Description
Consider this very basic program:
main.cpp:
#include <QApplication> #include <QtWidgets> int main(int argc, char **argv) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QLabel label("Hello World!"); label.show(); return app.exec(); }
untitled.pro:
QT += widgets CONFIG += c++17 SOURCES += main.cpp
If I build this with debug on Ubuntu and then run valgrind --num-callers=500 --leak-check=full ./untitled, I get a memory leak:

If I create more complicated programs with Qt, I get even more memory leaks.
Please test your Qt functions in Valgrind to eliminate these kinds of memory leaks.
