I am using the above code in order to create a list with all the filepaths in a certain directory. (In my case fts.h or ftw.h are not an option).
I am using GLib as the data structures library. Still I have my doubts in regarding the way GLib is allocating, de-allocating memory ?
When invoking g_slist_free(list) i also free the data contained by the elements ?
Why all those memory leaks appear ?
Is valgrind a suitable tool for profilinf memory issues when using a complex library like GLib ?
LATER EDIT:
If I g_slist_foreach(l,(GFunc)g_free,NULL);, the valgrind report is different, (All the memory leaks from ‘definitely lost’ will move to ‘indirectly lost’). Still I don’t see the point ? Aren’t GLib collections implement a way to be freed ?
No,
g_slist_freedoes not free data you store in the list (e.g. strings). It has no way of knowing whether and how you want to free this data. You might store the same pointer in multiple lists. Also, you can store non-pointer types in the list, or types that aren’t allocated withmalloc. The collection doesn’t let you provide a destructor function. So you do need to loop through and free your data before freeing the list.Also,
g_slistcan use memory pools, so valgrind may not always give correct results.Other types, such as
GPtrArray, let you provide a destructor (GDestroyNotify) for element data.
