#ifdef out a number of calls to free() left over from the original GNU ypserv implementation. As near as I can tell, the Berkeley DB package does its own garbage collection, hence the caller doesn't have to worry about free()ing the memory returned in the DBT structures during lookups (I'm still not 1005 sure about this: the DB code is very hard to follow. I must use dynamically allocated memory since you can retreive arbitrarily large records from a database, but I'm not sure where it ends up letting go of it). This was not true with GDBM; you had to do your own garbage collection. The general rule is that if you allocate memory inside an RPC service routine, you have to free() it the next time the routine is called since the underlying XDR routines won't do it for you. But if the DB package does this itself, then we don't need to do it in the main program. Note that with the original malloc(), there were never any errors flagged. phkmalloc complained quite loudly. |
