This article defines the term "memory leak."
DISCUSSION A memory leak refers to memory that is not released by an application program when the program no longer needs it. This can lead to a crash or to the program displaying an out of memory message. To resolve a memory leak, increase the amount of memory that a program uses (to delay the effect of the leak) or get an updated version of the program that has been corrected. |
