           Summary: perf/cairo-perf-graph-files.c:322: Mismatching
                    allocation and deallocation: id
           Product: cairo
           Version: 1.9.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general

I found this from latest git version.

In file perf/cairo-perf-graph-files.c:322: 
Variable id is allocated with:
char *id = g_malloc (len + 1);

And later released:
free (id);

"It's important to match g_malloc() with g_free(), plain malloc() with free(),
and (if you're using C++) new with delete and new[] with delete[]. Otherwise
bad things can happen, since these allocators may use different memory pools
(and new/delete call constructors and destructors)."

ps. The version drop down list does not have "git" or similar option for bugs
found from the very latest source files. 

This bug was found using cppcheck: http://cppcheck.wiki.sourceforge.net/
