| Description: |
In Tcl_Import function, the following variable is initialized but never freed:
Tcl_DString ds;
Tcl_DStringInit(&ds);
Tcl_DStringAppend(&ds, nsPtr->fullName, -1);
...
This will result in memory leak. The attached patch fixes this problem.
Note that the patch is similar to the Tcl_DStringFree(&ds) call found in
Tcl_ProcObjCmd function in tclProc.c file.
Thanks,
Hemang.

I'm surprised that Purify never picked up this leak. This looks to be in the path of 'namespace import'. | |||
