This avoids a leak and the need for a "cleanup:" block, along with its three goto statements. While often I prefer to write functions with a single return point, this one no longer has the need, now that "addr" is freed immediately after allocation. Adding the semicolon in the "case..." stmt may look odd. It's there because the first stmt is the declaration of "port". If you'd prefer, an alternative is to put the contents of that case inside a {...} block. From: Jim Meyering <meyering(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:27:43 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] domain_conf.c: avoid a leak and the need for "cleanup:" block * src/conf/domain_conf.c (virDomainChrDefFormat): Plug a leak on an error path, and at the same time, eliminate the need for a "cleanup:" block. Before, the "return -1" after the switch would leak an "addr" string. Now, by reversing the port,addr- getting blocks we can free "addr" immediately and skip the goto. --- src/conf/domain_conf.c | 30 +++++++++++++----------------- 1 files changed, 13 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/conf/domain_conf.c b/src/conf/domain_conf.c index 6254dc8..7815805 100644 --- a/src/conf/domain_conf.c +++ b/src/conf/domain_conf.c @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ /* * domain_conf.c: domain XML processing * - * Copyright (C) 2006-2009 Red Hat, Inc. + * Copyright (C) 2006-2010 Red Hat, Inc. * Copyright (C) 2006-2008 Daniel P.
