Help with memory leak problem with datatype string in C++

[aton1]

Hi, i have some questions regarding the use of datatype string in C++. I use g++ compiler and also use .ccmalloc to test for the memory leak.

Here is a simple program that i have wrote which ccmalloc reports that there is a memory leak:

line 1: #include <iostream>
line 2:
line 3: using namespace std;
line 4:
line 5: int main(int argc, char **argv)
line 6: {
line 7: string test;
line 8: test = "Klungkung" ;
line 9: test.clear();
line10: return 0;
line11: }

I compile it like this:
g++ -c -g -Wall main.cpp
./ccmalloc -o maintest.exe main.o
./maintest.exe

Output display like this:

.---------------.

`------------------------------------------------------

If i uncomment the code at line 8, ccmalloc returns no garbage (no memory leak).

Does anyone could help me with this?

Thank You very much
