Yes, my bad that I didn't attach a test case.
The modification to the autoprep.pgc is enough to trigger it
because the INSERTs are auto-prepared.

Good catch, thanks. I didn't look in ECPGprepare(),
so I just copied the statement and the logic from the ELSE branch.

Yes, it is true as well, the statement name ("ecpgN") is not freed
in the error path in ECPGdo().

However, thinking a little more about this code:
    con = ecpg_get_connection(connection_name);
    prep = ecpg_find_prepared_statement(stmtID, con, NULL);
    if (!prep && !ECPGprepare(...))

I only wanted to call ECPGprepare() in case it wasn't already prepared.
ECPGprepare() also checks for the statement being already prepared
with ecpg_find_prepared_statement() but in case it exists it
DEALLOCATEs the statement and PREPAREs again so there's
would be no saving for auto-prepare calling it unconditionally and
we are doing a little extra work by calling ecpg_find_prepared_statement()
twice. We need a common function shared by ECPGprepare() and
ecpg_auto_prepare() to not do extra work in the auto-prepare case.

The attached patch implements this and also your leak fixes
plus includes your change for the autoprep.pgc regression test.

Thanks and best regards,
