leak
|
|
|
|
n. With qualifier, one of a class of resource-management bugs that occur
|
|
when resources are not freed properly after operations on them are finished,
|
|
so they effectively disappear (leak out). This leads to eventual exhaustion
|
|
as new allocation requests come in. memory leak has its own entry; one might
|
|
also refer, to, say, a window handle leak in a window system.
