Hi all,

A couple years ago any nCurses app would show unclosed memory in
Valgrind because of the way nCurses initializes, and at the time the
only solution was to recompile nCurses a different way. That solution
wasn't practical to me because I wanted to distribute apps without
asking computer users to recompile one of their programs.

At the time I suggested that maybe the type of initialization be
governed by a command line option on the compiled app. By any chance
has that been implemented yet?

no - as before, the way to test this is to use the configure option,
and the special entrypoints which free all of the memory that can
be accounted for.
