Nooooo! "valgrind memory leak". Aaargh. Valgrind (memcheck) is not just a leak detection tool. Leak detection is so unimportant that it isn't even turned on by default.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn’t actually know all the details about how Valgrind works under the hood just that it does memory checking. I'll definitely read up more on it. If you have any good resources or tips, I'd appreciate your suggestions!

I wrote a series of articles for ACCU overload back around 2012 to 2013. This was in 6 parts.
Introduction https://accu.org/journals/overload/20/108/floyd_1930/
Basic memcheck https://accu.org/journals/overload/20/109/floyd_1913/
Advanced memcheck https://accu.org/journals/overload/20/110/floyd_1905/
Cachegrind and Callgrind https://accu.org/journals/overload/20/111/floyd_1886/
Massif https://accu.org/journals/overload/20/112/floyd_1884/
Helgrind and DRD https://accu.org/journals/overload/21/114/floyd_1867/
More recently I wrote another one DHAT https://accu.org/journals/overload/33/185/floyd/
