--- Comment #8 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to frankhb1989 from comment #7) > This is definitely a leak from the view of libc. Why is the status INVALID > instead of WONTFIX? It is still reachable. Since it is reachable, a pointer at deconstructor time could use it. This pool is used to low memory situations. And can be used even near exit. There is no leak; a leak means it is no longer reachable. Most programs will not free some of their memory at the end of their program anyways; they would just call exit.
