5582	There is a memory leak in the BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE	Anton Matosov <anton.matosov@…>	Gennadiy Rozental	"There is memory leak in the boost::unit_test::ut_detail::generate_test_case_4_type::operator() which is used by boost::unit_test::ut_detail::template_test_case_gen 
which in its turn is used by BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE

The problematic code is provided below. The test_case created here never gets deleted.
{{{
template<typename TestType>
void        operator()( mpl::identity<TestType> )
{
  ...
  m_holder.m_test_cases.push_back( 
     new test_case( full_name, test_case_template_invoker<TestCaseTemplate,TestType>() ) );
}
}}}

Below is the code that can be used to reproduce the issue:
{{{
#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN
#include <boost/test/auto_unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/test/test_tools.hpp>
#include <boost/test/test_case_template.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/list.hpp>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( TestMemLeak )

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE( TestCase, Type, boost::mpl::list<int> )
{
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()
}}}

'''Note:''' This leak is detected only when application is linked with C runtime statically.
Configured test application can be found in the attachment
