Worked on stabilizing the cucumber/gherkin parser by addressing memory safety and leak issues in C. Focused on improving the reliability of the pickle AST path, the developer identified and fixed a memory leak by ensuring proper deallocation of ID strings, validated with tools like Valgrind and AddressSanitizer. Updates were documented in Markdown, and code changes were tracked in the repository’s changelog. This work enhanced the parser’s ability to handle large feature files and multi-language scenarios, reducing memory-related risks for downstream users and CI pipelines. Emphasis was placed on debugging, code hygiene, and robust memory management throughout the process.
