simplecpp chokes on clang/master/INPUTS/stpcpy-test.c

[amai2012]

The following testcode from clang ​https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clang-ykt/clang/master/INPUTS/stpcpy-test.c causes simplecpp to choke (run out of memory):

Reducing the last of block of 33 lines (stpcpy... ) to one line works for me. But it also shows: memory is not released directly after expansion, but instead increases linearly with the number of stpcpy- lines.

When the last of the nested macro calls has been done, the memory used for the expanded expression could be freed after the replacement text has been output.
