Bug #1876
closedparent process's resource is not freed when it exits
Description
Hi,
I set server.max-worker > 0, and run "valgrind --leak-check=full sbin/lighttpd -f ..."
valgrind reported a "definitely lost".
I checked the source code, and found:
1614 /* if we are the parent, leave here */ 1615 if (!child) return 0;
I modified line 1615:
if (!child)
{
plugins_free(srv);
network_close(srv);
server_free(srv);
return 0;
}
Then I run valgrind again, no "definitely lost" was reported.

I think we´re not gonna fix anything about server.max-worker.
http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/1/Server.max-workerDetails is clear about this!

this is a valid bug and has nothing to do with the usual problems of max-worker.

What's the advantage? The OS cleans up resources after process exit anyway.

I think everything should be freed at last.
You can't always count on OS.
Besides, since you free memory resource at most parts of source code, why here don't?

Why not?

Code simplicity. Maybe it's even faster to let the OS do it.

OK, this is not a serious problem, and you can close it.

The process is about to exit, so while not explicitly clean up, the memory is not leaked. The OS reclaims all memory from the process.
