Subject: [PATCH 4/6] lib/create: fix memory leak, ensure *database=NULL on error
Date: Sat, 23 Oct 2021 10:22:36 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211023132238.1864400-5-david@tethera.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211023132238.1864400-1-david@tethera.net>
This code previously relied on _finish_open to free the notmuch struct
on errors (except for the case of database == NULL, which was a
potential double free). When we removed those frees from _finish_open,
we introduced a (small) memory leak.
In this commit, fix the memory leak, and harmonize the on-error
behaviour with n_d_open_with_config.
