--- Comment #1 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
That's not a memory leak, because the memory is still reachable (and still in
use).

It has nothing to do with const char* either, you'll see the same with an empty
main function. It's a memory pool used by the implementation to be able to
throw exceptions after malloc fails.
