Memory Leakage
Last updated
What is Memory Leakage?
Memory leakage occurs when dynamically allocated memory is no longer accessible by the program, but the program fails to release it back to the operating system. This results in the memory being unusable by other parts of the program or other applications, gradually reducing the available memory and potentially leading to performance degradation or even program crashes.
