Yeah this just comes across as not understanding pointer ownership, or memory allocation in general. It's not a trivial issue, especially if you're dealing with weird C libraries. Sometimes you don't own a pointer you allocated. Sometimes you need a custom deleter. Within your own code you can just use std::make_unique and rely on the compiler to catch errors, but when passing raw pointers to libraries you really gotta read the docs and work carefully.
