Thread: Is this a memory leak?

I need someone with more of a clue than I have to tell me if this code snippet shows a memory leak.

Code:

std::list< MyClass > myList;


void myFunc ( std::list< MyClass > &myList, int numObjects )
{
   MyClass * myObj;

   for ( int i = 0; i < numObjects; ++i )
   {
      myObj = new MyClass();
      myList.push_back( *myObj ); 
   }
}

I have searched online trying to find out if the STL list makes a copy of the object when it's pushed onto the list, which in my mind would definitely cause a leak, or if it will push the actual object.

I know that I can change the type of data in the list to pointers to avoid this, but I want to know what is going on in this example.

Many thanks in advance for your help!
