Oh, please, no excuses about the compiler leaking memory because of LLVM, if you know that then don't load it into the IDE process.

Ah, that has to be done to use it for IDE tooling, like code completion and all kinds of source related things.

Now you see why other languages and IDEs go the way of separating this and using a language service to provide such information

I think there are other reasons. A compiler should not leak memory anyway.

Also a compiler is not needed for IDE tooling.

Code Insight/Completion, Error Insight, Background Compilation  - all depends on various parts of the compilers.

Or you just use it to prepare demos.

And historically, some pretty bad parts, it seems.
