,
* as extracted from the "ip_vhl" field of "struct sniff_ip" with
* the "IP_HL()" macro, times 4 ("times 4" because it's in units of
* 4-byte words). If that value is less than 20 - i.e., if the value
* extracted with "IP_HL()" is less than 5 - you have a malformed
* IP datagram.
*
* The TCP header size, in bytes, is the value of the TCP data offset,
* as extracted from the "th_offx2" field of "struct sniff_tcp" with
* the "TH_OFF()" macro, times 4 (for the same reason - 4-byte words).
* If that value is less than 20 - i.e., if the value extracted with
* "TH_OFF()" is less than 5 - you have a malformed TCP segment.
*
* So, to find the IP header in an Ethernet packet, look 14 bytes after
* the beginning of the packet data. To find the TCP header, look
* "IP_HL(ip)*4" bytes after the beginning of the IP header. To find the
* TCP payload, look "TH_OFF(tcp)*4" bytes after the beginning of the TCP
* header.
*
* To find out how much payload there is:
*
* Take the IP *total* length field - "ip_len" in "struct sniff_ip"
* - and, first, check whether it's less than "IP_HL(ip)*4" (after
* you've checked whether "IP_HL(ip)" is >= 5). If it is, you have
* a malformed IP datagram.
*
* Otherwise, subtract "IP_HL(ip)*4" from it; that gives you the length
* of the TCP segment, including the TCP header. If that's less than
* "TH_OFF(tcp)*4" (after you've checked whether "TH_OFF(tcp)" is >= 5),
* you have a malformed TCP segment.
*
* Otherwise, subtract "TH_OFF(tcp)*4" from it; that gives you the
* length of the TCP payload.
*
* Note that you also need to make sure that you don't go past the end
* of the captured data in the packet - you might, for example, have a
* 15-byte Ethernet packet that claims to contain an IP datagram, but if
* it's 15 bytes, it has only one byte of Ethernet payload, which is too
* small for an IP header. The length of the captured data is given in
* the "caplen" field in the "struct pcap_pkthdr"; it might be less than
* the length of the packet, if you're capturing with a snapshot length
* other than a value >= the maximum packet size.
* <end of response>

* Example compiler command-line for GCC:
* gcc -Wall -o sniffex sniffex.c -lpcap
*
****************************************************************************
*
* Code Comments
*
* This section contains additional information and explanations regarding
* comments in the source code. It serves as documentaion and rationale
* for why the code is written as it is without hindering readability, as it
* might if it were placed along with the actual code inline. References in
* the code appear as footnote notation (e.g. [1]).
*
* 1. Ethernet headers are always exactly 14 bytes, so we define this
* explicitly with "#define". Since some compilers might pad structures to a
* multiple of 4 bytes - some versions of GCC for ARM may do this -
* "sizeof (struct sniff_ethernet)" isn't used.
*
* 2. Check the link-layer type of the device that's being opened to make
* sure it's Ethernet, since that's all we handle in this example. Other
* link-layer types may have different length headers (see [1]).
*
* 3. This is the filter expression that tells libpcap which packets we're
* interested in (i.e. which packets to capture). Since this source example
* focuses on IP and TCP, we use the expression "ip", so we know we'll only
* encounter IP packets. The capture filter syntax, along with some
* examples, is documented in the tcpdump man page under "expression."
* Below are a few simple examples:
*
* Expression Description
* ---------- -----------
* ip Capture all IP packets.
* tcp Capture only TCP packets.
* tcp port 80 Capture only TCP packets with a port equal to 80.
* ip host 10.1.2.3 Capture all IP packets to or from host 10.1.2.3.

答案 0 :(得分：4)
这似乎确实是libpcap上的一个错误。根据他们的GitHub页面上的bug report，pcap_compile导致一些内存泄漏与我在代码中遇到的内存非常相似。
==1505== still reachable: 8 bytes in 1 blocks
1个区块中的8个字节，就像我的valgrind报告一样。有评论说最新的主分支版本已经修复了这个错误。
目前，Ubuntu的存储库有libpcap 1.7.4-2，而GitHub上的最新版本显然是libpcap 1.8.1。我使用VM来测试代码，因为我需要以root身份运行valgrind以使libpcap实时捕获工作。我清除了当前安装的libpcap库，克隆了最新版本，从源代码构建它并将其作为/usr/lib上的旧版本符号链接，以便在具有最新版本的VM上再次测试它。
运行相同的代码（多线程示例和修改过的sniffex代码）导致报告中出现绝对零内存泄漏！
它显然与flex而不是pcap本身有关，但是如果有人遇到同样神秘的内存泄漏，并且受到它的困扰，请下载最新的pcap版本它应该是固定的。
感谢@Kamiccolo指出它可能是一个错误！ ：）
答案 1 :(得分：0)
==2756== LEAK SUMMARY:
==2756== still reachable: 8 bytes in 1 blocks
内存仍然可以访问，因此这里没有内存泄漏。如果您真的关心它，请执行valgrind告诉您的操作并使用--leak-check=full运行以获取有关谁分配内存以及谁负责释放内存的完整详细信息。
