Valgrind error with very simple program

[FlyingHermes]

The following simple program

Program Main
  implicit none
  write(*,*) "123"
End Program

gives some errors when run through valgrind.

Here is the output

$ ifort -v
ifort version 16.0.2

$ ifort -g main.f90

$ valgrind -v --track-origins=yes --leak-check=full ./a.out

So, the code being so trivial, I guess that these are false positive.

I am correct ?

Is there a way to get ride of them ?

Thanks

[Steven_L_Intel1]

Yes, you are correct. You have implicitly opened a file, which requires allocated memory. The file is not closed, so that memory remains allocated at the end of the program. Even if the file is closed (and there is an implicit close when the program exits, not all of the bookkeeping memory may be deallocated. valgrind doesn't understand Fortran.

You may not be able to get rid of all of the valgrind complaints.

[FlyingHermes]

Ok, Thanks for the answer.
