Note, the caller expects that if the function returned an error, all 
temporary allocations made by the function have been freed - the caller 
doesn't need to free those allocations.

In this error handling path, you leak the allocated temp_w

If we return an error here, we have already allocated an output in 
ppath_w - but the caller won't clean up such allocations on errors. Thus, 
if we have allocated something here (that wasn't allocated before), we 
must take care to clean it up on errors.


Additionally - with all the references to .NET6, could you add a base url 
somewhere in the code, where one can look up those references? For someone 
not familiar with the .NET ecosystem, I'm not entirely sure where I would 
start.
