From a5aecb2cdc8c5f2c1501bdbe30c02959948d8442 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Mon, 30 Sep 2024 11:13:45 +0200 Subject: diff: improve lifecycle management of diff queues The lifecycle management of diff queues is somewhat confusing: - For most of the part this can be attributed to `DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR()`, which does not release any memory but rather initializes the queue, only. This is in contrast to our common naming schema, where "clearing" means that we release underlying memory and then re-initialize the data structure such that it is ready to use. - A second offender is `diff_free_queue()`, which does not free the queue structure itself. It is rather a release-style function. Refactor the code to make things less confusing. `DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR()` is replaced by `DIFF_QUEUE_INIT` and `diff_queue_init()`, while `diff_free_queue()` is replaced by `diff_queue_release()`. While on it, adapt callsites where we call `DIFF_QUEUE_CLEAR()` with the intent to release underlying memory to instead call `diff_queue_clear()` to fix memory leaks. This memory leak is exposed by t4211, but plugging it alone does not make the whole test suite pass.
