Technically it is.

The OS is just kind enough to sweep it under the rug. It won't make it easier to find "real" leaks with tools, because your developers will tend to say the same: "It's not a leak, it's cleared by the OS anyway..."

Fix the double-deletes instead - those are real issues! If an object is double-deleted it might be an indication that it should not have been allocated on the stack in the first place...
