parse-options: don't leak alias help messages
preprocess_options() allocates new strings for help messages for OPTION_ALIAS. Therefore we also need to clean those help messages up when freeing the returned options. First introduced in: 7c280589cf (parse-options: teach "git cmd -h" to show alias as alias, 2020-03-16) The preprocessed options themselves no longer contain any indication that a given option is/was an alias - therefore we add a new flag to indicate former aliases. (An alternative approach would be to look back at the original options to determine which options are aliases - but that seems like a fragile approach. Or we could even look at the alias_groups list - which might be less fragile, but would be slower as it requires nested looping.) As far as I can tell, parse_options() is only ever used once per command, and the help messages are small - hence this leak has very little impact. This leak was found while running t0001. LSAN output can be found below: Direct leak of 65 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: #0 0x49a859 in realloc /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/llvm-11.0.0.src/build/../projects/compiler-rt/lib/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:164:3 #1 0x9aae36 in xrealloc /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/wrapper.c:126:8 #2 0x939d8d in strbuf_grow /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/strbuf.c:98:2 #3 0x93b936 in strbuf_vaddf /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/strbuf.c:392:3 #4 0x93b7ff in strbuf_addf /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/strbuf.c:333:2 #5 0x86747e in preprocess_options /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/parse-options.c:666:3 #6 0x866ed2 in parse_options /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/parse-options.c:847:17 #7 0x51c4a7 in cmd_clone /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/builtin/clone.c:989:9 #8 0x4cd60d in run_builtin /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/git.c:453:11 #9 0x4cb2da in handle_builtin /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/git.c:704:3 #10 0x4ccc37 in run_argv /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/git.c:771:4 #11 0x4cac29 in cmd_main /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/git.c:902:19 #12 0x69c9fe in main /home/ahunt/oss-fuzz/git/common-main.c:52:11 #13 0x7fdac42d4349 in __libc_start_main (/lib64/libc.so.6+0x24349) Signed-off-by: Andrzej Hunt <ajrhunt@google.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
