The application is a third party software and source code is not available. Plugins are called by the application repeatedly during runtime. At the beginning, I thought my plugins caused the memory leak. However, I tested with a dummy plugin which does nothing. No variable is created in the main program except some DEFINE constants in the header file. Those constants are essential for the application and cannot be removed. It turns out that memory leak persists. I just wonder if the application causes memory leak. I was told by tech support of the application that resources management should be done by user himself. Any idea if the problem can be fix?

Any idea if the problem can be fix? You need first to determine where is the actual problem and a tool like Valgrind can help you. Alternatively, you could use some memory debugging library like dmalloc, but with valgrind is easiest.
