分配/重新分配的内存发生内存泄漏,“肯定会丢失1个块中的5个字节”

在检查程序中的内存泄漏时出现valgrind错误。 在分配/重新分配内存时,该错误发生在我的cutString函数中的某个位置,但是我不确定自己在做什么错。

我分配的内存不正确吗?

这是valgrind的输出:

这是我的代码:

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

char *cutString(char *str, char del)
{ 
  char *new_string = (char*) malloc(strlen(str) * sizeof(char) + 1);

  int i = 0;
  while (str[i] != del)
  {
    new_string[i] = str[i];
    i++;
  }

  new_string[i] = '\0';

  new_string = (char*) realloc(new_string, strlen(new_string) + 1);

  return new_string;
  free(new_string);
}

int main()
{
  printf("%s\n", cutString("Hello World!", 'o'));
  return 0;
}

我猜我没有正确使用realloc,但我不知道为什么。
一些帮助将不胜感激,谢谢!

cutString必须分配内存并返回它。当然(幸运的是)没有到达无条件return之后的所有语句。

  return new_string;
  free(new_string);   // never executed
}

幸运的是!因为否则您将返回未分配的内存:未定义的行为。

这里的问题是,您要将返回的值传递给printf,但是在调用之后,指针丢失了。您必须存储它才能释放它,但是仅在打印后

int main()
{
  char *s = cutString("Hello World!", 'o'));
  printf("%s\n", s);
  free(s);
  return 0;
}

在C语言中,无法在不产生内存泄漏的情况下流水线向printf分配内存的函数。其他语言具有垃圾收集器或对象析构函数,但没有C。
