malloc() function in aprs.c #11

Closed rlharris closed 7 years ago

rlharris commented 8 years ago

I was browsing through the source code for aprs.c (refreshing my very stale C knowledge). I saw that malloc() is used to dynamically allocate memory in makeafsk() but I cannot find where the allocated memory is ever released using free().

Perhaps for most balloon flights there is no danger of exhausting the available RAM but as a matter of good housekeeping shouldn't one free the memory back to the pool?

Or did I miss something?

Cheers. Yes that was a (small) leak - 44 bytes every 1 minute. Not enough to cause a problem but needed fixing, and has been.
