realloc()泄漏内存

我有一个函数可以在字符串中添加一个字符:

void AddChToString(char **str,char ch){
    int len=(*str)?strlen(*str):0;
    (*str)=realloc(*str, len+2);
    (*str)[len]=ch;
    (*str)[len+1]='\0';
}

仪器(在mac上)和Valgrind表示行:(* str)= realloc(* str,len + 2)正在泄漏内存。这是realloc的实现问题吗?或者我使用不当?

以下是Valgrind的输出:

您的仪器是否表明存在实际泄漏或存在潜在泄漏?

如果 realloc()失败,那么使用realloc()会泄漏内存。在这种情况下,它将返回NULL但不会释放原始块。所以你将失去指向该块的指针并且无法释放它(除非指针存储在别处)。

但这应该是罕见的(即,当你耗尽记忆力时)。

如果这是您的工具所抱怨的,您应该能够通过以下方式修复泄漏警告:

void AddChToString(char **str,char ch){
    int len=(*str)?strlen(*str):0;
    char* tmp = realloc(*str, len+2);

    if (!tmp) {
        // whatever error handling is appropriate
    }

    (*str)=tmp;
    (*str)[len]=ch;
    (*str)[len+1]='\0';
}

答案 1 :(得分:3)

调用realloc本身不会泄漏内存。您应该确保重新分配的字符串的内存在不再需要时免费释放。

答案 2 :(得分:2)

我不知道有关realloc的实施问题,但此代码肯定有内存泄漏的机会:来自realloc联机帮助页:

  

如果 realloc() 失败,则原始块保持不变;它没有被释放或移动。

并且,因为realloc在失败时返回NULL,如果失败,则会丢失指向已分配的内存块的唯一指针,因此存在内存泄漏。

为避免此问题,您应该:

char * temp=realloc(*str, len+2);
if(temp==NULL)
{
    /* handle the error in some way */
}
else
    *str=temp;

答案 3 :(得分:1)

尝试使用单独的变量重新分配,然后调用strcpy将str变量放入该空间,如下所示:

void AddChToString(char **str,char ch){
char *blah;
int len=(*str)?strlen(*str):0;
blah=realloc(NULL, len+2);
strcpy(blah, str); 
(*str)[len]=ch;   
(*str)[len+1]='\0'; }
