-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 I have a small piece of C++ software that demonstrates leaks, but for
 whatever reason I cannot coax the file and line numbers. I used
 /usr/bin/g++ -g -W -Wall to compile every source. Some sources were
 generated by flex and bison, but otherwise it's just straightforward C++.

 ==985== 96 bytes in 4 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 13 of 22
 ==985==    at 0xB823: malloc (vg_replace_malloc.c:266)
 ==985==    by 0x5768D: operator new(unsigned long) (in
 /usr/lib/libstdc++.6.0.9.dylib)
 ==985==    by 0x100003BB5: yylex(YYSTYPE*, void*) (in ./re)
 ==985==    by 0x1000016C7: yyparse(Parser*, void*) (in ./re)
 ==985==    by 0x10000291C: main (in ./re)

 I attempted to reproduce with the following piece of C++ code, but it
 works. So, there's some difference between the two cases:

 $ cat leak.cpp
 class Foo {
     const char *name;
     int    age;

     public:

     Foo(const char *name_, int age_) : name(name_), age(age_) {};

 };

 int main(int argc, char *argv[])
 {

     Foo *foo = new Foo("foo", 1);

     foo = new Foo("bar", 2);

     return 0;
 }
 $ g++ -W -Wall -g -o leak leak.cpp
 leak.cpp:11: warning: unused parameter ‘argc’
 leak.cpp:11: warning: unused parameter ‘argv’

 $ valgrind --leak-check=full ./leak

 Any suggestions you may have would be much appreciated.
