It is not a bug, I just wanted to clarify the magic going on behind the
scenes - which, is "ownership".
That's all I needed to know.
The key to seeing this trick/magic is in the Create function where you
pass in the C (connection) as the owner.
But on my cell phone I didn't really see this, and, it's not always
obvious.. hence my gripe.
In a way, this is a form of garbage collection or RAII sort of. And
reduces the obnoxious free's required in non garbage collected
programming languages... So it's a nice feature/trick to have ownership.
But at the same time you can think there is a memory leak since there is
no create/free pair easily visible...
So you train your eyes to look for ownership.
And similarly, delphi gui widgets you throw onto a form, don't need to
be freed yourself, even though the program created them - so in a way
delphi TForm's gui widgets are also garbage collected, sort of. Again a
nice feature/trick to avoid all the obnoxious free calls that bloat up
the source code with line noise.
