1 year ago Regarding the biggest leak: I call the function to empty out that hash table:
hashtable_delete(proper_nouns);But it doesn't seem to do anything.
void hashtable_delete(struct hash_table *ht)
{
int freed = 0;
for (unsigned int i; i < ht->array_size; i++)
{
if (ht->strings[i] != NULL)
{
free(ht->strings[i]);
ht->array_elems--;
freed++;
}
}
printf("Freed %d strings from a ht with %d elems"
"and total size %d.\n", freed,
ht->array_elems, ht->array_size);
}Here is the print from that particular hash table.
Freed 0 strings from a ht with 5742 elems and total size 11484.It works for the other hash table!
Freed 14921 strings from a ht with 0 elems [remaining] and total size 29842.
There are memory leaks in the program. In particular it appears that line buffers and words in word lists (represented by hash tables) are not being freed. I have fixed a couple of the leaks but most including the biggest remain. When testing I use a single line of text with 5 words, the minimum data for a readability score. Note: 5,742 blocks are lost in the biggest leak. This is the exact number of proper nouns on the current list.
Here is the section of the report on the most egregious leak:
