OpenGL memory leak aaa

[tulip quartz]

I encountered a memory leak when using valgrind, it stems from the calling of glfwInit despite that I call glfwTerminate at the end of the main function. What am I doing wrong?

This code below is barely edited, being very similar to the "example" opengl code for a window.

you have to live with it

opengl one time allocates memory that it never frees

you can suppress this particular leak tho

vg_gen_supp_file:
    @printf "#define GLEW_STATIC\n#include <GL/glew.h>\n#include <GLFW/glfw3.h>\n\
    int main(void) {\nglfwInit();\nglfwTerminate();\n}" > $(SRC_DIR)/vgmain.c
    @$(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRC_DIR)/vgmain.c -o $(EXE) $(IFLAGS) $(LFLAGS)
    @valgrind \
    --leak-check=full \
    --show-reachable=yes \
    --error-limit=no \
    --gen-suppressions=all \
    --log-file=vg.supp \
    ./$(EXE)
    @sed -i 's/==.*$///g' vg.supp
    @awk 'NF' vg.supp > tmp && mv tmp vg.supp
    @rm -f $(SRC_DIR)/vgmain.c

i had this to generate me a suppression file automatically
