Valgrind possibly lost leak #320

Closed yli082 closed 9 years ago

yli082 commented 9 years ago

When running rshell with valgrind should possibly lost memory leaks due to dynamic allocation within a child process be treated in the same way as a definitely lost memory leak? Or because this is happening within a child process can it be ignored?

I think you might be confused about the assignment. You're assignment does NOT involve running rshell in valgrind, only ls. For this assignment, there is no need to be running rshell at all!

To directly answer your question; ALL memory leaks must be fixed, and valgrind should report no warnings or errors.
