Fixing resource leaks for one-off test cases (processes execute and
then immediately exit) seems to be something that would fit in the
definition of "trivial", so I would advise to perhaps send those
patches to [email protected] ?

These added calls to close(2) miss handling of possible close errors
(check return value and use errno to print an error).

Thanks,

Mathieu

The opened file should be closed in main(), otherwise resource

Open failed so there is nothing to close.

When we exit() then all the resources are automatically reclaimed by the
operating system so we really don't worry about leaks at all in short
running programs. It's different for an operating system or a web
server which is expected to have a long uptime. But these programs are
going to run quickly and then exit so resource leaks are not an issue.

Hi Dan Carpenter

I believe that the Linux kernel code is sacred and should strictly adhere to C code conventions

thanks,

*sigh*. You do you, I guess. This patch is pointless but I don't care
whether it's merged or not.
