I just as of yesterday installed Ubuntu(terminal) on my windows computer. In addition, when ahead and installed Valgrind, "sudo apt install Valgrind", to test everything out I went ahead and create a c++ hello world program. Then tested it with Valgrind. The Valgrind said I had about "72,704 bytes in 1 block". Further research, I performed suggested this was a bug of Valgrind with the c++ standard library functions, possible the iostream. My question is how do I go about fixing this bug. I can't ignore because if I am working on programs I need to able to accurately gauge where it's coming from. If anyone can provide a step by step solution for my problem in layman's term for the problem it would be invaluable. here is my code and errors I get:


C++
#include <iostream>
using std::cout; using std endl;

int main(){
  cout << "hello world" <<endl;
}

What I have tried:

Honestly, nothing because I don't know what to do and the answers I found online weren't concrete.

The report says no errors so what are you concerned about? If you think Valgrind has a bug then you should go back to Valgrind Home[^] to see what they say.

I don't believe I said anything but errors I was specifically talking about the false leaks I had
