Fabien,

Good question.  The answer is that doing the delete
yourself is ok if you are using the same heap as the GDAL DLL.
This is always the case on Unix/Linux.

If not, they need to be deleted in the GDAL DLL,
but no appropriate destroy method has been provided.

I would appreciate your filing a bug report on this issue.

Best regards,
