Overloaded assignment operators can leak memory #2581

Description

@eholk

It seems to involve pointers... Here's a test case with several examples and non-examples.

impl methods<T: copy> for [T] {
    fn -(x: [T]/&) -> [T] {
        [x[0], x[0], x[0]]
    }

    fn foo(x: [T]/&) -> [T] {
        [x[0], x[0], x[0]]
    }
}

impl methods<T: copy> for ~T {
    fn +(rhs: ~T) -> ~T {
        rhs
    }
}

impl methods for ~int {
    fn -(rhs: ~int) -> ~int {
        ~(*self - *rhs)
    }
}

fn main() {
    // leaks
    let mut bar = [1, 2, 3];
    bar -= [3, 2, 1];
    bar -= [4, 5, 6];

    io::println(#fmt("%?", bar));

    // okay
    let mut bar = [1, 2, 3];
    bar = bar.foo([3, 2, 1]);
    bar = bar.foo([4, 5, 6]);

    io::println(#fmt("%?", bar));

    // okay
    let mut bar = [1, 2, 3];
    bar = bar - [3, 2, 1];
    bar = bar - [4, 5, 6];

    io::println(#fmt("%?", bar));

    // Leaks
    let mut bar = ~1;
    bar += ~2;
    bar += ~3;

    io:: println(#fmt("%?", bar));

    // Leaks
    let mut bar = ~1;
    bar -= ~2;
    bar -= ~3;

    io:: println(#fmt("%?", bar));
}
