Only the E_NOT operand and not the E_NOT node itself was freed, due to
accidentally returning too early in expr_free(). Outline of leak:
switch (e->type) {
...
case E_NOT:
expr_free(e->left.expr);
return;
...
}
*Never reached, 'e' leaked*
free(e);
Fix by changing the 'return' to a 'break'.
Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix:
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 44,448 bytes in 1,852 blocks
...
Summary after the fix:
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 1,608 bytes in 67 blocks

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
