From 7861fa07c38d72a4fa6ae2e802553b8b0f3731d4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?=C3=86var=20Arnfj=C3=B6r=C3=B0=20Bjarmason?= Date: Sun, 9 Apr 2017 19:59:00 +0000 Subject: grep: plug a trivial memory leak MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Change the cleanup phase for the grep command to free the pathspec struct that's allocated earlier in the same block, and used just a few lines earlier. With "grep hi README.md" valgrind reports a loss of 239 bytes now, down from 351.
