Memory Leak Function

51 // memory leak 52 void memoryLeak() { int* p = new int; delete p; }

A dark-themed C++ code snippet defines a function called memoryLeak, allocates an integer, and immediately deletes it. The joke is that the function is named like a memory leak, but the shown code actually frees the allocated memory, making the punchline an ironic programming gag. It can be sent as a reaction to technically misleading code or a deliberately bad function name.
