Even if there is a more correct technical term for this, I think you’re trying to fight back an ocean here. If you have a function which each time inadvertently creates a new object in memory which it never de-references (thus is never GC’d), repeated use of the function will ultimately result in memory exhaustion and termination of the process. Everyone I’ve ever met would refer to that as a memory leak.
