避免POSIX线程中的内存泄漏

Question

我开始学习POSIX线程，以及从通过malloc调用内部的pthread_create调用的函数free内存。 所以我来到了以下程序：

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>

void *foo( void *vargp );

int main( void )
{
    pthread_t thread_id[5];
    const char *msg = "Hello\n";
    char **ptr = NULL;
    printf("Before Thread\n");

    for( int i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++ )
    {
        pthread_create(&thread_id[i], NULL, foo, (void*)msg);
    }

    for( int i = 0 ; i < 5 ; i++ )
    {
        pthread_join(thread_id[i], ( void* )&ptr );
        free( ptr );
    }

    printf("After Thread\n");
}

void *foo( void *vargp )
{
    char *ptr = malloc( 256 * sizeof( * ptr ) );
    strcpy( ptr, (char*)vargp );
    printf("The message is: %s \n", ptr );
    pthread_exit( ptr );
}

在我运行valgrind ：

valgrind --leak-check=full --track-origins=yes --show-leak-kinds=all ./Demo

我得到以下输出，这似乎与内存正常，并且valgrind没有报告泄漏：

现在，如果我从此处删除de \\n ，这是我不理解的事情：

const char *msg = "Hello\n";

然后再次编译并运行valgrind ，我得到：

所以我有3个问题：

1）-我是否正确地free() malloc

2）-如果删除\\n为什么会得到该输出

3）-我必须（必须） free() foo内部的内存吗？

在我看来，我的程序（以某种方式）是UB 。

Answer 1

1）是的，您已经正确释放了内存

2）操作系统内部有时会执行valgrind无法理解的一些奇怪的事情。 如果您不想看到这些消息，则应该取消规则（ http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/manual-core.html#manual-core.suppress ）

3）不，只要您在过程结束前释放内存，就不会出现内存泄漏
