.Verified with this patch build: https://spruce.mongodb.com/version/67a124ca58a59000075fa19d
Background & Motivation
Coverity identified a possible resource leak on this block. This roughly does the following:
If
bson_append_array_builder_begin
returns false, thechild
out-param is left allocated. Whereas a failure inbson_append_array_begin
does not require a clean-up of thechild
.For consistency with
bson_append_array_begin
, this PR changesbson_append_array_builder_begin
to freechild
on failure.child
is set toNULL
to permit existing code to safely callbson_append_builder_destroy
.
