Inspector unable to detect memory leak

[manik_s_]

I have a function that allocates memory like :

void funcA(void* args)

{

   char* memory_leak = (char*)malloc(1000);

}

now I create a thread on this function, which therefore must allocate the mentioned memory, and exit.

My application is multi-threaded and I have created one more thread on this function.

But when I run Intel Inspector on my application, it doesnt show this as a memory leak.

I ran both mi1 and mi2 level of memory analysis but this leak was not detected.

Any ideas ?
