After #932 I decided to take a closer look on memory leak reports on exit from vere, which were previously shrugged off as false positives on objects that have static lifetimes.
I found that
_lick_io_exitforgets to free the path to IPC directory before freeing the struct itself. I also decided to explicitly annotate objects that supposedly have static lifetimes, so that LSAN printouts on exit have less noise.To review: do the objects annotated with
__lsan_ignore_objectactually have static lifetimes?
