[LLVMdev] Cleaning up Module, ExecutionEngine, etc

[Kaylor, Andrew]

The ExecutionEngine takes ownership of the Module and would (theoretically) delete it in its destructor.

I'm not aware of a reason that the ExecutionEngine shouldn't be deleted.

The LLVM tutorial creates an instance of Module and ExecutionEngine, yet apparently never deletes these objects.  Shouldn't it?  Via something like:

	delete TheModule;

at the end of main()?

P.S.: Yes, I realize that the program will terminate and all memory for the process will be reclaimed anyway.  I'm talking about for a case where a more complicated program creates more than one Module, ExecutionEngine, etc.
