Reported incorrectly in #1817 as:
xwayland-24.1.6/redhat-linux-build/../Xext/sync.c:2835:33: acquire_memory: allocated here
xwayland-24.1.6/redhat-linux-build/../Xext/sync.c:2843:12: danger: ‘priv’ leaks here; was allocated at [(30)](sarif:/runs/0/results/5/codeFlows/0/threadFlows/0/locations/29)
but the "leak" is really saving the pointer in an uninitalized pointer in
a structure that was already freed when the malloc of the SysCounterInfo
struct failed in SyncCreateSystemCounter(), because it returned the address
of the freed struct instead of NULL to indicate failure.

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
