[LLVMdev] LLVM C++ API memory management

[Gregory Petrosyan]

While reading LLVM API docs, I have noticed a lot of plain "new"/"delete"
statements, and lots of bare pointers ("Value* = foo.getSomeValue()" etc.).

How exactly LLVM manages it's own memory? Who is responsible for
allocating/deallocating things? Why smart pointers are not used?

Thanks in advance. I hope I haven't missed some basic chapter about this
in tutorial :-)
