From a37338aad8c4d8676173ead14e881d2ec308155c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Riccardo Mancini Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2021 18:07:14 +0200 Subject: perf report: Free generated help strings for sort option ASan reports the memory leak of the strings allocated by sort_help() when running perf report. This patch changes the returned pointer to char* (instead of const char*), saves it in a temporary variable, and finally deallocates it at function exit.
