You don’t need unsafe. Just keep pushing to a vec and never remove anything. Memory leaks are more than lost memory allocations. You can even have them with rc/arc cycles
Yeah. Lot of people also use Ai generated code… so…
I have tested if clippy would warn me with a simple example (generates 6.7gb memory usage, be careful not to crash your computer if you add another 0…), while I watch with a system monitor (in KDE):
use std::thread;
use std::time;
fn main() {
let mut vec = Vec::new(); // Create an empty Vector.
for number in 0..900000000 {
let bign: i64 = number * number;
vec.push(bign);
}
thread::sleep(time::Duration::from_secs(10));
}
I used the pedantic option of clippy and the only thing it complained was about the notation of the number…:
$ cargo clippy -- -W clippy::pedantic

Especially if you have to use unsafe libraries from C, or use any unsafe block at all to do low level programming or for performance.

Surely that’s not a memory leak, that’s just the program using a lot of memory intentionally
