#7047: memory leak and logic error in proxy.c in pidgin 2.5.1
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
Reporter: rfan.cn | Type: patch
Status: new | Component: libpurple
Version: 2.5.1 | Keywords: proxy detect
--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
There two defects in function purple_gnome_proxy_get_info when comparing
with pidgin 2.4.3:
'''1. there exist some memory leak'''[[BR]]
'''2. some logic error added in 2.5.1'''
'''(1)Regards memory leak:'''
line: 223
{{{
/* Check whether to use a proxy. */
if (!g_spawn_command_line_sync("gconftool-2 -g /system/proxy/mode",
&tmp, &err, NULL, NULL))
return purple_global_proxy_get_info();
}}}
if it got some stderr output, err should be released, there many places
like that in this function
'''(2)Regards logic error:'''
line: 257
{{{
if (!g_spawn_command_line_sync("gconftool-2 -g
/system/http_proxy/use_same_proxy", &tmp, &err, NULL, NULL))
return purple_global_proxy_get_info();
}}}
here no such "/system/http_proxy/use_same_proxy" entry in gnome global
configuration, from my understanding, developer just want to check wether
there set "/system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy".
* if no, if socks5 proxy host also be set, then can be decided socks5
proxy want to be used.
* if yes, then it can be decided the http proxy want to be used.
Attachment is the fixed version of proxy.c
