94113 - memory leak of prlog.c of all PRLogModuleInfo structures

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 54353

(NSPR :: NSPR, defect)

Description

[Jeff Hostetler]

there is no mechanism for freeing any of the PRLogModuleInfo structures
either individually or when the log file is cleaned up.  hence, they are
all leaked.

consider adding something like the following to the 
bottom of _PR_LogCleanup() in nsprpub/pr/src/io/prlog.c

    {
	PRLogModuleInfo * lm = logModules;
	while (lm)
	{
	    PRLogModuleInfo * next = lm->next;
	    if (lm->name)
		PR_Free((/*const*/ char *)lm->name);
	    PR_Free(lm);
	    lm = next;
	}
	logModules = NULL;
    }

or creating a special LogModule cleanup function and calling
from PR_Cleanup() in nsprpub/pr/src/misc/prinit.c (see the XXX
comment near the bottom of the function).

granted this only affects debug builds (thus the reduced severity),
but it does generate extra noise for the leak-testing tools.
