java - Memory leak in JNI function Java_java_io_WinNTFileSystem_rename0? -


i think following function in file jdk/src/windows/native/java/io/winntfilesystem_md.c in http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk6/promoted/b27/openjdk-6-src-b27-26_oct_2012.tar.gz neglects free memory used frompath or topath if 1 of them found null...

jniexport jboolean jnicall java_java_io_winntfilesystem_rename0(jnienv *env, jobject this, jobject from,                                  jobject to) {      jboolean rv = jni_false;     wchar *frompath = filetontpath(env, from, ids.path);     wchar *topath = filetontpath(env, to, ids.path);     if (frompath == null || topath == null)         return jni_false;     if (_wrename(frompath, topath) == 0) {         rv = jni_true;     }     free(frompath);     free(topath);     return rv; } 

am missing something? in fact bug?

resolved:  looking further details of function pathtontpath in io_util_md.c, can see filetontpath return null in case of out-of-memory error, guess don't care if neglect free malloced when jvm crash! still should documented in java_java_io_winntfilesystem_rename0 function in opinion though.

i think original point valid. while research other function used code suggest problem might not important, code lacking when viewed in , of itself.

the general rule of code reviews if has question, should answered in code @ least comment.

the general rule of comments if can expressed in code, possibly should be.

all of these issues go away if code written eliminate question.
