linux - alsa - 内存泄漏？

Question

我一直在追踪内存泄漏(由“valgrind --leak-check=yes”报告)，它似乎来自 ALSA。这段代码已经在自由世界中发布了一段时间，所以我猜这是我做错了什么。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <alsa/asoundlib.h>

int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
    snd_ctl_t *handle;

    int err = snd_ctl_open( &handle, "hw:1", 0 );
    printf( "snd_ctl_open: %d\n", err );

    err = snd_ctl_close(handle);
    printf( "snd_ctl_close: %d\n", err );
}

输出看起来像这样:

这是因为我在一个项目中使用 ALSA 并开始看到这个巨大的泄漏……或者至少是上述泄漏的报告。

所以问题是:是我、ALSA 还是 valgrind 在这里遇到了问题？

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob;f=MEMORY-LEAK;hb=HEAD说:

                          Memory leaks - really?
                          ----------------------

Note that some developers are thinking that the ALSA library has some memory leaks. Sure, it can be truth, but before contacting us, please, be sure that these leaks are not forced.

The biggest reported leak is that the global configuration is cached for next usage. If you do not want this feature, simply, call snd_config_update_free_global() after all snd_*_open*() calls. This function will free the cache.
