带有向量的分配结构的内存泄漏

Question

I'm running into an issue where, when I have a std::vector in a struct, and I heap allocate that struct, when the struct gets free'd, the vector leaks. Any ideas on how to prevent this?

Here's the code:

#include <cstdlib>
#include <string>
#include <vector>

struct foo {
  std::vector<std::string> bar;
};

const std::vector<std::string> kSample = {"test", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5"};

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  struct foo *allocated = new foo;
  for (const auto& i : kSample) {
    allocated->bar.push_back(i);
  }
  free(allocated);
  return 0;
}

Here's the valgrind results from running this code:

Answer 1

You should call delete allocated; . new and delete should be used in pair.
