Synopsis: Memory leak resulting from std::valarray->push_back(arg)

State-Changed-Why:
    You seem a bit confused. First, there is no push_back method for valarray. Second, this simple program:
    
    #include <valarray>
    
    int main()
    {
      std::valarray<double> a(20);
      a.resize(40);
      return 0;
    }
    
    Shows no valgrind leaks. 
    
    More on that part: you'll need to use valgrind 1.0.4 or later with gcc-3.2 toolchains (as indicated by the valgrind RELEASE NOTES: I suggest a careful reading.) 
    
    After that, I suggest this page, which has gcc/libstdc++ specific hints on how to use valgrind:
    http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/debug.html
    
    Sadly, 3.2.0 shipped with some memory leaks that have since been fixed in the 3.2.1 release: I suggest you use the later version of gcc if possible.
    
    Here is the valgrind output for 3.2.1, running on linux. The leaks shown (8bytes) are known issues:
