[postgis-devel] Re: [geos-devel] Finding the Leak

[Paul Ramsey]

This is where I was headed this morning until I had two children
dropped on me. There needs to be an accessor for baseGeom in the capi
so that PostGIS can actually manage the destruction of the Geometry.
BTW have a look at the _destroy functions in capi and tell me if it
would be better to run the factory destruction than what is there now
(simple delete).
