Summary0000892: luafontloader memleak patches
DescriptionThe set of patches addresses four resource leaks in the fontforge
code that occur with fontloader.open() or fontloader.info().
Fonts required to trigger the leaks and their sha1 checksums:

* ipam.ttf: dbbdd8c7fd5c572a5eb5c118f972a610ecea4b84

* xits-math.otf: 0df83068c976a2414f17feb202fac529b3fb3475

* kozminpr6n_regular.otf: cca7638b88e31b42a23e6ce9de2e2dd043127503

All patches combined account for a balance of -15642 leaked
bytes with the 1458 fonts on my system when reindexing font
files with Luaotfload.

Steps To ReproduceRun this snippet as ``valgrind texlua leakcheck.lua open FONTNAME``
(or ``info FONTNAME``, respectively).

    #!/usr/bin/env texlua
    local main = function ()
      if #arg ~= 2 then os.exit (1) end
      local fnt = arg[2]
      local fontdata = fontloader[arg[1]] (fnt)
      return 0
    end
    
    return main ()
Additional Information1. macenc.c: MacStrToUtf8() allocates the same buffer twice without
    free()ing it.
    Example: ipam.ttf, 1398 B less leaked with fontloader.info().

2. splineutil.c: SplineFontFree() fails to deallocate the field
    ``MATH``.
    Example: xits-math.otf, 114 B less leaked with fontloader.open().
    
3. parsettf.c: ApplyVariationSequenceSubtable() allocates a one or
    more struct vs_data (3 ints), never freeing them.
    Example: xits-math.otf, 12 B less leaked with fontloader.open().

4. macenc.c: MacStrToUtf8() when exiting early fails to close non-NULL
    iconv descriptor and free a recently allocated buffer.
    Example: kozminpr6n_regular.otf, 8 + 286 B less leaked with
    fontloader.open().

Attached another batch of (mostly) memleak patches for the luafontloader:

1. oob-access-parsettf.c-_readencstring.patch (Not actually a leak but
    whatever.)
    parsettf.c: _readencstring() accesses the out[] array out of
    bounds. 100 % reproducible by calling fontloader.info() on the
    avkv.ttf font which has invalid strings.

2. memleak-splinefont.c-ReadSplineFontInfo.patch
    splinefont.c: In ReadSplineFontInfo() the region initially
    allocated to fontlist is iterated over but never freed. Same for
    the strings allocated by NamesReadTTF() and SFREadMacBinaryInfo().
    Example: HGRGM.TTC, 160 less bytes leaked with fontloader.info().

3. memleak-splineutil.c-parsettf.c-chosenname.patch
    parsettf.c, splineutil.c: The field “chosenname” is being omitted
    from copying in SFFillFromTTFInfo() and not freed along with the
    remaining fields in SplineFontFree(). Example: HGRGM.TTC, 32 less
    bytes leaked with fontloader.info().

4. memleak-parsettf.c-readttfpostnames.patch
    parsettf.c: A character’s name field is overwritten without freeing
    possibly existing fields. Occurs at index 258 with the string
    “.notdef”. Example: OpenSans-SemiboldItalic.ttf, 8 less bytes
    leaked with fontloader.open().

5. memleak-parsettfatt.c-ttf_math_read_gvtable.patch
    parsettfatt.c: ttf_math_read_gvtable() doesn’t guard the allocation
    of ttfinfo->{horiz,vert}_variants which may have been allocated
    previously by the same function. This situation occurs if
    GuessNamesFromMATH() is called before otf_read_math(). Example:
    subfont 1 of cambria.ttc, 2232 less bytes leaked with
    fontloader.open().

6. memleak-parsettfatt.c-ttf_math_read_constants.patch
    parsettfatt.c: ttf_math_read_constants() doesn’t guard the
    allocation of ttfinfo->math which may already have been allocated
    by ttf_math_read_variants(). This situation occurs if
    GuessNamesFromMATH() is called before otf_read_math(). Example:
    subfont 1 of cambria.ttc, 14 less bytes leaked with
    fontloader.open().

7. memleak-luafflib.c-ff_close.patch
    luafflib.c: With some fonts the _FontViewBaseCreate() creates a new
    EncMap for the FontViewBase. In these cases the EncMap that is part
    of the original SplineFont must be deallocated separately. Example:
    FandolSong-Bold.otf, 56 less bytes leaked with fontloader.open().

Thank you for the report, I will investigate.

it's still open, but in the meanwhile we have fixed several other mem leaks.
