kmemleak can detect memory leak,
but I do not know how to detect other kind of leaks.
How do you think about to extend source code analysis tools accordingly?

I have no good idea,
maybe some simple match check tools can do this.



I think consciously release resource in the error path can avoid leaks.
Is it often too easy to overlook relevant function calls?

Yes, I think code review can avoid this issue in some certain degree.
