I must be missing something - how is a memory leak = allocated memory which

just defining my terms.


And AG memory may be freed using RCLACTGRP or the relevant CEE API - or use
AG *NEW to have it happen automatically?

right, and the shutting down of the activation group also closes files
and clears static variables. The activation groups work well but
they also add complexity to applications. The COBOL STOP RUN statement
comes to mind in this regard.

My main point is you cant have the .NET framework or Java class
library without managed code/garbage collection. C++ tried and the
result was something with too many moving parts to be of use in
commercial applications. Without framework classes, a language is
destined for the legacy heap.
