Somehow I missed that when trying solutions while running tests for my bindings under valgrind, but anyway... thanks that works.

If that's the issue, why not simply use xfree in your wrapped API?

That's fair as that makes sense from a C perspective.

Giving a little content for my usage of bash and why this is necessary for me... I'm wrapping bash's C API in a rust library and have to call back into C to properly free objects.

In this case, the general free() provided by C obviously isn't provided by bash's API as that would be strange, but strvec_dispose() is which can be used if this patch is applied.

Thanks for the suggestion. I think it's just as easy to use free() on the return value from get_minus_o_options(). I won't be installing this patch.

While trying to use the list of all `set` and `shopt` options externally, I noticed shopt uses savestring() and thus can be freed via strvec_dispose() while set does not even through the functions are quite similar.

I think it makes sense to handle both of these the same way so the attached patch adds savestring() calls for `set` options as well.
