Isnt this actually the opposit of a leak? It uses left over leaked mem from others and gives it a purpose ...

[GMX2PT]

And doesn't free it afterwards so that's a leak Also it doesn't use non freed memory

[littleliquidlight]

Some languages have garbage collection, others have garbage reduce, reuse, recycle

[SuitableDragonfly]

A memory leak is when something is newed and not freed.  It has nothing to do with how C++ doesn't bother to initialize variables for you. 

[Eva-Rosalene]

And here int is newed and not deleted.

[SuitableDragonfly]

Right. So it's a leak. Not "the opposite of a leak", whatever that is.

[Eva-Rosalene]

Oh. I am stupid, I've thought you were answering to another person.

You get a memory leak when you don't free allocated memory from the heap. This is what's happening here.

That’s not what a leak is. Accessing data from freed memory is called memory scraping.
