Errata: Memory leak in example code (ch3. pg.67)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Listing 3.2 on page 67 contains a memory leak, with internally allocated memory 
for the platform information not being released.

See attached file for code snippet.

P.S.
I realize that this isn't the focus of the example code, however it is still an 
errata. If these types of issue reports are of no need, please let me know.

This is indeed a memory leak.  Ben, there are a number of these leaks in 
OpenCLInfo.cpp, please fix.  Thanks.

Is this really a memory leak?  If you use alloca() to allocate memory then that 
memory should be automatically deallocated upon return from the parent 
function.  If you used alloc() then that would be a memory leak.

Indeed - Sorry I didn't notice the 'a' at the end of 'alloca'. This issue can 
be closed.
