--- Comment #3 from Ian Lance Taylor <ian at airs dot com> ---
Yes, the intended use is certainly to create the state once per program. Each
time you create a new state and use it for a backtrace the code does a bunch of
initialization work reading the debug info. Much better to do that only once.
Plus there is the memory leak problem.
That said, yes, there should be a function to free a state. But this code
should really change to create the state once anyhow, if at all possible.
