Hi!
I compiled the following programm and started it using memusage. The
result were 116 bytes allocated and not freed.
memtest.cpp
int main() {} // Empty program, does nothing
Compiled with
g++ memtest.cpp -o memtest
memusage ./memtest
Here memusage reports 116 bytes that were allocated but not freed. On
another machine the value was not 116 but 64. So this doesnt seem to be
a constant.
I tested with gcc 3.1 and gcc 3.2 20020903, on Debian and Suse, with
memusage and valgrind, always some bytes lost.
Is this a bug or can this "leak" be ignored?
thx,
Christoph
