How do you know? A memory leak occurs when memory cannot be reused
within
the same program. You cannot determine that from the outside. Many STL
implementations will not return memory tot he OS, but keep it available
for the next allocation. That's not a memory leak. It's not just the
STL.
Even std::malloc( ) can do that.
