free() 函数不释放堆内存

Question

我有 3 个文件 proj2.c、duplicate.h、duplicate.c proj2.c:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "duplicate.h"
#include<stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    if (argc <= 1)
    {
        return 1;
    }

    char **copy = duplicate_args(argc, argv);
    char **p = copy;
    argv++;
    p++;

    while (*argv)
    {
        //printf("%s %s\n", argv[1], copy[1]);
        printf("%s %s\n", *argv++, *p++);
    }

    free_duplicated_args(copy);
    //free(copy);
    return 0;
}

duplicate.h:

char **duplicate_args(int argc, char **argv);

void free_duplicated_args(char **copy);

duplicate.c:

#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<stdio.h>
char **duplicate_args(int argc, char **argv)
{
        char **arrPointer=malloc((argc-1)*sizeof(char*));
        for(int i=1;i<argc;i++)
        {
                arrPointer[i] = (char*)malloc(strlen(argv[i])*sizeof(char));
                for(int j=0;j<strlen(argv[i]);j++)
                {
                        if(argv[i][j] > 64 && argv[i][j] < 91)
                        {
                                arrPointer[i][j]=argv[i][j]+32;
                        }
                        else if(argv[i][j] > 96 && argv[i][j] < 123)
                        {
                                arrPointer[i][j]=argv[i][j]-32;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                arrPointer[i][j]=argv[i][j];
                        }
                }
//              arrPointer[i]=argv[i];

        }
        return arrPointer;
}

void free_duplicated_args(char **copy)
{
        free(copy);
}

程序相当简单。采用 n 个参数并更改字符串的大小写。我正在创建一个新数组来存储 argv 的副本（使用 malloc）。现在当我运行 valgrind: valgrind --leak-check=full ./proj2 1 它说丢失了 1 个字节。

Answer 1

您的 duplicate_args 调用 malloc argc 次，而 free_duplicated_args 只调用 free 一次，这就是内存泄漏的原因。应该是

void free_duplicated_args(int argc, char **copy)
{
    for (int i = 1; i < argc; i++)
        free (copy [i]);

    free(copy);
}

free() 函数不释放堆内存

free() function not freeing heap memory

c

malloc

free
