It obviously is a joke, but at the same time it's actually a viable approach for the right problem. Sometimes leaking is very tolerable and in terms of programmer time, very cheap!
- Voultapher 3y agoI think the mold linker does this.

- _a_a_a_ 3y agoYes. Hence the word 'joke' I used. For short running programs, it's fine. The longer running programs you can often find a few places where 95% of the leaks happen and easily 'free' those leaving the last 5% to leak slowly. It depends. Just remember it's a valid solution sometimes.
- Dylan16807 3y agoI still don't understand. The joke and the sometimes valid solution are different strategies. The joke only reminds people of the valid solution. It feels like multiple people are giving the article the briefest skim and assuming the two are the same. Perhaps focusing on the words "optional to call free" and extrapolating off that without looking at the code or properly reading the rest of the text. Unless I'm badly missing something?
- _a_a_a_ 3y agoI think you're just looking more deeply at it than I am. No more than that.
