- rwmj 2y agoYeah it's reasonable. Unfortunately if you do it, and you run tools like Coverity, it'll produces reams of complaints about how you're leaking memory :-( There was one project which was genuinely a short-lived program that never needed to free memory, but in the end I gave in and added free() statements everywhere. Otherwise we could never have got it into RHEL.
- adamrezich 2y agoWhy not just put all the free()s at the end of main() behind an #ifdef DEBUG or something?
