+# Some programs are using the C++ STL and string classes.
+# Valgrind reports 'still reachable' memory leaks involving these classes
+# at the exit of the program, but there should be none.
+#
+# Many implementations of the C++ standard libraries use their own memory
+# pool allocators. Memory for quite a number of destructed objects is not
+# immediately freed and given back to the OS, but kept in the pool(s) for
+# later re-use. The fact that the pools are not freed at the exit of the
+# program cause Valgrind to report this memory as still reachable.
+#
+# The behavior not to free pools at the exit could be called a bug of the
+# library though.
+#
+# Using GCC, you can force the STL to use malloc and to free memory as soon
+# as possible by globally disabling memory caching. Beware! Doing so will
+# probably slow down your program, sometimes drastically.
+#
+# There are other ways to disable memory pooling: using the malloc_alloc
+# template with your objects (not portable, but should work for GCC) or
+# even writing your own memory allocators. But beware: allocators belong
+# to the more messy parts of the STL and people went to great lengths to
+# make the STL portable across platforms. Chances are good that your
+# solution will work on your platform, but not on others.
