Yes, but the memory is released at the end of the program execution, every single one of those times.
Yeah, for sure.
But not before thousands of tests were carried out.
The allocated memory is useless until the program exits.
According to getaddrinfo documentation:
"The getaddrinfo() function allocates and initializes a linked list
of addrinfo structures, one for each network address that matches node and service, subject to any restrictions imposed by hints, and returns a pointer to the start of the list in res. The items in the linked list are linked by the ai_next field.
There are several reasons why the linked list may have more than one addrinfo structure, including: the network host is multihomed, accessible over multiple protocols"
