No, Valgrind's "definitely lost" category means that all pointers to an allocated region have been lost, so it would not be possible to free the area. [1] There are hundreds of "possibly lost" warnings as well, but I did not report those. My experience is that Valgrind is usually correct with "definitely lost", see e.g. #10153. That said, of course it _could_ be a false alarm.
