memory leak in DcmElement::getPartialValue

#1 Post by Shaeto »

getPartialValue does not destroy readStream if stream status is not okay after creation

Code: Select all

    // initialize the cache with new stream
    if (!readStream)
    {
      readStream = fLoadValue->create();
    
      // check that read stream is non-NULL
      if (readStream == NULL) return EC_InvalidStream;

      // check that stream status is OK
      if (readStream->status().bad()) return readStream->status();

      cache->init(readStream, this);
    }
here is a simplest test, i know situation is strange but live in big application is not so easy :)
you'll need any dicom file test.dcm having PixelData in root dataset

Code: Select all

#include "dcmtk/config/osconfig.h"
#include "dcmtk/dcmdata/dctk.h"

int main()
{
    std::cout << "beginning" << std::endl;

    DcmFileFormat ff;

    OFString test_filename = "test.dcm";

    if (ff.loadFile(test_filename, EXS_Unknown, EGL_noChange, DCM_MaxReadLength, ERM_autoDetect).good())
    {
        DcmElement *e = NULL;

        if (ff.getDataset()->findAndGetElement(DCM_PixelData, e).good())
        {

            if (rename(test_filename.c_str(), (test_filename + ".bak").c_str()) == 0)
            {
                std::cout << "renamed" << std::endl;
            }

            char buffer[1024];

            unsigned long size = e->getLength();
            printf("%04x,%04x - %lu bytes\n", e->getGTag(), e->getETag(), size);
            OFCondition result = e->getPartialValue(buffer, 0, std::min(size, sizeof(buffer)));

            if (result.bad())
            {
                std::cout << "failed to read value: " << result.text() << std::endl;
            }
            else
            {
                std::cout << "partially read" << std::endl;
            }
        } else {
            std::cout << "no pixels to read" << std::endl;
        }
    } else {
        std::cout << "can't read file " << test_filename << std::endl;
    }

    return 0;
}
