Under ubuntu16.04 system installed with apt OpenCV, a memory leak. Write your own program uses opencv, in order to avoid misunderstandings did not release their code has memory, it is recommended to change with the new version, such as opencv3.4.5 (to compile).
sudo apt install libopencv-devInstalled opencv
OpenCV calls the C interface, basic functionsCvShowImage()
Use valgrind to check memory leaks
Test code is as follows:
//main.c
#include "opencv2/imgproc/imgproc_c.h"
#include "opencv2/highgui/highgui_c.h"
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
const char* filename = "cat.jpg";
IplImage* im = cvLoadImage(filename, -1);
cvShowImage(filename, im);
cvWaitKey(0);
cvReleaseImage(&im);
return 0;
}image:
Compile:
gcc main.c -O0 -g `pkg-config --cflags opencv` `pkg-config --libs opencv` -lmCheck for memory leaks:

Description-en: development files for opencv
This is a metapackage providing development package necessary for
development of OpenCV (Open Computer Vision).
.
The Open Computer Vision Library is a collection of algorithms and sample
code for various computer vision problems. The library is compatible with
IPL (Intel's Image Processing Library) and, if available, can use IPP
(Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives) for better performance.
.
OpenCV provides low level portable data types and operators, and a set
of high level functionalities for video acquisition, image processing and
analysis, structural analysis, motion analysis and object tracking, object
recognition, camera calibration and 3D reconstruction.
