fix memory leak on mac os #83

Open Lurk opened 3 years ago

Lurk commented 3 years ago

TLDR version of why:

The Clipboard crate calls NSPasteboard.readObjectsForClasses to get current clipboard content, but not Rust nor Objective C runtime knows who is responsible for freeing memory, so nobody frees it. Surprise!
