    class Cipher
    {
    private:
         
    const string DEST_FOLDER;
    };
    
    Cipher::Cipher():DEST_FOLDER("d:\\Fun\\Test\\")
    {
    
    }
    
    int main()
    
    {
    
        Cipher c;

    There is no memory leak in this.

    when using _CrtDumpMemoryLeaks();
    just before the return 0;
    in visual studio i get this:
    Code:
    Detected memory leaks!
    
    Dumping objects ->
    
    {124} normal block at 0x005F44C8, 8 bytes long.
    
     Data: <P #     > 50 FC 23 00 00 00 00 00 
    
    Object dump complete.
    


    (of course the address and the data change every time i run the program).

    It seems to me weird too there is a leak. Dunno what to do =/ Help would be appreciated Thanks~

    That is because your cipher has not gone out of scope yet. Introduce a local scope and you will see.
