c++ Allegro 5 - memory leaks (valgrind)

Question

I try to write simple game with allegro.cc library and at the beginning I have memory leaks found by valgrind. Could anyone tell me what do I wrong? I don't believe that the allegro has memory leaks. The code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    printf("start\n");

    if (!al_init()) 
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

    ALLEGRO_DISPLAY *display = al_create_display(100, 100);
    if (display == NULL) 
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);

    al_destroy_display(display);
    al_uninstall_system();

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

I run it on Linux Ubuntu 16.04.

Command to compile the code: gcc -Wall test.c -o test.o $(pkg-config --libs allegro-5)

Command to run valgrind: valgrind --leak-check=full --show-leak-kinds=all --track-origins=yes ./test.o

Valgrind logs:

Answer 1

valgrind is reporting 160 lost bytes in 2 blocks. One is 32 bytes, the other is 128 directly lost. This is on Ubuntu 18.04 with Allegro 5.2.5. You can see them below :

The memory is reported as being leaked by allegro, but it may be nothing. I'll look into it. There's nothing wrong with your own code, so don't worry about memory leaks at the moment.
