I would like to define GetSpatialRef() for my raster driver as something like:

    const OGRSpatialReference* GetSpatialRef() const override {
        OGRSpatialReference* poSRS = new OGRSpatialReference();
        if (poSRS->importFromEPSGA(27700)!=OGRERR_NONE)
        {
            delete poSRS;
            poSRS = nullptr;
        }
        return poSRS;
    }

Unfortunately, valgrid reports that this leaks in the "new"
on the line
   OGRSpatialReference* poSRS = new OGRSpatialReference();

On the other hand,

    const OGRSpatialReference* GetSpatialRef() const override {
        return new OGRSpatialReference("EPSG:27700");
    }

is no better:

This is with both gdal 3.0.4 and 3.1.2 on Ubunto 20.04.
