[sr-dev] [kamailio/kamailio] Google Sanitizers: memory not freed during shutdown (Issue #2892)

[sergey-safarov]

One more [link](https://www.reddit.com/r/cprogramming/comments/57pg5s/dynamically_allocated_memory_and_fork/)
> When you fork a process, all of the malloc-heap structures will become COW by virtue of living within privately mapped page contents, which means that you can malloc, then fork, and then safely/correctly free the same pointer in the parent and child process. (Note also that the same rules apply to function returns—a single function call pre-fork can result in two valid returns post-fork with no problems, because the stack and stack management structures will be COWed.) “Required” doesn’t really enter into it TBH; if you no longer need something and it’s allocated usually, free it once you’re in the new process.
