True, cleaning up the memory is a bonus, but here it's safe to assume that the internal state of the compiler is bad in some way. Throwing an exception upon too many errors might be problematic because there's no telling where it might trigger, but otherwise, the compiler abort tends to occur after it's finished attempting to compile its current node trees, so most memory should be freed. Still, it's something one might want to research to see if the exception handler can check and free some global structures.<br>

This is bad news, because it in effect means that the try/finally is necessary
<br>
if people want to fix memleaks :(
<br>
<br>
This will considerably slow down the compiler.
