How can I plug this C++ memory leak?
I have a program that is giving the expected output, however I am receiving the following errors below my output"
* glibc detected * PathFinder2: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb6046b70 ***
I run my program using Valgrind. However i do not have a file called pthread_create.c or pthread_create.c.
How can I troubleshoot the error based on these stats by Valgrind:
==3439== 800 bytes in 1 blocks are definitely lost in loss record 100 of 103
==3439== at 0x402ADFC: operator new[](unsigned int) (in /usr/lib/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-x86-linux.so)
==3439== by 0x80560B5: Assignm3::Maze::InitMazeArray() (in /home/a/Desktop/PathFinder2)
==3439== by 0x8055167: Assignm3::Maze::LoadMaze(std::string) (in /home/a/Desktop/PathFinder2)
==3439== by 0x804A1F8: solveMaze(void*) (in /home/a/Desktop/PathFinder2)
==3439== by 0x4052F6F: start_thread (pthread_create.c:312)
==3439== by 0x42A170D: clone (clone.S:129)
Update Is there logic error in this part which lead to memory leak. I cant seem to find anything wrong.

It seems that you have new[] without delete[] in Assignm3::Maze::InitMazeArray().
