[LLVMdev] clang::CompilerInstance leaks memory on compilation failures
Hi, I am using the clang::CompilerInstance to compile a piece of code. I am running my tests through Clang -fsanitize=address. The test case where the compilation succeeds does not leak any memory. But if the compilation fails, then it seems to leak memory. Is this a known bug? Am I supposed to explicitly freeup somethings when the compilation fails (The code already calls llvm::shut_down() towards the end of the process) if(!clang.ExecuteAction(*action)) { throw new CompilationError("failed to compile", std::move(errors)); } The rest of the code looks similar to what others have posted on the internet (but haven't gotten a response yet): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24314060/clang-in-memory-parser-does-not-perform-full-clean-up-for-the-memory-it-allocate http://clang-developers.42468.n3.nabble.com/Running-multiple-actions-with-clang-interpreter-without-memory-leak-td3451862.html I am using Clang3.5 Thanks!
