It was hard to track down this leak as it was an internal allocation
by glib and the backtraces did not give much away. The autofree was
freeing the allocation with g_free() but not taking care of the
individual strings. They should have been freed with g_strfreev()
instead.
Searching the glib source code for the correct string free function
led to:
G_DEFINE_AUTO_CLEANUP_FREE_FUNC(GStrv, g_strfreev, NULL)
and indeed if you read to the bottom of the documentation page you
will find:
typedef gchar** GStrv;
A typedef alias for gchar**. This is mostly useful when used together with g_auto().
So fix up all the g_autofree g_strsplit case that smugly thought they
had de-allocation covered.
