Hello Group,

I sent this message in a couple days ago, and haven't heard
any reply from the group so I thought I'd try again.

It's kinda sorta important to me that this change get incorporated
into the official code base, so please let me know what I can
do to facilitate that.

Thanks.

Subject: RE: [freetds] memory leak in tds_alloc_dynamic



Hello there.

I have noticed a memory leak in the tds_alloc_dynamic routine.
This happens whenever the only open statement atainst the 
connection is freed, and tds_free_dynamic decrements tds->num_dyns to 0,
but does not free the tds->dyns pointer.

If you come along and subsequently call tds_alloc_dynamic on 
the same tds_socket, then you leak memory when the check for

        if (!tds->num_dyns)
                
sees it as 0 and allocates a new tds buffer for tds->dyns.

The fix would be to either change this test to

      if (!tds->dyns)

or, in tds_free_dynamic to add something like this

        if (tds->num_dyns == 0 && tds->dyns) {
            free(tds->dyns);
            tds->dyns = 0;
        }

after freeing the specified dyn and decrementing tds->num_dyns.

Of course, I have studied the internals of tds for all of about 
10 minutes now, so I could be completely off my rocker here:)

Thanks in advance for tending to this...

roger
