STL leaking?

Hi, I've been trying to find mem leaks with Visual Leak Detector. And a few detected on the STL like the example below:

The callstack is:

c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\xmemory (44): std::_Allocate<char>
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\xmemory (146): std::allocator<char>::allocate
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\xstring (1972): std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std: :allocator<char> >::_Copy
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\xstring (2002): std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std: :allocator<char> >::_Grow
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\xstring (1022): std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std: :allocator<char> >::assign
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\xstring (1033): std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std: :allocator<char> >::assign
c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 8\vc\include\xstring (634): std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std: :allocator<char> >::basic_string<char,std::char_traits<char>,std::a llocator<char> >

My leaking code:

Code:

class DecoFrame {


	private:


		std::string m_strOverlayFilename;
		std::string m_strThumbnailFilename;
...
};

DecoFrame::DecoFrame(
	const char* szOverlayFilename,
	const char* szThumbnailFilename
) :
	m_strOverlayFilename( szOverlayFilename ), <-- this one is leaking
	m_strThumbnailFilename( szThumbnailFilename ), <-- also this one 
	m_pTextureOverlay( NULL ),
	m_pTextureThumbnail( NULL )
{
}

So you see, it was only some instances of std::string but VLD reported them leaking. Is it really leaking? FYI I'm using then default STL from VS 2005 so if it's leaking, does that mean I should use stlport instead?

is your obiect destructed at some point?

Member variables that allocate memory will appear as a leak if the instance of the class itself is leaked.
Look for instances of DecoFrame that are leaked. Fix those and you'll fix the problem.

OIC. Got it. I'll check for any instance of DecoFrame deletion. Thanks.
