If you're concerned about a memory leak, try typing free repeatedly into a terminal. If you suddenly start to see RAM use quickly growing, then you've already detected a memory leak.
To find a memory leak, you've got to look at the system's RAM usage. This can be accomplished in Windows by using the Resource Monitor. In Windows 11/10/8.1: Press Windows+R to open the Run dialog; enter "resmon" and click OK.
In this article, you can learn how to find memory leaks in C and C++ applications with the help of a runtime error detection tool.
Check out Valgrind, it should be in the Ubuntu repository. it can give you detailed information about memory usage in C++ programs. Kind of like a debugger for memory usage.
valgrind --tool=memcheck <your_app> <your_apps_params> Use Valgrind for that purpose.
