i think there should be a memory leak in this case as i cannot free temp ,right so how can i control memory leak here

#include<malloc.h>

int* fun();
int main()
{
  int *p2 = fun();
  free(p2);
   return 0;
 }

int* fun()
{
  int *p1 = (int *)malloc(10);
  return p1;
}

#include<malloc.h>
#include "findLeak.h"


int* fun();
int main()
{
  int *p2 = fun();
  free(p2);
  WriteMemLeak();
  return 0;
 }

int* fun()
{
  int *p1 = (int *)malloc(10);
  return p1;

}
