Hi All,
 
I have migrated YAFFS2 to windows, by using the DIRECT interface, in order to explore a YAFFS2 NAND image file (created by mkyaffs2image) under the Win32 enviroment.
My program works well, but sometime when it exits, the visual c++ 2005 warns me that there are some memory leaks. So I debug into the YAFFS2 source code, 
I found the problem is in "yaffs_CloneString", this function allocate a buffer for the alias string, but when I call "yaffs_Deinitialise" before my program 
exits, it seems the buffers allocated by "yaffs_CloneString" were not freed. so when we launch a NAND image which contains symlinks, the problem rises.
(I've try to use a constant string in instand of allocating a new one in "yaffs_CloneString", the memory leaks did not happen.)
 
Did I miss anyting other than "yaffs_Deinitialise" to do the correct shutdown?  Or it's a bug of YAFFS2?
Any suggestion will be appreciate!
 
Regards
Eriq Hunt
