Memory leaks when application is compiled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS

まず、提示された AddressSanitizer コマンドを使って、提供された test.cc を BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS ありとなしの両方でコンパイルし、リークレポートを比較します。program_options::options_description_easy_init と bool_switch を通じて報告された割り当てを追跡します。マクロがリークの原因になるかどうかを説明し、どちらのビルドにもリークを導入せずに修正できれば完了です。

There's a memory leak if an application is compiled with BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS, is this expected behaviour?

test.cc:

#include <boost/program_options.hpp>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
        boost::program_options::options_description opts{"Test"};
        opts.add_options()
                ("help,h", boost::program_options::bool_switch(), "display this help and exit");

        return 0;
}

Without BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS defined:

$ g++ -fsanitize=address  test.cc  -lboost_program_options -lboost_system -o test
$ ./test
$

With BOOST_DISABLE_THREADS defined:

$ g++ -fsanitize=address -DBOOST_DISABLE_THREADS  test.cc  -lboost_program_options -lboost_system -o test
