On: Identifying Rust's collect:<Vec<_>>() memory leak footgun

[devmor]

I disagree that it’s a small semantic difference.

I don’t think it’s clickbait though, I think the author was just misusing terminology.

[hyperpape → devmor]

I said it was subtle, not small. I agree it's a valuable distinction.

[mratsim → hyperpape]

A memory leak means it leaks, it's not anymore under control. Here the memory is under control, it can be reclaimed by the program.
