[Mod-security-developers] Observing memory leak with ruleset creation

[adoring g. <gad...@gm...>]

Hi,

I am observing a memory leak with the operator objects not being freed,
once the ruleset is cleaned up.
With a test program that initializes modsecurity, reads a ruleset and
cleans up the ruleset

global_modsec = msc_init();
global_rules = msc_create_rules_set();
const char* error = NULL;
msc_rules_add_file(global_rules, "rules.conf", &error);
msc_rules_cleanup(global_rules);
msc_cleanup(global_modsec);

I see memory leaks:

How do we deallocate the memory used by the parser?
