Resolves #5206

Description

It was the case that the C bindings' CloseNode function would leak the node if the node.Close call, for some reason, failed. This was because this failure path leads to the error being returned, and the CGO handle not being deleted. This PR fixes that by moving the delete above the node.Close call, and having it deferred.

Tasks

  • I made sure the code is well commented, particularly hard-to-understand areas.
  • I made sure the repository-held documentation is changed accordingly.
  • I made sure the pull request title adheres to the conventional commit style (the subset used in the project can be found in tools/configs/chglog/config.yml).
  • I made sure to discuss its limitations such as threats to validity, vulnerability to mistake and misuse, robustness to invalidation of assumptions, resource requirements, ...

How has this been tested?

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

CloseNode now defers deletion of the node cgo.Handle, ensuring cleanup on both successful and failed node.Close calls. Existing error handling and return values remain unchanged.

Changes

Node handle lifecycle

Layer / File(s) Summary
Deferred handle cleanup
cbindings/node_close.go
CloseNode schedules cgo handle deletion before calling node.Close, so the handle is released when close returns an error or succeeds.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 00248

Close failures now release the node handle, but the wrapper does not expose the failure to callers, which can prevent detection or recovery from an unsuccessful shutdown. The PR is otherwise localized and mergeable with explicit owner awareness of this bounded lifecycle/API risk.

Expose the CloseNode error through CWrapper.Close.

CloseNode returns a non-zero C.Result when node.Close fails. However, CWrapper.Close discards that result. Callers cannot detect or report shutdown failures through this API. Return the converted error, or provide a separate error-returning close method.
