Surelog (library) leaks memory.

[mglb]

Surelog, at least when used as a library, has significant memory leaks. First discovered in systemverilog-plugin, but later verified with basic Surelog examples (e.g. hellouhdm). Brief look at logs tells that leaking memory is being allocated in both Surelog and UHDM.

Build

# export CXX='clang++'
# cmake \
    -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
    -DCMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-gdwarf-4" \
    -S . -B build
# cmake --build build -j $(nproc)

(-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-gdwarf-4" is for Valgrind compatibility when compiling with Clang 15+)

Run

# cd build/bin
# valgrind ./hellouhdm ../../tests/UnitElabBlock/top.v

Antlr is responsible for most of the leaks. UHDM memory leaks is going to be solved with the Garbage collection WIP
