basic_dp_complex_dft_2d.c has memory leaks

[wujp1978]

First I created a MFC Dialog project, then add "basic_dp_complex_dft_2d.c" to this project, and change "int main(void)" to "int fft_mkl(void)", then call fft_mkl in the MFC App. When the program exited, memory leaks were detected.

Some details is like

"

The thread 'Win32 Thread' (0x1648) has exited with code 2 (0x2).

First-chance exception at 0x7c812afb in testmkl_MFC.exe: 0xA1A01DB2: 0xa1a01db2.

When I added"basic_dp_complex_dft_2d.c" to a console program, and memory leaks were not found.

My MKL version is 10.3.6.

It is possible that this is a false warning or that the memory leak is of a benign nature. I say this because I have seen similar false alarms from Valgrind and other memory leak detection programs, which often rely upon looking for certain code sequences to detect memory leaks. For example, one such memory leak checker "finds" memory leaks in any program that does Fortran I/O.

Please try to explicitly free the memory allocated by MKL memory managements by calling

mkl_free_buffersfunction at the end of your program.
