BUG #4494: Memory leak in pg_regress.c

From

The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      4494
Logged by:
Email address:      dvice_null@yahoo.com
PostgreSQL version: Latest cvs
Operating system:   Error in source code
Description:        Memory leak in pg_regress.c
Details:

In file src/test/regress/pg_regress.c:1112

It seems to me that variables "s" and "tmp" leak memory here if last_dot is
false:


static char *
get_alternative_expectfile(const char *expectfile, int i)
{
        char       *last_dot;
        int                     ssize = strlen(expectfile) + 2 + 1;
        char       *tmp = (char *) malloc(ssize);
        char       *s = (char *) malloc(ssize);

        strcpy(tmp, expectfile);
        last_dot = strrchr(tmp, '.');
        if (!last_dot)
                return NULL;
        *last_dot = '\0';
        snprintf(s, ssize, "%s_%d.%s", tmp, i, last_dot + 1);
        free(tmp);
        return s;
}

OK. It seems as a bug. tmp and s should be freed when strrchr fails. Also there
is not check when malloc fails.
