In this situation IBM® Rational® Test RealTime® reports a memory leak. This happens when you use the Standard Template Library (STL) container classes, vector, list, and others, implemented in the GNU C++ library. You see this even though the code destroys the container object at the end of the function.
Consider the following example code.
[]
#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;
main()
{
vector v(6); /*[] MLK : Memory leaked here []*/
for (int j=0; j<6; j++) {
v[j] = j;
cout << j << ": " << v[j] << endl;
}
v.clear();
}

Test RealTime reports a memory leak at the declaration of []v[] even though the code destroys it at the end of the function.
