Summary0008816: tcp communicator creates multiple statistics handles
Descriptioninit_socket can be called multiple times, and each time it unconditionally calls GNUNET_STATISTICS_create, even if stats is already set. All handles except the most recent will be leaked.
Steps To Reproduce1. Build gnunet with --enable-sanitizer
2. Start the node with gnunet-arm -s
3. Stop the node after a bit with gnunet-arm -e
4. Observe reported memory leak wherever you've configured communicator-tcp to log to, provided that you have more than one address to bind to
Additional InformationIt's not clear to me why the statistics connection is being made in this particular place, but it's a pretty easy fix regardless. Patch attached.
TagsNo tags attached.
