if I executed the app and pass ** ( ccomand) **, it generates a free invalid pointer
yes , you must pass [SPACE,comand]
example:

./nutshell 
--->   ls 

Explanation:

on the file: src/core/parser.c
on the function: **ParsedCommand parse_command(char input){ (line 16)

in part : ** input_copy = trim_whitespace(input_copy);** (line 26), you were remove a + size of the string
making the oriignal pointer, became some bytes higher than the original size
causing invalid pointer on free

Solution

create a copy of the original pointer

Walkthrough

The pull request updates the parse_command function in src/core/parser.c to enhance memory management and error handling. A new variable, original_input_copy, is introduced to store the pointer returned by strdup(input), which is used for memory deallocation instead of the modified input_copy. This change ensures that memory is properly freed in various error scenarios, preventing potential memory leaks.

Changes

File Path Change Summary
src/core/parser.c Updated parse_command to introduce original_input_copy for proper memory deallocation; modified error handling to free the correct pointer and prevent leaks.

Poem

In my burrow of code I skip with delight,
Fixing memory leaks by day and night.
With a new pointer to guide my way, 🥕
My code hops cleanly, come what may.
A rabbit sings in bytes so bright!

    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

25-25: Variable naming could be improved for consistency and clarity.

The variable name first_addres_of_input_copy has a spelling error ("addres" should be "address") and doesn't follow consistent naming conventions. Consider using something like original_input_copy which better describes its purpose.

-    char *first_addres_of_input_copy = input_copy;
+    char *original_input_copy = input_copy;

29-30: Proper handling of memory after trim_whitespace - good fix.

This change correctly ensures we're freeing the original memory address rather than the modified pointer returned by trim_whitespace. Setting the pointer to NULL afterward is also good practice.

-        free(first_addres_of_input_copy);
-        first_addres_of_input_copy =NULL;
+        free(first_addres_of_input_copy);
+        first_addres_of_input_copy = NULL;

37-38: Missing space in NULL assignment.

There should be a space before NULL in the assignment.

-        free(first_addres_of_input_copy);
-        first_addres_of_input_copy =NULL;
+        free(first_addres_of_input_copy);
+        first_addres_of_input_copy = NULL;

91-94: Final memory cleanup - needs spacing improvements.

The code correctly ensures the original allocation is freed even in the success path, but has style issues.

-    if(first_addres_of_input_copy){
+    if (first_addres_of_input_copy) {
         free(first_addres_of_input_copy);
         first_addres_of_input_copy = NULL;
     }

46-48: Memory cleanup in error path - good fix.

This correctly frees the original memory allocation when args allocation fails, preventing a memory leak.


25-94: This is a correct fix for the invalid free pointer issue.

The original bug occurred because trim_whitespace() modifies the pointer in-place when removing leading whitespace, causing the original allocation address to be lost. By storing the original pointer in first_addres_of_input_copy, you ensure the correct address is used when freeing memory.

This change effectively addresses the issue described in the PR where commands without a space were causing invalid free pointers.
