Hi Andreas,

> valgrind. Were you able to reproduce that on your end?

Yes; I commented in the issue.

> Possible memory leak in POCL:

https://gitlab.tiker.net/inducer/pytential/issues/131

We have a buildbot which tracks memory leaks by building pocl with Address 
Sanitizer (cmake  -DENABLE_ASAN=ON). I have discovered that due to some faulty 
logic in cmake/ctest, some memleaks went unnoticed; this has now been fixed in 
release_1_4 & master. Ofc it's possible that it's a different leak; the test 
coverage is not full.

Unfortunately i don't have any good advice for finding memory leaks when using 
pocl in Python. ASan may be impossible to use, and valgrind will probably 
report a lot of false positives (and be slow). Also i'm not sure it's possible 
to force Python to release an object, which makes it even more problematic. 
With C/C++ it's much simpler - if you call clUnloadPlatformCompiler() at the 
end of your program, and you've properly released all cl_* objects, pocl will 
additionally release all LLVM related data, including long-lived static data 
structures; after this there should only be a single memory leak, from LLVM 
signal handlers.
