Hi, I think I've found a bug in the allocation of strings done by the
standard c++ library. Maybe you are already aware of it, but I thought
it might be useful to report it.
This small testcase:
-------------------
#include <string>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
std::string stars = "*************";
return 0;
}
Is reported to have leaks with three different leak analyzers:
leaktracer (2.4-1.0)
Gathered 1 (1 unique) points of data.
(gdb)
#-- Leak: counted 1x / total Size: 1280
No source file for address 0x400a7efb.
ccmalloc (0.4.0-2.0)
(...)
.---------------.

(...)
Testing with other string constructors, such as
string stars(10, '*');
or passing a string as a parameter to a procedure, gives the same
results, while using the empty constructor (string stars;) shows no
leak at all.
At first I thought this might be a problem of the leak analyzers, but 3
analyzers having the same problem seems a bit too much.
I consulted some other programmers, and all agreed that this really
looked as a bug in the standard library.
I hope you can have a look at it.
Love,
Margarita Manterola

Hi,
