RE: Leak Return

["Sarcar, Shourya (MED)" <Shourya.Sarcar@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello harpreet,
essentially this looks like a memory leak problem.
mem_leak : you are allocaitn mempory (dynamically from the heap) but npot
returning it to the OS
Also, you could be returning deallocated memory or non-heap memory from a
function.
please post relevant code.

#Subject: [LIP] Leak Return
#
#
#Hi,
#
#I am creating a associative array (using MAP)
#and inserting a couple of entries (about 500)
#
#Throughout the insert procedure is successful.
#
#But when I compile the code using a code coverage tool (insure++), 
#I get a LEAK_RETURN warning at this statement during execution.
#
#(But I am getting the desired result)
#
#So my questions are :
#
#1) What is a leak return ?
#2) How can I avoid it ?
#
#Regards,
#Harpreet
