Thread: A memory leak

Everyone,

I wrote this trivial program in minutes to see how well it would come out. I produces the correct answers. But I don't know how to plug the memory leak Splint found. Would you please tell me how to solve the problem.

If you think I caught OCD, you're. right. I'd hate to hear Splint complain about anything. That's why I assign function values to integer variables when most programmers wouldn't do that.

Code:

#define MAXNUMS 30#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdbool.h>


static bool between(const unsigned int low,  const unsigned int high, const unsigned int value)
{
    return value >= low && value <= high;
}


static void print_list(unsigned int list[],  const unsigned int length)
{
    register  unsigned int place;
    int n;

    n = puts("Fibonacci numbers");
    for (place = 0; place < length; ++place)
        n = printf("%u ", list[place]);
    
    n = putchar('\n');
}


static unsigned  int *fibonacci_numbers(unsigned int numbers[], const unsigned int n)
{
   register  unsigned int place;


    numbers[0] = 0;
    numbers[1] = 1;


    for (place = 2; place <= n; ++place)
        numbers[place] = numbers[place-1] + numbers[place-2];
    return numbers;
 }

 
int main(void)
{
     int n;
     unsigned int count; 
     unsigned int numbers[MAXNUMS];


     n = puts("How many Fibonacci numbers should I generate?");
     n = scanf("%u", &count);
     if (!between(1, MAXNUMS, count))
         printf("%u is not betweem 1 and %u.\n", count, MAXNUMS);
     else
        print_list(fibonacci_numbers(numbers, count), count);
     return 0;
 }
