Humm, when I run valgrind over my code I'm getting:

I'm a little lost as to if this is something I'm doing wrong on my code, or
some kind of clang internal thing (seems internal, but I wouldnt have
expected clang to leak memory, so I suspect perhaps I'm not cleaning up
correctly after use?).

Any suggestions how to track this down?

My code is roughly like:

clang_createIndex(...);
clang_createTranslationUnitFromSourceFile(...);
clang_getTranslationUnitCursor(...);
clang_visitChildren(...);
clang_disposeTranslationUnit(...);
clang_disposeIndex(...);

Is there some other shutdown I need to run?

Doug.
