This PR fixes a memory leak in
mpas_block_creator_build_cell_halos
by deallocating thecellLimitField
field before the routine returns.The
cellLimitField
field is allocated in thempas_block_creator_build_cell_halos
routine and is only used in a call therein tompas_dmpar_get_exch_list
. If not deallocated at the end of thempas_block_creator_build_cell_halos
routine, the memory allocated tocellLimitField
would be otherwise be leaked, since there is nothing outisde of thempas_block_creator_build_cell_halos routine
that retains a reference to it and deallocates it.
