为什么在分配了char *之后仍然可以访问到块？

Question

我有以下代码：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>

void print_usage()
{
  printf("%s\n", "usage");
}

int file_exist (char *filename)
{
  struct stat   buffer;   
  return (stat (filename, &buffer) == 0);
}

int parse_parameters(int argc, char *argv[], char** in)
{
  unsigned int i1 = 1; // 0 is the filename
  for (; i1 < argc; ++i1)
  {
    if( 0 == strcmp("-h", argv[i1]) )
    {
      print_usage();
      return 0;
    }
    else if( 0 == strcmp("-i", argv[i1]) )
    {
      *in = malloc( sizeof(char) * strlen(argv[++i1]) + 1 );
      strcpy(*in, argv[i1]);
      continue;
    }
    else
    {
      print_usage();
      return 1;
    }
  }
  return 0;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  if( argc != 3 )
  {
    print_usage();
    return 0;
  }

  char* in = NULL;

  int parse = parse_parameters(argc, argv, &in);
  if ( 0 != parse )
    return parse;

  printf("in: %s\n", in);

  FILE* finput = NULL ;
  if (file_exist(in))
    finput = fopen(in, "r");
  if (finput == NULL) {
      perror("fopen");
      exit(1);
  }

  free(in);
  fclose(finput);
  return 0;
}

使用带有以下参数的valgrind运行它之后：

./main -i input

我得到以下内容：

这是为什么 ？ 如果我尝试以char*传递in那么在parse_parameters函数之后它将不会更改。

由于exit (1)调用而导致程序正在退出，该调用在您free (in)之前发生。 结果，您会看到valgrind消息。
