Memory leaking can be observed, without the patch, like this:


$ echo 'pkg load strings ; while 1 ; pcregexp("x", "y") ; endwhile' | octave-cli & while true ; do sleep 5 ; ps uax | grep octave-cli | grep -v grep ; done

On the other hand, with my patch:


$ echo 'pkg load strings ; while 1 ; pcregexp("x", "y") ; endwhile' | octave-cli & while true ; do sleep 5 ; ps uax | grep octave-cli | grep -v grep ; done

Some time ago, I contributed to the port of the code in src/pcregexp.cc to PCRE2 (bug #61570). I just discovered that, in my patch, the data created by the functions pcre2_compile and pcre2_match_data_create_from_pattern are not cleaned up properly, what may cause a memory leak.

The patch attached to this bug report seems to fix the problem.
