13         Elf *hdl;

22         close(fd);
23     }
24     ...
25 }
/* src/abg-elf-reader.cc end */

The file descriptor 'fd' and the memory that 'hdl' pointed to can have
a chance where they were only created but nerver been destroyed when
above code reach the line 19. Thus cause the leakage of file descriptor
and memory.

This leakage problem had already occured on our system, and the problem
finally cause process can not open any more file and complaint
'Errno 24: Too many open files'.

This patch fix above problem.

        * src/abg-elf-reader.cc (locate_alt_ctf_debug_info):
        reclaim fd and mem before break.

Good catch.

Of course.  Sorry about that.

Right, so I have amended the patch somewhat to break out of the loop
only if alt_ctf_section has been found.  Otherwise, the loop keeps going
until all the debug info paths have been explored.

Also, if an alt_ctf_section section is already available,
locate_alt_ctf_debug_info returns early.  The diff of my changes
(compared to your patch) is:

Subject: [PATCH] elf-reader: reclaim fd and mem before break

In elf::reader::priv::locate_alt_ctf_debug_info from
src/abg-elf-reader.cc, the resources held by the hdl and fd variables
aren't necessary released because the control-flow gets out of the
loop too early.  This patch fixes the problem.

        * src/abg-elf-reader.cc
	(elf::reader::priv::locate_alt_ctf_debug_info): Reclaim fd and mem
	before break.  Also, do not try to locate the debug info it's
	already been located.
