Lua C API内存泄漏？ （valgrind）

Question

我试图编写一个嵌入Lua的C程序。而且，我尝试启动一个非常简单的程序，它只是创建Lua上下文，然后销毁它：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
extern "C" {
    #include <lua.h>
    #include <lauxlib.h>
    #include <lualib.h>
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    lua_State *L = lua_open();
    luaL_openlibs(L);

    lua_close(L);
    fprintf(stderr, "%s: %d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__);
    return(0);
}

我正在这样编译它：（我实际上在使用Torch7，所以..）

g++ -c -g3 -O2 -Wall -Werror -I/usr/local/torch/install/include/ -fPIC pure_lua_test.C -o pure_lua_test.o
g++ -g3 -O2 -Wall -Werror -I/usr/local/torch/install/include/ -fPIC -o pure_lua_test pure_lua_test.o -L/usr/local/torch/install/lib/ -lluajit

当我自己运行它时，它会打印

pure_lua_test.C: 16

如预期的那样（在返回之前）。

但是，当我使用valgrind运行它时（如valgrind ./pure_lua_test）

我懂了

有人知道发生了什么吗？ 为什么SIGSEGV在valgrind中运行？ 这是我应该担心的事情吗？ 基本上，我希望验证自己为Torch编写的插件没有内存泄漏...但是，如果此操作失败，那么我有点卡住了。

此问题的原因似乎是Valgrind，而不是LuaJIT。 Valgrind正在阻止MAP_32BIT，这会破坏LuaJIT 。 为了演示，在lua_State * L上添加NULL检查，您将看到在Valgrind下运行时为NULL，而在常规运行时为非NULL 。

这是我对您的样本所做的修改：

if(L == NULL) {
    printf("Could not create luaL_newstate()\n");
} else {
    luaL_openlibs(L);
    lua_close(L);
    printf("I can create luaL_newstate fine!\n");
}

当我正常运行时：

$ ./pure_lua_test 
I can create luaL_newstate fine!

但是当我在Valgrind下运行它时：

$ valgrind ./pure_lua_test
==8211== Memcheck, a memory error detector
==8211== Copyright (C) 2002-2013, and GNU GPL'd, by Julian Seward et al.
==8211== Using Valgrind-3.10.1 and LibVEX; rerun with -h for copyright info
==8211== Command: ./pure_lua_test
==8211== 
Could not create luaL_newstate()
==8211== 

GDB还报告该应用程序已退出，原因如下：

(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/pure_lua_test 
I can create luaL_newstate fine!
[Inferior 1 (process 8621) exited normally]

这是完整的MCVE：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <time.h>
extern "C" {
        #include <lua.h>
        #include <lauxlib.h>
        #include <lualib.h>
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    lua_State *L;
    L = luaL_newstate();

    if(L == NULL) {
        printf("Could not create luaL_newstate()\n");
    } else {
        luaL_openlibs(L);

        lua_close(L);
        printf("I can create luaL_newstate fine!\n");
    }

    return(0);
}

这是一篇关于MAP_32BIT的不错的文章。 希望这对您有帮助。
