I do not quite agree that when application shuts down, all object on heap is
automatically freed. If it was true, there is no memory leak. :-)

It is C++, not Java. :-)

It is Windows XP.

If your application ends, its associated process is terminated by the operating
system. And that means:

Terminating a process has the following results:
     * Any remaining threads in the process are marked for termination.
     * Any resources allocated by the process are freed.
     * All kernel objects are closed.
     * The process code is removed from memory.
     * The process exit code is set.
     * The process object is signaled.

Look at item 2 in the list: "Any resources allocated by the process are freed".
This includes all memory allocated by the process.
