A memory leak occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations. Memory that is no longer needed is not released, causing the available memory to run out.
// C Code Example: A Classic Leak
#include <stdlib.h>
void create_leak() {
// 1. Allocate 10MB of memory
char *data = (char*)malloc(10 * 1024 * 1024);
// 2. Do something with data...
data[0] = 'A';
// 3. ERROR: We forgot to call free(data)!
// The function ends, pointer is lost, memory is leaked.
}
int main() {
while(1) {
create_leak();
// Loop runs forever, leaking 10MB each time.
}
}Simulation Task: Click the "Run V1 (Leaky Code)" button. Watch the RAM fill up and crash. Then click "Fix Code" to add the `free(data)` command and run it again to see the stable result.
