Comment:

 I can't do anything with this without a more complete test case.

 In this example, if bidObj is a pointer type - there definitely will be a
 memory leak - but this would be an application error rather than an issue
 with the library itself.  Basically if one deserializes a pointer type
 object, the library uses new to create a new object and it is the
 responsability of the application to see that it is deleted.  Note that
 the demo.cpp has this issue.  I left it in there because I didn't want to
 make the demo more complex than necessary.
