/*--------------------------------------------------
 * Memory management issues when using this library
 * ------------------------------------------------
 * - Calling SESL_LookupSymbol or SESL_CreateSymbol will allocate memory
 * - Calling SESL_FreeSymbol will deallocate that memory
 *
 * Library functions that modify a symbol, such as SESL_Dereference,
 * SESL_FindInBlock, SESL_FindMember, or SESL_Cast, do not create memory.
 * They overwrite the symbol struct that you pass to them with the new
 * symbol info. IMPORTANT: If these functions fail and return NULL, they
 * will also free the memory for the symbol passed in. In this way, you
 * can always replace the passed in pointer with the returned pointer without
 * the risk of memory leaks.
