finite lagoon
I am pretty new to Odin an am writing compiler as a learning project. I came to a problem with memory leak warnings that I cannot solve. In the image is one of the procedures where the memory leak happens, specifically in strings.clone() line. But I don't know how to solve this because I cannot just defer delete this string. I am thinking either the whole code structure is not correct or I need to use some memory stuff like allocators?

The general structure is fine, that just means whoever calls the proc needs to delete the string when they're done with it

so i need to delete it in test method? But this is 3 procedures deep

It has to be deleted somewhere. The alternative would be to use a temporary allocator (e.g. context.temp_allocator) so that you can free everything allocated with that allocator at once without needing to do it individually (free_all(context.temp_allocator)). That also works for tests, it won't complain about things in the temp_allocator

if the file has a long enough lifetime you could also just store a slice instead of cloning it
