Why I have a memory leak in this code? C++

Question

I'm trying to do a method to insert data in a simple linked list in C++, I have a took called fsanitizer, that helps you to detect memory corruption, memory leaks, segmentation faults and more. When I have that tool activated, it throws me a "memory leak", I don't know how to solve it, here is the code:

Answer 1

Eduardo Perez Regin did you delete it in the correct place? I would do it after anchor = aux; You've probably tried that. You also need to set aux to a nullptr after you delete it:

anchor = aux;
delete aux;
aux = nullptr;

If that doesn't work, I would try using the Node type's destructor to free the memory.

Answer 2

Zeke I did that and it works, thank you so much!

Answer 3

delete aux maybe? It's the only place I can see that you've allocated dynamically

Answer 4

Zeke, I tried that already, but the program crash 🤔, maybe that's not the only error I have, I'm trying to figure out what is going on, because if I use delete aux, the program doesn't work at all, but if I don't write it, it works (with memory leak)

Might help?
