  Some code pathes forget to free memory on exit.

Same as with the fd's, kernel will free all memory for us at exit().

hi, can you let me know the pointer to exit() said by you?

If there's lots of memory allocated, it may be even faster to leave the
unallocation process to kernel as it will do it in one go, while the
application would unnecessarily free it chunk by chunk.

got it, thanks.
