--- Comment #1 from Bart Van Assche (bvanassche@xxxxxxx) ---
Isn't this called an information leak instead of a memory leak?

Additionally, my understanding of the C standard is that a compiler is required
to zero-initialize members that have not been mentioned in an initializer list.
>From the ANSI C 202x draft: "The initialization shall occur in initializer list
order, each initializer provided for a particular subobject overriding any
previously listed initializer for the same subobject; all subobjects that are
not
initialized explicitly shall be initialized implicitly the same as objects that
have static storage duration."
