Fix multiple memory leaks in Region::process() function

[avineet4]

Description

Fixes multiple memory leaks in the Region::process() function where QApplication, char** array, and int* pointer objects were not properly cleaned up before returning.

Changes Made

• Added proper cleanup for QApplication* tempApp before all return statements
• Added proper cleanup for char** argv array using delete[]
• Added proper cleanup for int* argc pointer using delete
• Ensures all return paths properly clean up allocated memory
• Maintains existing behavior while fixing the underlying memory leaks

Code Changes

File: src/utils/valuehandler.cpp
Function: Region::process()

 QVariant Region::process(const QVariant& val)
 {
     // FIXME: This is temporary, just before D-Bus is removed
     char** argv = new char*[1];
     int* argc = new int{ 0 };
+    QApplication* tempApp = nullptr;
     if (QGuiApplication::screens().empty()) {
-        new QApplication(*argc, argv);
+        tempApp = new QApplication(*argc, argv);
     }
 
     QString str = val.toString();
 
     if (str == "all") {
-        return ScreenGrabber().desktopGeometry();
+        QRect result = ScreenGrabber().desktopGeometry();
+        // Cleanup allocated memory before returning
+        delete tempApp;
+        delete[] argv;
+        delete argc;
+        return result;
     } else if (str.startsWith("screen")) {
         bool ok;
         int number = str.mid(6).toInt(&ok);
         if (!ok || number < 0) {
+            // Cleanup allocated memory before returning
+            delete tempApp;
+            delete[] argv;
+            delete argc;
             return {};
         }
-        return ScreenGrabber().screenGeometry(qApp->screens()[number]);
+        QRect result = ScreenGrabber().screenGeometry(qApp->screens()[number]);
+        // Cleanup allocated memory before returning
+        delete tempApp;
+        delete[] argv;
+        delete argc;
+        return result;
     }
 
     // ... regex processing ...
 
     if (!regex.match(str).hasMatch()) {
+        // Cleanup allocated memory before returning
+        delete tempApp;
+        delete[] argv;
+        delete argc;
         return {};
     }
 
     // ... final processing ...
 
     if (!(w_ok && h_ok && x_ok && y_ok)) {
+        // Cleanup allocated memory before returning
+        delete tempApp;
+        delete[] argv;
+        delete argc;
         return {};
     }
 
-    return QRect(x, y, w, h).normalized();
+    QRect result = QRect(x, y, w, h).normalized();
+    
+    // Cleanup allocated memory before returning
+    delete tempApp;
+    delete[] argv;
+    delete argc;
+    
+    return result;
 }

✅ Fixed clang-format compliance issue

Applied clang-format -i ./src/utils/valuehandler.cpp to ensure the code follows the project's formatting standards. The changes were minimal:

• Removed trailing whitespace
• Normalized line endings

This should resolve the CI test-clang-format workflow failure. The memory leak fixes remain intact and functional! 🚀

@mmahmoudian bro can you review this once?

This is best to be reviewed by @@borgmanJeremy

@borgmanJeremy Please review this

[borgmanJeremy]

Thanks for finding this memory leak. Could you please change the pointers to unique_ptrs? Then the cleanup function can be removed. As is it's likely future refactoring won't always call cleanup.

Thanks!

@borgmanJeremy great catch, I've done the required changes review that

Thank you !

Thanks for the contribution and patience :)
