A handle leak is a type of software bug that occurs when a computer program asks for a handle to a resource but does not free the handle when it is no longer used. [1] If this occurs frequently or repeatedly over an extended period of time, a large number of handles may be marked in-use and thus unavailable, causing performance problems or a crash.
Many resource leaks are fixed by resource reclamation by the operating system after the process terminates and makes an exit system call. Resource leaks are thus primarily a problem for long-lived processes, as leaked resources held by still-running processes are often not reclaimed; and for processes that rapidly acquire and leak many resources.
Typically the handle is an index or a pointer into a global array of tombstones. A handle leak is a type of software bug that occurs when a computer program does not free a handle that it previously allocated. This is a form of resource leak, analogous to a memory leak for previously allocated memory.
In computer science, a memory leak is a type of resource leak that occurs when a computer program incorrectly manages memory allocations [1] in a way that memory which is no longer needed is not released. A memory leak may also happen when an object is stored in memory but cannot be accessed by the running code (i.e. unreachable memory). [2]
