Many thanks to everyone who replied to my question "Does
memory leak": Fred J. McCall (fjm@ti.com), Robert I. Eachus
(eachus@spectre.mitre.org), T. Owen O'Malley
(omalley@porte-de-st-ouen.ics.uci.edu), Keith Thompson
(kst@alsys.com), Karl (karl@grebyn.com), Arthur Evans Jr
(evans@evans.pgh.pa.us), Henry Baker (hbaker@netcom.com),
Larry Kilgallen (kilgallen@eisner.decus.org) and everyone
else.
The short answer seems to be: (1) some early compilers were
a bit buggy and leaked, but this is no longer a problem.
(2) if you allocate memory on the free store, you are
responsable for it: some implementations may garbage collect
but not all.
Thanks again,
Duncan Sands.
