This article delves into the "Still Reachable" memory leak issue reported by the Valgrind tool.

This article explores the two primary methods of creating class objects in C++: automatic storage objects (e.g., Example example;) and dynamically allocated objects (e.g., Example* example = new Example();). It clarifies the necessity of constructors in object creation, explaining that even without explicit definition, compilers generate implicit constructors. The differences in storage duration, lifecycle management, and memory handling are detailed, with emphasis on the need for manual delete to prevent memory leaks in dynamic allocation. Modern C++ alternatives like smart pointers (e.g., std::shared_ptr) are introduced as safer options. Finally, a singleton pattern implementation demonstrates how to combine automatic storage objects with static local variables for thread-safe singleton instances.
