PM07160: Memory leaks / wrong allocation in framework

Rational Rhapsody 7.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The functions OMDestructiveString2X as defined in the OXF source
  files Share\LangCpp\omco\om2str.cpp and Share\LangCpp\omco\om2s
  tr.h all contain memory leaks. The char * argument (allocated as
   new char[n]) is deallocated with the delete c  instructions ins
  tead of  delete [] c.
  Beside the memory leak, this will randomly lead to (heap) memory
   corruption.
  
  Same problem in:
  
  - Share\LangCpp\aom\aombrk.cpp (several  delete theData  are wro
  ng) S:\racine\opt\RhapsodySpecific\Share\LangCpp\tom\tomattr.cpp
  :
  TOMAttributeCItem destructor is wrong.
  
  S:\racine\opt\RhapsodySpecific\Share\LangCpp\tom\tomattr.h:
  
  TOMAttributeItem destructor is wrong.
  
  - Share\LangCpp\omcom\omsdata.h: safeGetChar returns a static ch
  ar *
  when there is a problem in the value!!!
  
  As TOMAttributeItem destructor (see tomattr.h) deletes a value o
  btained from safeGetChar (see tomattr.cpp, makeAttributeItem), t
  his will lead to weird execution problems.
