I am doing a small Project. I am checking about memory leaks using the tool Valgrind. When I use this tool, I got the bellow information.

These are the codings I have used the function strdup. I have used in LEX code.
{string} {
yylval.string = strdup(yytext + 1);
yylval.string[yyleng - 2] = 0;
return PPSTRING;
}
{numvar} { yylval.string = strdup(yytext);return(PPNUMVAR); }
{sysnumvar} { yylval.string = (char *) strdup(yytext);return(PPSYSNUMVAR); }
I don't know in which point the memory has been leaked.
